She informed me that she canceled her plans with a guy she had been seeing recently.
“We aren’t dating or anything, he’s like 40 and recently divorced.” She said. She was in her early 20s and as our conversation went on it was clear that she was delighted by the fact that she had an “older man” so interested in her.
I live in an area with a drive in movie theater and I realize now a drive in movie theater is a rare thing in our modern times. I’ve come to be extremely appreciative of the drive in theater and the memories I have sitting in lawn chairs with my friends and enjoying a double feature.
This wasn’t one of those “hang out with friends” kind of nights. This was a first date with an attractive young woman who I had been talking to for a week or two and canceled plans with another guy because she “had never been to a drive in movie before and always wanted to go to one.”
I suggested we take her SUV because it had ample room in the back to lay down and truly appreciate the cinematic experience that makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time to the 1950’s.
