I’ve been trying to move on. I had thought I was over him. I started going on dates. While I was waiting to meet the guy for the most recent date, suddenly a pianist in the street started playing the song he and I had. We had a few songs which doesn’t make it easy. This has happened on more than one occasion.
So this was a surprise.
A man asked me out, I’ve gotten better at telling ages and figured he was 5-7 years older which is reasonable.
He asked me out, at first I said no but then he tried again and made me laugh so I said yes.
He said he wanted to take me to a restaurant, sent me the location. Insanely expensive and very dark sexy type restaurant. I said no, let’s do coffee.
So he meets me, we grab coffee, he starts hinting at his money. Jokes about having an envelope of cash since he’s traveling and doesn’t know what to do with it. He mentions wanting to go to the nearby (luxury) hotel to use the bathroom, suddenly getting close to me and touching my back. I’m annoyed but it all goes over my head.
Later he asks if I’m in school. I say no and I ask his age, find out it’s 40. He asked my age which is 33. He is stunned. I asked and he said he thought I was 22/23…. It got awkward and he started being a little more formal.
It all clicks, continually talking about the cash he had with him… the hotel.. I’m thinking I’m on a normal date with a guy reasonably close to my age… he thinks he’s on idk what with someone nearly 20 years younger then him.
Btw Im wearing a loose blue skirt that goes to my calves and a loose white sweater. This is the outfit I’ve worn to church. No skin showing. Just the age difference made him think this I guess.
