What makes you a "cougar"....
39
Tue, 10-23-2007 - 10:34am

Is it pursuing a man who is younger than you or being over 35 and pursuing a man you are interested in......


Let me make this as short as possible. There is this "sexy chocolate" man that works with me........


Needless to say, I am seriously "feigning" for him. So, I wrote him a letter just asking to get to know him better outside of work and that we could keep things discrete and professional at work.....


He hasn't responded yet, but it dawned on me that I may be exhibiting "cougar" behavior......


What do you all think, was I too forward?? He has an awesome personality and frankly is very kind and helpful to me in my classroom........


Maybe I am just so "needy" that I latched on to the first guy who showed me interest but I am not getting any younger and he's the first guy in a long time who thinks and acts on my level......


Did I mention we are one day apart in age?? I don't know, maybe I just need to take my butt home and leave him alone, I mean he could reject me,which is fine, no harm, no foul..........


Let me know what you think?? Am

He said he read it and was very flattered!! He said he would discuss it with me later, which will probably be a rejection, but hey I tried.....


Frankly,

Huh, funny I never thought of it as derogatory...I thought of it simply as a "hot" (I know, I know, the word) older woman who can get attractive younger men.

Exactly I didn't either but you and I are from the same area and up here it's not considered a deragatory term.
