If he's a lot younger, he might be dating you to get to your toys

[Den82]

Funny to see a female stressing if a guy will except her collecting toys.

I'd imagine ALL men here dream of finding a girl into them.

Sounds like there's a Seinfeld episode in there somewhere...

Be careful Karen. Dating someone doesn't make them your priest. You don't have to tell all or reveal all. Just enjoy the evening and see if the chemistry works. If it doesn't, move forward. Don't let it be more than it needs to be. Just have fun. But keep those things most sacred to you out of his reach (and sight). Like anything important or private, he needs to earn his way to gain access to those levels. Trust is the first big hurdle. Don't give it to him. Your too special!

... and if he say's he wants to show you his Venus Space Probe tell him thanks but no thanks

Quote from the new boyfriend:
"Wow, that is not what I was thinking when you mentioned your 'toy collection'."

Wait a minute I thought I was your Date?

[clemso]

Good luck Karen, have a great time. Any man should be well pleased to see the mother of all SMDM collections and a library of horror flicks, luck boy indeed

love that episode

[mazinz]

Good luck. Like yourself I too am getting back into things after being alone for a long while. In my case I am having a whole lifestyle change. At any rate, if you have some toys around the house that is fine. I was surprised that one girl I brought over it did not really bother her at all. However if you have one main toyroom, keep that closed for now until you feel a bit more comfortable with the person. In my case she still has yet to see that room

but really be proud of what you are into and if the other person does not like it then fuc*'em!! Don't get down on yourself because they have a problem with it

[wolfie]

No Karen i did not see you playing with your dolls again.

[toys2cool]

No Karen i did not see you playing with your dolls again.

KNOCK NEXT TIME!! KNOCK!!

[Brown Bear]

NOW you tell us you're single.

[livnxxxl]

NOW you tell us you're single.

Yeah really! I did not even know that she was available. I must have missed that Marketplace ad somehow.

Seriously though Karen best wishes with your date. Dating someone younger these days is not that uncommon at all any more. In fact it has become more and more acceptable for most (maybe not all) people.

Enjoy your date and I hope that all works out well for you and the lucky fellow.
