An Introduction

I have been a single fish in the big blue sea for just over five years now. I’ve tried meeting men in bars, at singles mingles, dance classes, and have even created online dating profiles with two different sites. Through all of these endeavors I have acquired several interactions with men who, unfortunately, fell short of what I am looking for. These stories can not be kept to oneself and thus have been told and retold to all of my friends and every new friend that joins our circle. My friends have been telling me for awhile now that I need to write a book or document these stories in some way so that they can be shared with others and so that we can all return to them whenever we are in need of a good laugh.

Some of these tales are old, some are from yesterday, some are long, some are short, and some aren’t about men in particular but are conversations between the ladies! I’ll write them all as they come to me…

Older Men: Vincent!

So I have a new job as an office assistant/receptionist for a small business. Most of my business's clients are people in their 40-60's. This job has been eye opening in many ways but especially in the ways of older men. Apparently I am significantly more attractive to men in their 50-60's than those in their 20-30's.  Here is one such example:

Vincent:

Vincent goes everywhere with his dog Scout by his side (his dog is absolutely wonderful and probably the best trained dog I have ever met). The first time I met Vincent and Scout I couldn't help but pull myself away from my work to play and pet Scout. This led to Vincent and I chatting, mostly about Scout. In the middle of our conversation he stopped and said "What's your name again?" "Ms. Damselfish" "Well Ms. Damselfish, you are very cute!" "Oh thanks!" Then he looked down at Scout "Scout remember those chick magnet skills we worked on, you have my okay with this one."  We both laughed, me a little awkwardly. A few seconds later he was called back to my boss's office. On our way back he said to me "If you just happen to follow us home that would be okay."

About 2 weeks later he stopped into the office again. This time he was more direct and exclaimed: "You are just too cute I want to take you home with me." I smiled and changed the subject to Scout who was sitting at my feet giving me puppy eyes. It has been a fantasy of mine to date a guy with a dog and Scout was a great dog.... Unfortunately, Vincent was 60 (older than my own father). Too bad.

Oh and later that day when I told my boss about Vincent's harmless advances he told me that Vincent was married... F***ing men. Though I suspect the next time Vincent comes in and compliments me it will still bring a smile to my face.


Oh and if you want to see why I gave it a second thought look up german shepherd and shiba inu puppies!
