I was in class on Wednesday and we were critiquing all of our portfolio's as part of our mid-term. A really cute guy in this class has been openly flirting with me since day one. I must admit I have enjoyed it tremendously and flirted right back. As you know, I have been in a horrid mood over kindred spirit (who called AGAIN Friday) and this was a fun distraction. So, as someone else was talking on Wednesday night, cute guy leans over and asks me am I going to this opening at the Art Institute in 2 weeks. It is not part of our grade but the instructor encourages us to attend these things as extra learning for the class. I really hadn't thought about it as work as been extremely busy and my social time has been sucked up by this upcoming audit. I told him I wasn't sure and he leaned closer and whispered, "if you do decide to go how about we get a drink after?" I was completely taken by surprise! I thought it had all been just harmless, being bored flirting. I never thought he would ask me out. I mumbled something like I would let him know and then joined the discussion on the art work in front of us. Normally, with the mood I have been in, I would have immediately accepted. The problem I am facing, however is this - he is quite a bit younger than I am. I have always attracted younger men for some reason. I really don't have a problem with age. For me, it has always came down to how the other person and I relate. Last time I had a relationship with some one younger(kindred spirit), the fact that I had already done the wife and kid part of my life was the problem. I know that by going and having a drink it does not mean I am going to fall in love and have to deal with all the age difference problems that can come up. My hesitancy is he is markedly younger than I am. So, the question I am throwing out there is how young is too young?

October 9, 2007
Things have been pretty crazy the last few weeks. I have been getting ready for an audit at work and school has been kicking my ass! I am taking a drawing class two nights a week. The classes are three hours long! Since I haven't drawn in so many years it has taken me a bit to get back in the habit, but I must admit I am having tons of fun with it. Mid-terms are this week so I have been busting butt to get it all done and I'm really happy with the way my piece's have turned out. I might post a picture of one of them sometime.
Do you remember when you were 18 and graduated from High School and were an "adult?" You knew everything there was to know and you couldn't wait til you moved out so you could live "your own life?" Yeah, that is where L is right now! Help!
On the other hand, do you remember when you were 16? Hormones were raging and the last person you wanted to "talk" about things with was your Mom? That is where J is right now. He has always been a mommas boy =] but things they are a changin! He is very busy with school. He has a very difficult class load this year; Honors Trig, Honors Pre Calc, Honors English, Honors History, Spanish III, and Sports Medicine. He is only a Junior! Plus, he has a girlfriend. Which, he usually does but this time it's different. I think he really really likes her! They have been dating for about four months now. It's cute to watch! We still talk, but we don't talk about him. I can tell you any thing you want to know about his friends and such, but when it comes to J ...nothing. It's really bugging me. L didn't do this. She has always told me everything, and by that I mean EVERYTHING! I don't need that much information lol but some would be nice. He is still my baby and can make me laugh like no other. It's just that when we do spend time, just the two of us, there are awkward silences now. It's weird.
As far as kindred spirit goes, nothing new really. He has called again, and I was thankfully busy so I cut the conversation very short. I ran into him at a place we hang out. I don't know if it was an accident or not. He knew I would be there since it was the first Tuesday of the month. I spoke to him for a few minutes, but then he was interrupted by the wife calling and got all guilty looking and walked away from our table. Just more of the same shit. It really was so good to see him. I have really missed seeing his face. It was good that she called and he acted the way he did. That part helped. This whole thing is just HARD. But seriously, what kind of man dates a girl for a year and a half, cheats the whole time he's with her, then gets married with the intention to keep cheating? On the other hand, what kind of woman cheats with him? Ugh!
On a side note, I shall be listening to fellow blogger rwa tonight while I sketch(homework!). He has a new blog radio show at 7:30 EST. He had problems last week as it was his first broadcast - unfortunately it never happened. He has all the kinks worked out now so if you get the chance you should check it out. All the information and links are on his page.
