Apparently I attract Middle Eastern men well into their 50s.
I stopped by a convenience store on my way home from work yesterday, and as the cashier made his way to the front so I could pay, I observed that he was about twice my age but had kept himself up nicely. He had bright eyes, fluid movements and a neatly trimmed beard.
I was so struck by his attractiveness despite his age – this man was definitely a Silver Fox – that I had to re-engage when he asked me, “Do you have a CVS card?”
I had left mine at home, but cashiers can usually look up your member ID using a phone number, so I asked, “Can I give you my phone number?”
He looked up from the register keypad and asked with a twinkle in his eye, “So that I can call you?”
Taken completely aback, I threw my head back with full-throttled, genuine laughter. He started chuckling, too, almost shy now. “Do you use that line a lot?” I teased him with a grin.
He raised his eyebrows and shook his head, “No, never before. I am surprised at myself! I usually say to customers, ‘Sorry, but I am married.'”
We laughed, I swiped my credit card, and he handed me the receipt with a wink and, “Thanks for the joke.”
Oh, Mirza, you ol’ rascal. You’ve still got it.

Now that is funny. Dude has game for a guy that is 50’s and married. More than I ever had when I was half his age and had way more hair.

Whatever, Bitter Ben. You’ve totally got game. I’ve never seen you in person, but personality goes a long way, and as far as I’m concerned, you’re a Silver-tongued Fox!!!

Trust me. I never had game. I was always so scared to ask out girls because the introvert in me would run all the scenarios in my mine of how she would reject me before I even asked. Though when it came to emailing or chatting (that was a thing back when I was dating) I usually was pretty clever.
