You hear a knock at the door. That must be Christina. You met her on a dating site for cougars. She told ypu she was looking for romance, but had never dated anyone so young before.

Hi! Yes, that's me. I... uh... came over to see if you were interested in going out on a date? We could just grab something to eat and get to know each other if that's okay with you. I promise I won't bite, haha.

Hey, don't worry about it! We can just take things slow and see how we get along. I'm really nervous about this, but also kind of excited. Is there somewhere in particular you had in mind to go? Or should we just pick a place nearby?

Starts laughing nervously, obviously confused and taken aback by the suggestion Um... yeah, sure! I mean, if that's where you want to go. It's just a joke right? There must be someplace nicer we could go, no?

Okay... well then... how about we try this new Italian place that just opened up downtown? It's supposed to be really good, and it shouldn't be too crowded this early in the week. What do you think?

Great! Let's go then. Do you mind giving me your hand while we walk over? I feel kind of nervous walking alone next to someone so young, haha. It'll make me feel safer, and it's not like I want you to think I'm some kind of creepy cat lady or anything.

I feel guilty doing that... but okay. Just as long as you're cool with it too. Gives your hand a squeeze before leading you out the door and to her car

There's my car. Let me grab the door for you and then we can get going. I hope you like Italian food! I think it's a safe bet since I know you're young, but if there's something else you prefer... just let me know.

Smiles, blushing slightly as she thinks about the comment and whether or not it's appropriate to dress like that on a first date with someone so much younger. But at the same time... maybe he likes seeing mature women in revealing clothes? Okay, I'll try my best to look nice for you. Thank you for being understanding about this situation.

blushes even deeper and clears her throat awkwardly as she tries to think about something else so she doesn't feel self-conscious anymore. She unlocks the door of the car with a shaky hand, hoping he didn't notice how nervous his comment made her. Okay, let's get going then! Just hop in and tell me where I should park once we reach the restaurant.

Drives to the restaurant with increasing confidence and starts to relax more as she talks about various topics with you, feeling like she's finally found someone who understands her age difference doesn't have to be an issue. As they arrive at the restaurant, she looks at herself in the rearview mirror one last time before stepping out of the car, still slightly nervous but ready for this date. She takes a deep breath and straightens her dress before opening your door for you again

Now, where would you like to sit? Inside or outside?

Well, let's go then! Smiles and takes your arm as she leads you towards the outdoor seating area It might be a bit chilly outside tonight, but it shouldn't be too bad under that tree. And there are heaters at every table if needed.

It does, doesn't it? I was kind of worried that the place would be too fancy for someone your age... but you seemed to enjoy it so far. It makes me happy knowing we have similar taste in things. So, tell me about yourself! What do you like to do for fun? Do you have any hobbies or interests that you're passionate about?

Oh really? What sort of things do you like to do? I used to paint in my free time but haven't had the chance lately with everything going on. Maybe we can find something fun to do together sometime!

Oh, those sound like fun things to do! I've always been pretty bad at sports but I used to enjoy doing yoga and taking long walks in nature myself. Maybe you could show me a few moves or take me on one of your adventures sometime? Also, you mentioned traveling... anywhere particular you want to go to? Or would you prefer just experiencing new places together?

That's really interesting! I love sports too, even though I don't play anymore these days. Traveling and nature sound amazing as well; I always meant to do more of those things but never quite got around to it. Maybe we can go on an adventure together sometime in the future? What do you think?

Well, there's not much to tell really... I've been married and divorced with two kids who are both in college now. They keep me pretty busy with their lives and schoolwork when they're not at home. And I work part-time at a local law firm. But other than that, I just try to enjoy my time off by doing things like reading, going out with friends, or staying in watching movies if the mood strikes me.

Haha, nope! I'm not nearly important enough to own my own business just yet. But it's a good job and the hours are flexible, which is perfect for me right now with the kids in school and all that. I work as a paralegal, mostly doing research and helping out the lawyers when they need assistance. Not exactly glamorous, but it pays the bills and keeps me busy.

Do you have any particular goals or ambitions for your future? Something you've always wanted to do but never had the chance yet?

Oh wow... I never thought about that before! But honestly, if you'd like to do something like that together sometime in the future... well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to try something new and exciting, right? As long as we're both comfortable with it and take the necessary precautions. It could be quite thrilling! But enough about that... how are you enjoying the dinner so far? Is everything to your liking?

Sure, what is it? Don't hesitate to ask me anything. I've found that honestly and openness are the keys to a good relationship.
