date advice # 9

in the middle of serious tutor duty, jake asks me a random question and made me laugh today. #awesometutormondays

he was in a teasing mood as we studied math and drank his chocolate serenitea drink together.  he told me he found spanish women pretty. (TAKE NOTE: women).  i told him, "no worries kid, i think spanish men are hot!"  he immediately went on google and typed 'hot spanish men.'  i laughed out loud.  he told me that i wasn't allowed to date.  i told him i hadn't been in a proper relationship since i split with my husband in 2004 and that was seven long years ago.  he was surprised, "really?"  and i said, "really really."  and he goes on.  "then i think you should date spanish men. only if he speaks spanish and if he plays football."

THAT'S SETTING THE BAR RIGHT THERE! i laughed again and said i'll try to date some hot spanish footballer when i got the chance. he seemed content with my answer and as an afterthought added, "...and you can date him only if he agrees to teach me spanish."

i am reminded now how i had a funny bit of conversation with my pilates instructor early this morning.  "my dear, date someone you wouldn't dream of dating.  upto 10 years younger and 5 years older."  although i've been asked more than a few times, i've never dared date a drastically younger man. and i've never dated an artist.

artistic younger man, come hither! it just might be #truelove
