confidence and the younger man
The past few years were very difficult, after someone close to me, and moving away from inner city life by myself to live and work in the country.
Work was good for me, but privately, I was constantly down; away from my friends and in an area where everyone seemed to settle in their early twenties was not the best move. (The city has so much going on, you don't
think about settling until your early thirties, right?)
Anyway, I recently turned 30 (still looking 24 :wink: ), and this was a HUGE turning point for me.
There were the initial pangs of worry about embarking on a new and un-chartered decade in life, but in reality, it marked the beginning of things looking up uP UP!!
It was at this stage I met a very sweet 20 year old young man, who started temping in my office during his uni hols.
Nothing romantic has gone on, but there's a kind of chemistry between us.
There may be 10 years seperating us (making me 50% older than him ) but we seem to have a lot in common.
His is devastatingly handsome, but does not have the cocky attitude that usually accompanies such looks. He is charming, intelligent and more of a gentleman than other, older men at my work. He was incredibly shy when he first started, but he is a lot more confident now.
He is, without a doubt the most interesting person I had met in years.
Since meeting him I found a new zest for life. I have rediscovered my 'youth', being more willing to go out and experience new things again. In short he has made a HUGE difference and has helped me to remember to live again.
The only downside to his age is he lacks the confidence to make a move, whether he wants to or not. Now the question is, is it morally incorrect for me to make that move (if I can bring myself !!!)???))
