I hadn't had chance to sit down and write about this experience, but a couple of weekends ago there was another cosplay event in my city – of course, I made my mind up to attend, and of course I posted up an ad online seeing if anyone would like me to show off for them to see what kind of response I got.
Needless to say I received loads of responses – most went straight in the bin, others developed into conversations that petered off, some turned into quite heated discussion, but one man ultimately won out. He was exactly 60, very polite, really curious about cosplay and everything is entailed, and he walked the line between being a normal, friendly guy and one with clear desires for a girl my age perfectly. After my other recent experiences with older men, the idea of taking things further and going with someone older still got me excited from the outset, and our conversations in the days building up to the event only accentuated that.
