It was supposed to be just another business dinner, but when I walked into the restaurant, all eyes were on me. At 56, I had learned how to command a room without saying a word. But one pair of eyes stayed on me longer than the others.
As the evening went on, I found myself in a deep conversation with a man 15 years younger. His attention never wavered, and as the night progressed, it became clear that he was mesmerized by more than just my appearance. He admired my experiences, my confidence, and the way I spoke with such conviction. By the end of the night, he admitted that he had never been so intrigued by a woman before, and I could tell this was the beginning of something unexpected and exciting.
