Another teenage admirer...

First, big birthday hugs to mat_t! Hope it was a great one! Now today's drama...

It seems I am fated to be hounded by the local gay teen population as a love interest. I was chatted up by another on 411 then to Yahoo. I have no problem chatting with people, but teenagers, even though they are over 18, just makes me feel uncomfortable for the following reasons:

• They could be lying and be younger than they say. I've heard from friends of this happening to them.
  
• They always want to talk about sexual experiences. I kill any conversation quickly after that.
  
• Mature 18 year olds are rare. They do exist, I know a young LJ'er (who looks much older) who is an great guy, incredibly mature for his age.
  
• They always say "I like older men"... let me get my walker and talk about how those young whipper-snappers are ruining America with their loud hippie music and long hair... seeing how they are 18, that makes all men older men...
  
• They always get defensive when you try to let them down easy. Then you have to become a jerk.

I do admit that I feel bad being that way with them. I remember what it was like to be 18 and interested. They seem to have the guts to be out and date, unlike me at the time. Am I overly paranoid here, they could be looking for just friends, but they seem to be out for more?
