Is 30 Too Young?

So here I am.  I'm normally very shy with guys in person, unless I've had several drinks.  Last weekend, I had several.  My girlfriends and I were checking out the new guy and were all admiring how cute he was.  I put the flirt on pretty strong and was dared by the end of the night to get his number.  I've never asked for a number before from a guy.  Ever.  So I approach him, and just ask the basic questions.  He denied having a wife or girlfriend.  SO I explain I was dared to get his number because I had been checking him out all night.  He already had it written down with the intention of giving it to me later.  I put it in my phone.  Promised to call him the next day and didn't.

I finally got the nerve to text him Monday.  We ended up talking on the phone briefly Monday night as I was trying to help him with a computer issue.  I'm so not a computer geek.  Nothing I told him to try worked.  Which actually made me feel better because I am NOT a computer geek.

I learned on Tuesday he is only 30 years old.  When he told me his kids' ages of two and four, I had to ask.  He never asked how old I was so I didn't tell him.  I didn't hear from him on Thursday, but he called me Friday morning.  He was very excited to tell me about his new lights he bought for his show. 

Saturday, he told me to come see him Saturday night.  I arrived and he had a girl sitting with him, so I bypassed him and sent him a text that said I'd come say hi, but he had company.  He made sure to answer back that she was just a friend.  That indicates to me that he gets that I'm interested in him romantically.  When my friends I was sitting with decided to leave, he told me to come sit with him.  He is the karaoke DJ, so I knew he was working.  He was a lot of fun and we did get to talk a little bit.  As he worked the room, I did too.  I was definitely the hottie of the bar last night and I was eating up the attention from my male friends.  I paid attention to my 30 year old when I could and even danced with him at one point in time. 

Then today, I hear nothing.  Not a single word.  Now I'm over analyzing things.  First of all, I know he's likely too young for me to be messing with.  I'm not looking for a relationship.  I want a little more than a hookup.  I'm just trying to get back into this whole dating thing.  I don't want to play games.  What's too much and not enough?  I just want someone fun to hang out with, talk to, and take care of my sexual needs.  I am not an insecure person, usually, but I definitely have my moments. I don't know what I'm doing trying this dating or guy thing.  Was it too much letting him know he wasn't the only guy checking me out last night?  Should I have stayed in my chair?  Screw that!  That's not me.  I am a social creature who craves, loves, and wants all the attention I can get and it's guilt free now that I am single!  

So I think I have figured this out. If he calls, he calls.  If he doesn't, he loses.  But if he does call, I'm going to point blank ask him if he's interested because I'm getting mixed signals.  I have needs that I want him to tend to.  I want to sample this younger man and see if I am remotely able to keep up with him.  I am so out of my element, as I was married for 14 years and with my ex for 18 years. I was a baby then.  So tell me ladies, am I doing this right?

Oh yeah, I will also add that he has a full time job as a firefighter/medic!  That's super hot to me!  HA!
