Why is our hero hitting on a 68-year old woman? If you saw the woman I based the character Jill on, you'd know why. Facebook allowed me a peak inside her high school reunion, and "Jill" looked exactly as described, well preserved. I could hardly believe it myself. But it wasn't just that. Dennis, our hero, older, wiser and more confident than he was as a teen, wanted some kind of reconciliation, a make-up for Jill's rejection all those years ago. He got that. Remember, he was up there in age himself and realistic enough to know that most hot younger woman, unless you're a rock star (in the generic sense), don't want much to do with a man old enough to be their dad or grand-dad.
Since he is a “buff” 68 year old why is he hitting on a 68 year woman. Women of her age have fragile bones. If they have sex, he will probably break a few of her bones. Our hero should be hitting on 50 year olds from the classes of the 1980’s.
Why would he think that having sex with a 68 year old girl who turned him away 50 years ago would be great? She would be all wrinkles!
I love 💕 these senior stories where true love is discovered. Now I want to believe that they lived happily ever after.
Thanks
Sweet and comfortable story. One never knows what the future holds. Thanks for sharing.
My 50th is tomorrow, so many years, joyful and regrettable.
I love happy endings!
Senior romance seems to be humorous at first, but then the reality is most couples start having the "death do us part" kick in and a genuine concern of loneliness and loss of intimacy, depression and possible despair begin. It is nice they aren't wasting time with youthful indecision and angst. They both realize that their relationship can go better now that a lifetime of experiences has prepared them for this second chance.
I graduated from a Maryland high school in the 70's. Our 50th reunion will arrive soon. This gives me some hope. I appreciate it!
