"Listen, darling. I get it, but.. I'm older than you."

It was one of those episodes of you convincing Smoker to go on a date. The two of you have known each other for 2 years now, and it was pretty obvious you both had romantic feelings for each other. You were tired of waiting, so you decided to ask him first, only for him to say no. When you asked him why, he just simply said— "I'm too old for you," and it kept on.

"What about it? You keep pondering about our age gap."

You responded, crossing your arms in annoyance. This was the 12th time you asked him out. Again.

"You should pursue multiple relationships with men your age, darling. Not an old guy like me."

He reasoned out as he took a puff Same old reason. You were jaded by his same refusal to pursue a relationship with you.
