Notches

The fair was fun. J is a nice guy and was very much a gentleman. He thanked me for not standing him up (?) and when I left to go pick up my daughter, I told him I would talk to him later. He said "Really?!?". Hmmm.

I enjoy his company, but, for me, it really is just a friendship. Part of it is the age difference and part of it is that we have different interests. (He likes Nascar and wrestling, and I like Theatre and Symphonies. Although, I would try (almost) anything once. I think attending a car race and such would be fun, but there is a lot more out there too. The highlight of his evening, was that he got to take his picture with a bonafide stock car. Dont get me wrong, I am glad he was so excited. I really do get enjoyment when someone I am with, is finding it themselves. I kept finding myself, though, wishing I had my camera. The silouette of Mt. Washington against the hot orange summer sky would have been pretty to capture or the lights of the rides speeding past and the sticky faces of children.) We actually are 10 years apart. I don't have a problem dating men that are older than me, in fact, I prefer it, but it feels odd when I am the older, more experienced one. (Not that age dictates experience or even, maturity) Anyway, I am glad to have spent the time with him and would probably do it again.

Tonight, I get to take my daughter to the fair. Hopefully, I won't come home with a pet chicken .... er something.
