If I meet a girl...

If I meet a girl tomorrow...

And we date for a year, I'll be 33.

Say we have a minimum six-month engagement, I'll be nearing 34.

If we have a child within 18 months of marriage, I'll be 35.

(Granted, these time frames may be a little rushed, but it's all for example's sake.)

That means when my firstborn graduates high school, I'll be 53. Ugh.

And all this is contingent on me meeting a girl tomorrow.

Not just a girl... THE girl.

I better get to work.

"You walk before me. Lord knows I can't follow. You walk behind me, and I don't think I can lead. You walk around me. Please don't walk around me, cos you know how dizzy I get..."

  1. You see, this is why I only go out with girls now who have kids already.

    Like this one girl I'm casually seeing, (very casually, so casually in fact, she may not realize it) when her daughter graduates hs, I'll be 41. That's not too bad.

  5. What's wrong with being 53 when your kid starts college? My parents were in their 50's when I graduated high school and started college and sure my dad waited to retire until I was almost out...oh, okay. I see your point. ;-)

    Seriously though, you'll be okay. Don't rush anything for these reasons.

    Now, if you start growing really weird hairs on odd body parts soon, then - we'll I'd start worrying if I were you. J/K :-)

  6. Anonymous: Did you just propose to me?

    Anonymous #2: Yes, it does.

    Cindy: And just think, that's only the firstborn. If we have 3 kids, three years apart... eh, well, anyway. I think I read the other day that 50 is the new 40.

    And too late on the weird hairs :-)

  9. Well, yes, I think at some point I would like to be married. Single is fine for now, but eventually, yes.
