Well, I'll tell ya. She works where I get my haircut. One day I called to make a appointment and the girl who normally cuts my hair was off for the week. I asked who they would then recommend and they said "Jeane." Not knowing who "Jeane" was (even though I'd seen her before but hadn't met) I said okay. When I first met her I was not only taken by her beauty but also by her maturity. No doubt in my mind that this 25 year old was an old soul. Even though I'm a very shy with women I was amazed at how easy it was for me to talk to her. There was an instant connection because the conversation just flowed from the both of us like we'd known each other for years.
In time I'd go for another haircut with my usual girl and Jeane would be right there evertime saying hello....actually, going out of her way to do so and striking up a conversation with me. Well, in time it was obvious from the way she looked at me and from her talk that she was interested. Hey, I did nothing to encourage this either and to be honest, I was totally stumped by this. I'm a blue collar worker, I'm not rich, I don't drive a fancy car, I'm just a very average looking guy and she knew all of this.
I never got a bad vibe from her....but it just didn't seem right. Old soul or not and even though there was a connection I kept thinking the bottom line is that she's still 30 years younger than me. She's young, she's got her whole life ahead of her and she deserves to be with someone that's her equal. Besides, here I am 4 years later with arthritis in my lower back and my knees are giving me a lot of grief. She's now 29 and is still raring to go with life. She doesn't need some guy who's physically hurting to drag her down. She deserves better.
No regret's on my part either. But I am still amazed that someone like that would even give me a second look. I'll admit, it was nice.
