Sometimes you get to know a person în time and to start to like her/him and then you don't notice her/his low parts anymore
Her crush was based on how her daughter portrayed me to her. Plus, it seems that people these days can be pretty darn sneaky while using cell phone cameras - so she did know what I looked like before I met her.


Great! Weren't you saying you need more of a friend than of a lover?
That part is good... as long as I can guide her in that direction.


No! No! No! No! No!
It's only YOUR fault cos you deluded yourself that the young girl could have a crush on you. That's what all ( well. most of ) not so young men think :
It seems that I wasn't so delusional. The mother (in addition to the co-worker) also had a concern that the daughter had a crush on me. If you're flirty, brush up against me as you walk by me, talk about me to your girlfriends at work, send me texts late into the evening, etc., it was safe to assume that something was going on in somebody's head - and it wasn't mine. But I'm honestly glad that she came to her senses. See, I've been down that road before (a woman who wasn't forthcoming about her marital situation) and I just don't play that game. Don't care how hot, pretty or whatever the girl happens to be. I'm not into that sort of dishonesty and potential drama.

Best case: I can establish a friendship with the mom. She really is a nice person. But it will not end well if we go down that road to romance. Trust me on that one. My last girlfriend (also quite a bit younger than me ) decided to press me on the topic of marriage and kids and I ended that one too. This lady won't want (more) kids, but once there's romance, it just makes the inevitable end more unpleasant.
