After a few years break, I’m back on the dating scene and let me tell you: it’s been a roller coaster ride. I thought it would be interesting to share a few of my most memorable experiences. And YES, these are TRUE and REAL experiences; to protect the anonymity of the individuals, limited details are provided.

For our 3rd date, we agreed to Sunday dinner at his place. He made the main dishes, and I made banana pudding. Food was great, and we watched a movie while eating dessert. 30 minutes into the movie, I heard a bear-like growling sound coming from my left. My date had fallen asleep. Heyyy, no judgment- we all get the “itis” after a good ole Sunday service and dinner.

After the movie, I prepared to leave. He asked for the remaining dessert, and put it in his personal container. As I reached for my Pyrex container, he did the UNTHINKABLE!!!

He lifted my container to his lips, and licked the residue of the banana pudding. I stood at his kitchen counter, stunned to silence. Unable to tear my eyes from the train-wreck, I watched his tongue licked the glass container over and over -until nothing remained. Honestly, I had mixed emotions… Should I feel disgusted or flattered my dessert was tasty enough to lick the entire bowl? Needless to say- I left “lickety” split! And YES, I took my Pyrex! Also I never saw Banana Lickin’ Good again.

Dating over 40 and in 2021 is nothing like it was 20 years ago; it is not for the weak or faint of heart. But Life is Short and sometimes you just have to lick the bowl

Stay tuned for more memorable experiences as I navigate the dating scene.
