The following is a true story that happened not too long ago. Many men my age would love for something like this to happen to them. I will relate the story to the best of my memory.
* * * * *
I am an older guy in my early 60's, still in good shape, salt and pepper gray hair, 6' 0", 200 lbs., and considered distinguished looking with rugged good looks. I have never had much of a problem attracting women, and have always dated younger women, usually 10 to 15 years younger. For some reason, I seem to relate to them a lot better than I do with women my age.
At any rate, I went to the local grocery store one afternoon about a month ago to pick up something to eat for that evening. I'm not much of a shopper but, being single, it's a necessity for survival. I was standing in front of the meat counter looking to see what I would have for dinner when this female voice said, "Excuse me, but could you help me pick out a good steak."
I turned around and standing to my right was a young woman who appeared to be in her late twenties or early thirties, about 5'5", blonde hair, very pretty face, great smile, nice tits, slim waist, and great legs.
I said, "Hi, sure I'll try to help!" She smiled very big and told me that she would really appreciate my help. Her Dad and Mom were coming for dinner and she wanted to fix them a steak dinner. She looked like the "Girl Next Door!" You know the type?
I asked her what kind of steak she was looking for, but it was obvious that she didn't have a clue about steaks, so I recommended she get ribeyes. She said, "Ok, show me three good ones!"
Now, I'm thinking, three steaks, hmmm, Mom, Dad, and this sexy girl next door type standing beside me, makes three! Why doesn't this good looking thing have a date? I really had no ulterior motive other than to wonder why she didn't have a guy coming to the dinner. Could she be a lesbian?
So, me being the straight forward person that I am simply asked her why she didn't have a date for the Mom/Dad Dinner? I mean, I just blurted out, "Why does a good looking woman like you not have a date for the special occasion?"
She replied that she wasn't dating anyone at the present time. She had just broken up with her guy about four months before, and had not started dating yet. I said, "Ok, I understand that!"
I pointed three good steaks out to her and told her good luck with the dinner. As I turned to walk away, I noticed that she picked up a forth steak.
I didn't think anymore about it until I got to the checkout counter and she was right in front of me in the line. This fantastic looking young woman turned and as she smiled, she said, "I really thank you for helping me. I just want this dinner to go well!" I said, " I understand, and you are very welcome!"
The line was detained by someone who had an item that wouldn't ring up, and as we waited for them to get a price check, we started chatting. She was telling me about her boyfriend that she had broken up with. She said that she was tired of staying home while he went out all the time and wouldn't let her go with him. She didn't think he was screwing around on her, she just didn't like the fact that he spent more time with his golf buddy's than with her.
I asked, "How often does he play golf?" She replied, "Every other day!" I laughed, and she laughed with me. I said, "He doesn't have to work?" She said, "No, he's retired!"
Well, here comes my straight forward approach again. I said, "Just how old was your boyfriend?" She said, "He's 62, he retired early, living on his retirement pension." I said, "you cant be over 30, and you are dating a guy 32 years older than you?" She laughed and said, "I am 29, and I just like my men to be older!" I laughed and said, "Good thing he won't be at the dinner, he's probably older than your Mom and Dad!"
She again laughed and said, "As a matter of fact, he is 7 years older than my Dad, and 11 years older than my Mom!" I said, "How do they feel about you dating men older than them?" Her reply was, "They love it, they look at it like I am getting what I want and they have gained another friend!"
With that, she looked at me and said, "How about you, what are you doing Friday night?" I laughed and showed her my frozen dinner. She laughed and said, "Can you cook a steak?" I told her I was the best! We both laughed.
About that time the line started moving and she was next to be checked out. As she was unloading her basket on the conveyer belt, she turned to me and said, "I will wait outside for you, I want to talk to you!" My heart raced. Why would this beautiful young woman want to talk to me? She finished checking out and walked out without saying another word.
It seemed like it took the checker an hour to scan everything, but she finally finished, I paid and walked out with my groceries in hand.
The beautiful young lady was waiting just outside the door, and when I walked out, her face lit up. She walked toward me and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself, I'm Lynn, and your name is?" I said, "Hi Lynn, my name is Bob."
