A few months ago I [20M] got a job washing dishes at a small local Thai restaurant. I’m in college, and after being unemployed for a few months before, I was grateful to get this job because I could continue paying my bills without taking out more student loans. One thing that made this job different from previous ones is that I’m the youngest employee by far and the only American. All of my coworkers are in their 40s or older and mostly women. I actually liked this because there’s little/no drama, everyone works hard, and I’m starting to pick up the Thai language. I didn’t mind being the “resident young person”. Little did I know however that I would come to enjoy it for a surprising reason.
I never thought I was into older women, but the women I work with are truly beautiful, and as I spent more time getting to know their unique personalities I developed little crushes on a few of them. Most are married and so I never overtly flirt with them, but I’d give them little complements here and there and they’d tell me that I am hardworking and a handsome young man. However, one started to take a particular interest in me.
