Anti-wrinkle Cream

Do I need it, at just 26? Maybe…at least that’s all I can think since older guys asking me out seems to be a trend not just a once in a while mistake. And not high school older where they’re like a whole two years older, but like oh I don’t know…more along the lines of they were finishing college while I was in nappies older.

Being 26 and dating (or not dating) is awful! I CAN NOT tell how old people are, and can’t get over the idea that I could conceivable date someone in their late 30s which means that they’re almost 40, and I remember when my parents were in their 30s and watched “30 Something”, it’s just terrifying. Plus, I feel like an ageist snob, and how do you tell a guy that even though he’s exactly what would look good on paper for you: outdoorsy, a community leader, volunteers all the time, sweet, enthusiastic, never married before but would like to settle down in a few years, owns gorgeous land, loves to travel…that you won’t go out on a date because you think that he may be too old (but really you have no clue how old he might be)? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

And I know I’m not alone in this. An alarming pattern has surfaced among my single girl friends of being asked out by much older guys who don’t see a problem with the fact that they have grandchildren and we still have grandparents that we visit.

So anti-wrinkle cream seems to be the only logical solution (but it’s not that logical since I don’t think I have wrinkles yet, but I do have some gray hairs so maybe I should pluck those), or maybe I just need to act even younger. Nope I’ve got it, I’m just going to become a nun until I’m in my 50s and then dating someone in their 70s might not seem so extreme?
