I went on my first real date Friday night. It was not with someone I met here but he is 35 (looks a lot younger though) and I am 44. We had a very nice time but I came accross something interesting. He insists that I am not a cougar because although I am hot (his words not mine) and am attracted to younger men, cougars are only interested in casual sex. He was telling me this as a compliment, I believe, but I am now confused not as to whether or not I am really a cougar. I don't consider cougar to be a deragatory term but I think some people do.

My date also kept reminding me that he is not THAT much younger than me. It was like he wanted to separate himself from the cougar chasers that are only looking for one thing.

Funny thing: we both got carded. I think the watress was just trying to be nice to me by carding me too because she said she has to card anyone that looks younger than 27.
