Keep me in your heart

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever

You’ve opened my eyes

You've opened my eyes. You've expanded my horizons. You make courage visible. You make love visible.

I admit, I like older guys. Does that make me a gold digger?

All my life I have always fallen for the older guy. I grew up at a very young age and I am just so fed up with all the games and drama with men my age. It’s utterly annoying and just a pain. I admit, I like older guys. What does that make me? Whenever I have a questions that needs to be answered, I consult the world-wide web for an answer. It’s such a beautiful place. My favorite article I found was sadly a part of planned parenthood. Yes, the place where teens can get abortions. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/teen-talk/dating-family-friends/dating-hooking-up/does-age-matter-when-girls-date-older-guys-25350.htm I know, its pathetic, but I have to agree with every single statement. My first serious relationship was when I was 13. He was 17. At such a young age, I was already going after older guys. The relationship was so beautiful, young love in the making. We spent every friday and saturday evenings together for about 3 months. We watched the sunset and the stars on top of a hill. It was exactly like a cheesy movie. He was captain of a state hockey team. He was sweet, nice, caring and romantic. What more could I ask for? I do not believe that age differences are a big deal but at the same time, I am somewhat worried that in 10 years I am going to marry a 60-year-old guy.

Do you have advice or stories about dating an older male? Please comment below with stories and suggestions!

I wake up every Saturday morning to an early alarm and a student waiting for me to help him in algebra. I really enjoy helping people and love to inspire kids with knowledge. Today I let him use my graphing calculator and he is having so much trouble. Instead of helping him, i just watch him struggle with all the buttons. Its surprising amusing to watch a 12 year old try to figure out where the ON button is. Not only that but he talks to his hashbrowns. I love this kid.
The only problem is we go to Mickey D’s because it’s close to his house. The Mickey D’s is always filled with a bunch of old scary Italian guys. They’re also extremely creepy looking also. I love the elders of the world but somehow the feelings are not mutual. Any ideas on how to be more liked by the older generation?
