When I was 32 I was dating women who were 18-19 as well as women who were as old as 46. Considering I married a woman 13 years younger than me when I was 36 I would have to say I am all for it. But as evidence I will just pass along my story of the most interesting time of my life.
Names have been changed to protect the delusional. Late November 1992 to early March 1993 I was back in with my parents after 12 years but moved in with an old buddy of mine. I got my computer set up again and discovered the new online world that had gotten so much bigger since I started in 1987. I found a BBS called TechnoManna that was being run by a woman named Cassie who called herself SysopLust. Cassie was the center of attention and she had the personality to match. She had all the males online wrapped around her little finger and all the females Jealous. Even though she had her stable she had a way of making you feel like you were the special one. One night we ended up on the phone talking for hours. She had a sexy voice to match. She lived in Phoenixville and a few nights later at 11pm we decided to meet at Denny's in KOP for a snack. Cassie had kinky blonde hair almost like an afro. And blue eyes to match. Cassie had been a big girl growing up in Georgia. But she managed to lose almost 200 lbs to get to where she was. She also loved laying the makeup on. What she may have had minor lacking in appearance she made up with emotionally. Only way to describe it would be lust at first sight but not quite real. I had stopped in a gas station on the way and picked up a rose. When I gave it to her she threw her arms around me and gave me a wonderful kiss. We ordered some ice cream. We were the only ones in our section of the restaurant in a big round booth. And soon we were making out. Making out in a Denny's at midnight. We were there until 2am. My heart was all weird because it was the first surge of emotional feelings towards another woman. As if it could be that simple.
Two nights later there were a couple of guys arguing about Cassie online. She had spent the night with one of them and the other who thought he was her current boyfriend was a tad upset. I was just speechless. Cassie was not on. She was out at some other guys house. There was another girl that came online. Booboo. Wow, that brought back memories. Booboo's name was Eileen. Eileen had been one of the BBS girls who was at my house for our first BBS party in 1987. Eileen was a bubbly blonde who was only 17 at that time.
