Valentine's Musings...

[meganintheuk]

So another Valentine’s Day has come and gone and try as I might to ignore it, it is slapped in your face so often it is impossible to do so.  This time last year I was but a few days out of “the breakup” and the world was still a bit of a blur.  The year has been almost totally uneventful romantically. There are many reasons for that. Mostly due to

One good thing about being single is the old hip pocket - we can save for things like travelling! And when you travel you are more likely to stop and talk to people - which has been what I have found. Met some fantastic people but I always make the mistake of not keeping in touch with them. I usually lose their contact details. *slaps own wrist*

Just don't give up - I went through a stage where I gave up and I shut my eyes and mind to a lot of things.

I'm old. I'm very odd. Most of the people 'may age' rather sensibly avoid me. So... most of my friends are younger

You're awesome. You know that *nods*

I'm all for younger friends..it seems to happen when you get older and don't have the 2.4 kids bit yet. The young 'uns are the ones that still want to go to gigs (note: except for Ruza, because my best ever gig buddy will never completely abandon me, even with a bazillion children under her belt!)! But I agree; you'd think twice before going out with one. My TBFB is fantastic, we've got heaps in common etc and have a really great time but he's 24 and is on the brink of his first 'seachange' where he's going to re-evaluate himself etc. Man, I need someone a tad more grown up than that! Plus I'm not willing to play the teacher and guider yet again. Yeah, I'm not sure where we find the older ones though...who aren't looking at the <25yo bracket :D take care *hugs*

..and using 'science'...

Oh, and remember the Standard Creepiness Rule: Don't date under (AGE/2)+7 ;)

Solace?

Just west of blackburn that is :)

Would give it to you if I could, but I suspect it's out of my price range and lifting capacity :)

Don't worry about dating younger ones, if they've got anything about them, it may well work, if they don't, you'll see it fairly quickly, and while they may run faster than you do, you have cunning on your side, so avoiding them won't be a problem :)

Besides.....

I seem to recall a conversation with you last year, around the march mark, where the impossible had happened to me, there'll be a time when I repay the favour.....

I was going to write somethin supportive but, quite franky, your use of emoticons disturbs me.

You'll never be old to me.

Pardon the poor typing.
