After the show today I was back at my desk when I got a call from the Coffee Fairy, she wanted to let me know the hockey guy was there to drop off a few things we were using in the show.
I didn't expect him to ask for me, but I was ok with it, because he's pretty cute.
So I popped up to the lobby to greet him and he was looking especially hot today. Ok so it's only the second time I've seen him... the first he was wearing a suit, but this time he was in his casual traveling clothes and I have to say they were really working for him.
We chatted briefly about work and then he was off, but before I could make it back to my desk the Coffee Fairy chimed in... he's cute isn't he?
Me: Yes
Coffee Fairy: Do you like him? He's just your type.
Me: He is cute but he's a decade too young, I'm pretty sure he's in his 20's.
Coffee Fairy: who cares?! Besides that's just what you need!
Me: I care!
Coffee Fairy: I think he likes you (she thinks everyone likes me)... he was a little awkward.
Me: I'm sure he was awkward because he felt like his mother was flirting with him
Coffee Fairy: No absolutely not!
Me: Goodbye... I'm going back to my desk now.
But I didn't get a reprieve there either. I started telling the Cheerleader what I had planned with the things the hockey guy had dropped off, then she started in on me too.
Cheerleader: Do you think he's cute?
Me: Yes
Cheerleader: Well?
Me: Well what? He's young... too young!
Cheerleader: Age is just a number.
Someone else listening in to the conversation... it doesn't matter how old you are when the lights go off.
Ok... that's enough. It was time for me to put an end to the conversation. What a crazy bunch of ladies I work with!
I know I really should embrace it but it is really hard.
Besides, I'm not asking for much, just a guy in his late 30's or early 40's who doesn't look or act like he's in his 50's... is that so hard?!
Evidently so, but I'm still holding out hope that he's out there, and who knows? Maybe the hockey guy just looks freakishly young for his age?
Or perhaps I should just give in to my cougar cravings and go with it?
I think I'd have to pretty much be drunk the first few months of the relationship in order for me to get past that much of an age difference. Then I'm sure I'd sober up and put an end to it all, so what's the point?
