I offered to drop him home.
We had been walking - my favourite local wander along the Thames and past the lock, the tunnel of greenery for relief from sun (or wind) and a fence or two to test agility - and it was only as we approached the car park that he told me he didn't drive.
It is not that i shy away from younger men. Two of my recent lovers have been even younger than he is, and they had never made me feel anything but soft warm putty in their hands but somehow this time i feel as if i am giving a lift to my babysitter.
I stopped on the double yellow line on the high street of my local market town, as he indicated. It is noon, with townsfolk on the move, seeking lunch.
"Can i kiss you?" he asked.
I offered him my cheek but he ducked under my nose and skimmed his lips across mine. The memory of the moisture still prickles on my skin.
"I really like you" he said, "can i kiss you again?"
I tried not to rear back too hard.
"I must go" I said, resisting the urge to scrub my mouth with the back of my sleeve, at least until i pulled away from the kerb.

Is it ok that I might have snickered a little here...?
i think it is ok to snigger at my date-life, Os .. better than weeping :)
I can't drive either...
So young that he doesn't drive? Cradle-robber! ;-p
Kind of like the hapless female cat in the Pepé Le Pew --> http://www.gifmania.us/Looney-Tunes/Pepe-le-pew/_XXLmisc1.gif
Oh gosh, been there!
Awkward...
Clumsy... (on his part)
Funny...
Sorry, I sniggered too..
Oh lord. I didn't snigger, snicker, or indeed mars bar. I just turned myself inside out with one almighty cringe.
It reads to me that the poor lad had been groomed by someone much older in order to try and get on the gravy train, better to find out sooner than later. The older man is a has been and has been punching above his intellectual weight for far too long.
I would like to think that it would be a good if we met, at the start of AG? and then decide where to stroll?
A proper kiss from a young man? Why not! Of course you might have to get another babysitter.
Shep - i really didn't mind about the driving.
Hubman - only 4 years younger, although i think he lied .. i suspect he was younger than he claimed.
Lady Pants - the unwanted kiss? yeh.
Ceeej - it was broad daylight .. on the high street .. outside my solicitor's office.
Shane - i'm still doing the same

Anon / Ad / OSC (i can't keep up) - i rather enjoy the older man, now and then.
AG?
Charlene - there is nothing wrong with a proper kiss, oh indeedy.
I ain't sayin' nuffin as long you're gettin' good muffin'.
Sent an email to your gmail.
OSC - i was always told to never talk to strangers .. i don't believe we know each other, or am i wrong?
Um.. . our paths may have crossed altho' not at the same time or pace. Have you ever heckled someone whilst singing on a stage?
No, i haven't. I think perhaps you are thinking of someone else.
OSC is quite sufficiet, BTW.
There is chronological youth, and straight-up immaturity. One is much easier to overlook, the other is my last date, encapsulated.
Oooh...you're getting all sorts of weirdos on here now, aren't you? Or are they one in the same?
