Last night I attended an awards dinner. Statewide journalism awards. It was just me -- a 49-year-old journalist and editor -- and two young reporters who work for me. (We have more people who work with us, but who couldn't make it.) One of the two reporters who were with me is a jovial dude just finishing his master's degree. The other is a beautiful young woman who contributed for us a few years ago before going off to New York. She came back and has been working freelance for me for the past couple months. She can't be older than 26 or so. I have been and always will be nothing but appropriate and professional, but ... she was just so pretty in a long black dress, shawl over her shoulders. She leaned in so we could both look at a news update on her phone and she smelled so good. I bought them both a round of drinks and entirely would have bought her another after the dinner, if she had wanted to linger.
What's the point of this story? It's frustrating, a little bit, to be so attracted to younger women, but also a bit shy and committed to not making any younger woman feel uncomfortable, nor to mess up professional relationships.
Also, the awards didn't go great. I got second place in a category I thought I was going to win, and we got second and third in a couple other categories that would have been nice to place better.
So today I'm just feeling a kind of ennui. It's a lovely day out, and I think this afternoon I'm going to plant the first stages of my garden, and if I have time take the kayak out for an hour or so. And then tonight I'm going to cover a professional soccer game, where the media relations person is also a younger woman upon whom I have the sweetest little crush.
And I dunno ... I'd just like some company, I guess. I'm recently separated from a marriage that was amicable (and we're still amicable) but not intimate. I'm a Dom, obviously, usually of the Daddy variety, though I'm kind of rethinking what that means, exactly. I'm handsome, I'm told, but not like ... stunningly so? I mean maybe I am, if I fit your tastes. I'm not real tall. I have shaved hair and a salt & pepper beard that I keep neatly trimmed. More salt than pepper, to be honest. I have bright blue eyes and soft, full lips. And I'm lonely. The company of sweet young lady who just wants nothing more than to make a dom man happy would be exactly what I need today. Happy to chat here for a bit before moving to another platform ... might even be up for a phone call after the game tonight. And if we vibe ... well, who knows.
Send me a message. Tell me something about you. A favorite book or movie, your plans for the weekend, a funny story about your pet. Anything that you think will lift my spirit. Can't wait to hear from you.
