I'm a sixty two year old widow and 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: I live in the great City of Chicago. Yes, I 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: was married for thirty four years to a wonderful man 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: and he died three years ago. Since then, I have 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: secretly fallen in love with my thirty year old godson. 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: I know I should be ashamed of myself, but I'm not. 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: When my husband first got sick, my godson is the 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: only person that would check on me and make sure 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: I ate and was getting some rest. He started taking 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: me out to dinner once a month to get me 20 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: out of the house, and that's when I found out 21 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: he has an old soul and we love the same music. 22 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: After my husband passed, he would stay overnight so I 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: had some company and we watch old movies together. His 24 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: father and I are close friends, and he was raised 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: solely by his father after his parents divorced. His father 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: has had a crush on me for years, so he'd 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: die if he knew it's his son I'm after, not him. 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: My godson was visiting recently and I was telling him 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: about a house burglary on my street, and he told 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: me he didn't like me being in my big house alone, 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: so I suggested he moved in with me instead of 32 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: paying for a two bedroom apartment. So he moved in 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: a week ago. He moved in a week ago, and 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: I am plotting on how to get him out of 35 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: the guest room and into my bedroom. I'm still in 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: great shape and look a lot like Jada Pinkett, so 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: he's always complimenting me on my radiant skin or my 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: great cooking. I get so hot and bothered when he 39 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: walks around in his tank tops that I've fondled myself 40 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: a few times after he's left the room. I need 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: to make my move before I run out of time 42 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: and he finds a girlfriend. We talk openly about his 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: love life, and I know he's looking for his soul mate. 44 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I thought about seducing him, but is that the best way? 45 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: How do I get this man? Okay? Come on, I mean, 46 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: you really haven't thought this thing through. Just because someone 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: treats you well and they looks after you, and you know, 48 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: they take you out to dinner, they care about you, 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean they're in love with you, or they 50 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: want you or they want to do you. Okay. It 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you're fantasizing about this man. And that's 52 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: where it needs to stay in your head, in your mind. 53 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: He hasn't tried to hit on you or sleep with 54 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: you or any of that. You said. He was raised 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: well by a father who's really the one who likes you. 56 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: To me, this just sounds like a case of a cougar, 57 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: just cougar lust. You're sixty two, you said, and you 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: should know the difference between real love when someone wants you, 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: and crushing and salivating over a fine, sexy young man. 60 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: If that's all it is, have your fun imagining what 61 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: it would be like and go on about your business. 62 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: Leave it there and don't expect anything else from him. 63 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this man is only thirty one years old. 64 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: He's going to want a family one day. He's gonna 65 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: want kids, starting with a girlfriend who he'll probably be 66 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: bringing into your home now for sleepovers at some point. 67 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: And it might not just be one girl. If he's 68 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: as fine as you say he is, he might have 69 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: a parade of women coming through. You don't know. You're 70 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: not gonna like that at all. So I just say, 71 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: please calm yourself down, use your head, don't get into 72 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: any mess, because this is gonna be really messy if 73 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: you start this, which is you know what this could 74 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: turn out to be if you carry out your crazy 75 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: plan to seduce him. Don't do that. Ultimately, you don't 76 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: want to have sex with him or anything like that. 77 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: I think he's looking at you as the mom he 78 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: never had because he was raised by his father. He's 79 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: looking at you like his mom. Okay, not his boo. 80 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: All right, get that out your mind, Steve.
