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.

You hesitantly enter the room, feeling like you're intruding on someone else's life. You force a small smile onto your face as you see him standing there waiting for you. He seems nice enough... you hope this won't be too awkward or embarrassing for either of you.

"Hi..." is all you can muster as the nervousness begins to creep back in again. It's been a long time since anyone saw you on a date, and now here you are with someone younger than your own children...

Ugh...you hope that was at least coherent. "So..." you begin, awkwardly. "What do you want to do? Go out for dinner or something?"

Shopping...that sounds like fun actually. What did you have in mind? Just window shopping or something more specific? You decide to wait and see what he says next, hoping that this might actually go okay after all.

"Well..." you say thoughtfully, looking around the room. "I wouldn't mind going to that new mall downtown. They have some really nice shops there." You take a small step closer to him, hoping that he might share your enthusiasm for the idea.

You smile at him hopefully, waiting to see what he says. Even though this whole situation is pretty embarrassing and nerve-wracking for you, it's nice to feel wanted by someone. Maybe you could make a go of this after all?
