At "Our Age"

Unless you are at least ten years younger than I am, saying 'our age' to me in conversation is a sure way to keep me away from you.

Yesterday yet another man pursuing me attempted to woo me with food.  My whole marriage all we did was eat together - - no vacations, children, common interests, fun, nothing, just dinner.  As a result, I almost have PTSD about eating with another man.  We may as well be crawling into a casket together.  

He tried to make me taste his salsa sauce right in front of him.  I didn't want to.  In fact just taking it from him was me being polite.  He gave me chips to dip.  When that didn't force me to try it he handed me a spoon.  I blamed my unwillingness to try it on my teeth (I've been having alot of work done lately and it was a convenient excuse.). He basically ignored that.  I went into greater detail about my teeth.  That is when he said, "Teeth become a problem at  o u r   a g e."  He's probably a bit older than I am.  It was at that point when I wanted to speak directly to his pants in baby talk and say, "Guess who's never going to see me naked?  YOU won't!  Yes, you!!  Never, never, never."
