Twentysomethings vs. Thirtysomethings

I’m over 30 myself, but I have friends who are a full decade younger and I keep noticing differences in our mental processes. I am so glad I have their stage already behind me! 

(I came up with this post sitting in a coffee shop, thank God I had NY Times with me)

I met a guy! He’s amazing! He’s so funny, inteligent, we are into the same things! You know we even like the same movies?

30

I met a guy. Really! He seems cool, but we will see. I hope he hasn’t got a girlfriend or a wife already.

Damn, he’s been silent for a couple of days. He must be super busy, he has so much work! I have no idea how he does it. Poor thing. Maybe I will text him first?

30

Hmm, he hasn’t texted for a few days. I wonder who is he seeing instead of me…

You won’t believe it, he texted again! We weren’t in touch for a few months now! I knew he wouldn’t forget me. I knew there was something magical happening between us.

You won’t believe it! The asshole is writing me again! He kept silent for a few months and now this, all of a sudden! I bet he got dumped and he’s looking to get laid. 

20

He’s writing every day. I am so happy he cares! We can’t meet now, ‘cause, you know, he’s working on this huge project… It takes up all his evenings.

30

He writes almost every day, but we are not able to meet for over a month. Supposedly he’s working on a huge project that takes up all his evenings… Right. I think we’re finished here. 

20

We have been meeting for several months. He told me he went on several other dates, but it wasn’t anything serious. It’s me he’s really into. I know we have this special connection. I can feel it!

30

Can you imagine the son of a bitch actually dated other women all that time? For fuck’s sake…
