I feel quite old after a recent little event. As I don't drive at the moment my usual method of transport is the bus & fairly often when I'm waiting at the bus stop, I get people strike up a conversation with me (I obviously must have that vibe because it never happens to my sister).
A few days ago I was waiting for the bus to come along as usual when this boy came & sat next to me. And started chatting me up. All well & good except he was all of 16 years old!
He was actually really sweet & well mannered & was chatting about general stuff & then started flirting. And then, amongst other conversation, he asked me how old I was so I told him.
He didn't believe me.
He thought I was about 17 & more or less said I was fibbing!!!
Apparently he didn't mind if I was older than him but according to him, I definitely did not look 23 & he didn't believe I was that age.
As if it's not bad enough being chatted up by a boy younger than your own brother, he then thinks I'm several years younger than I actually am!
I was stunned & embarrassed in equal measure. Lol.
I have only told two friends as everyone else would laugh their heads off if they found out!

Doesn't surprise me at all. I always said that you look about 16! (Honest!)
Feel complimented by it hon... believe me it doesn't go on for ever!
Clearly dickiebo's seen something the rest of us haven't...but I have a huge weakness for redheads anyway (did I tell you I have a red-headed daughter?) and will take it on trust that you look altogether charming, youthful and adorable (creep creep!).
I had a similar 'i'm old' moment recently, we were driving down to the beach recently and my 11 year old niece starts humming the A-Team tune then broke out into "1...1...8....118..1..1..8.118" so I asked her why was singing that instead of the A-Team and she just said "who are they? That's just the 118 advert tune"
Blasphemy.
Dickie. You have no idea what I look like!
Unless you have a crystal ball :o)
Cogi, it was a compliment I guess but I did feel old...
Hmm. Youthful maybe but not sure about charming & adorable! :o)
MCM, Lol! I hate the bloomin' 118 adverts but I'm afraid I only know of the A-Team from nostalgic TV documentaries. So er, sorry for making you feel a bit older!
But I've just looked on Wiki & according to them, I was 2 when the last episode was aired so not a total surprise that I don't remember it.
I know the advert trend I do hate. DFS using some of my favourite songs on their rubbish adverts. It should be made illegal!
Spoilsport!
Yep! And proud of it! :-P
