I am writing this at the request of another member, who wanted to know more about a past relationship i had with a much older man. I have changed some names and details to protect the innocent. Before I begin, some background about me at the time: 23 years old, 5'8", brunette, probably around 125lbs or so, green eyes, of Irish/German descent, outgoing and flirty
When I was 23, I was working a retail job in a department store while I finished up my degree. It was fun, and I spent most of my time there working in the men's department. The hours were great, and I will admit, I met a few cute guys there...some of whom I ended up dating. One of them was an older black man named James, who came in to get sized for a suit. Turns out, he was 52, but looked really good for his age: tall, great build, shaved head, beautiful eyes, very friendly and very flirty!
We had one of our on-site tailors take his measurements and I brought back some suits for him to try on. We started chatting and I was immediately turned on by his confidence and his flirty ways...he was really funny. Looking back, he had me from the start and he knew it! I was giving him all the right responses—playing with my hair, smiling, and giggling at his jokes. After the tailor finished his measurements he left to take care of other customers, leaving me and James(as I soon found out) alone to go over his options. He immediately started complimenting me on what I brought him to try on, and he also complimented me on my own outfit (I was wearing a plain black sheath dress with my store-issued blazer over it). And although they were kind of uncomfortable, I had on 3 3/4" pumps and very sheer nude nylons. He ended up asking me to dinner that night, but I had plans, so he asked about the next night. I told him I was free, but I had classes that following morning, so if I went out with him, it might be an abbreviated date. He did not mind and told me he was taking me to a nicer restaurant. So, we exchanged numbers and he left with his items.
He called me that night, and we talked for about two hours. He was quite charming and very mature, which appealed to me. He kept complimenting me on my looks and how I was dressed at work...he said he wanted me to wear a dress that "showed off my long and sexy legs" on our dinner date.
Well, working at a department store has its perks! I ended up finding a really cute, long-sleeve, black, lace dress that was just about to mid thigh. I had some cute dresses I could have worn, but I wanted to wear something new that would get his attention.
I should say, that by this time I had dated my share of black guys, but not someone this much older. I was only 23 and here he was, 52!! He was older than my father! The immediate difference I noticed between James and others was his maturity and smoothness. He had no problem giving me compliments without sounding dirty or creepy, like so many guys can sound. He was also very sure of what he wanted...especially when he told me to wear a little dress for him...that was a big turn on!
