[ - ] Had dinner with a work colleague who is impossibly cute. He's Iranian, 50-ish, great shape, boyish grin, beautiful salt-and-pepper wavy hair, pale amber eyes. We are old friends and work together about 1x a year (he lives in PA). We joke about our "dates" (we are both married). But boy, after 2 hours of staring into his eyes, I could be convinced to take the night off, if you know what I mean. 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More
