He was in his early 40s.
I politely waited for him to finish listing the international charity projects he was involved in before asking what age range he preferred to date. "You know, there are some very mature 18-year-olds."
I just couldn't help but stare at the ones in his photos. They looked young enough to be his daughters. Pass!
