Are you dating an older fellow or thinking about dipping your toes into that more mature water? Well, my dears, you've come to the right place. I'm dating an older man, you know. Oh yes, it's quite thrilling.

Maybe just one shot of whiskey instead of seven of vodka. We can still drink people under the table, we just don't want to do it at some crappy, crowded dive bar.
