Age vs. Maturity


I had an argument with a 40something who felt it was wrong to prevent him from speaking however he wanted whenever. To bring the point home he told our waitress that I enjoy illicit substances and asked where we might procure some. I freely admit covering his mouth with my hand and requesting the check. He left the restaurant in abruptly and has refused all contact. At what point does maturity eclipse age in men such that freedom is not the exercise of all things impermissible, but the calculated exercise of the permissible and discretion for everything else

joking around can be quite fun...but it needs to be appropriate.

Well, your reaction was appropriate, especially if he is not aware that the solicitation of "illicit" substances can put you in a bad situation. He should have respected or at least asked if you wanted her to ask...discretely, of course. Otherwise, his take on "being a take charge man" was actually an exercise in immaturity. Be glad he has not responded...you might be in a worse spot. My two and a half cents!
