The best part about doing the lung-busting, heart attack-inducing trek up the tracks at Kokohead is that Kona Brewing Company is there to greet you at the bottom. One evening as I was having my post trek beer, a 20-something kid started a conversation with me at the bar....okay, conversation might be a bit of a stretch....he said "hi". Since all his 20-something buddies were at a table watching him, I thought I'd give the young man a break and engaged in conversation....okay, once again a bit of a stretch, but you get my drift.
Perhaps because at this point I had more than one beer...or perhaps because I was impressed that the young man actually came up to me at the bar after his buddies were all mocking him...or (most likely) because the young man was a really cute blonde surfer kid AND I had more than one beer, I gave him my number.
Note to self:
1). If you meet someone while slightly under the influence, you definitely should engage in actual conversation before agreeing to meet for dinner (we did so via text).
2). Cute will NEVER make up for intelligence (or lack thereof).
3). If someone says they will meet you at a destination it doesn't necessarily mean that they are considering your safety and ability to leave at any time.....it might actually mean that they DON'T OWN A CAR.
I know what you are all thinking...the only reason to go out with anyone 20 years younger (whether you are a man or woman) is for sex.
4). The older I get, the less that sexual attraction is based on simple physical attraction.
But even if you're intelligent, witty, and thoughtful, I'm still not riding on the back of your moped.....
Moped! If that doesn't bring one back to being 20 and a student...Still, it must have been nice to get a bit of attention like that! (I hope this post shows because my last one seems to have disappeared into the ether!) Sandra
ReplyDeletei dunno what happened to your other post either......yeah, moped is only cute when you're 20-something or in italy....
