Cougar? Try again.

So, I'm always talking about my age and how it's an issue that I look so much younger. Well, I at least look old enough for an 18 year old boy to hit on me. No, I'm not proud of this.

I just went out to lunch with one of my best friends, her husband and two small children, and her husband's former student (a soon-to-be freshman at some college who played rugby for him). Now, let me explain that since I met her husband, he's been trying to set me up with just about anyone he can think of. This includes today, and this former student.

So Matt keeps joking that I could date this kid, and kid doesn't seem too opposed to it (naturally, I just roll my eyes and focus on my friend and the babies). And as Matt was leaving from lunch early with the kid, he tells me that he's going to give him my phone number (which thankfully Matt doesn't actually have). Kid then tells me that it's ok to be a cougar, and asks if I'm into younger men. I shake my head no (trying my hardest to not burst out laughing at the absurdity of this conversation), and then the kid says, "Oh, come on! Younger men have more stamina." I'm pleased to say that I made it into my car before I burst out laughing, despite all this.

Thanks kid, for making my week with that comment.
