I went out with a 19 year old girl the other night who I met in class. Way cute, way smart (at least mathematically), and way nothing to talk about. We had studied a few times together this past week, and I thought, hey she’s cute…why not ask her out?
And she said yes. Walked around the promenade. Had dinner. I drank. She couldn’t. Because it would have been illegal, and last thing I wanted to do was be that guy who caters to underage drinking. Conversation? Kinda boring, probably on her perspective as well. I mean, what does a 30 year old have to say to a 19 year that would really capture his attention and vice - versa.
Prior to the age of 20, I had no anecdotes or political stances or critical opinions as in pertains to race, diversity, and how people behave in this world. I, as well as my circle of peers, have truly evolved in the past 10 years to the point where I’m sure I have much more in common with those that are 10 years my elder rather than the opposite.
What to take out of it? Start dating women my own age or at the very least a +/- 5 year age differential.
