One day, my friend convinced me to go to a party that she claimed was “going to change my life.” It turns out the party was full of older people, a neon-lit bingo hall, and a DJ who couldn’t hear well, so he always played the music really loud, but that didn’t stop anyone.

Suddenly, I saw a man in an impeccable suit, with a cane that looked more like a style accessory than a necessity. He walked with an elegance that screamed “experience” from miles away. My friend, who had already had a couple of glasses of wine, whispered to me, “That’s Don A….. They say he was quite the hunk in his day, and he still has quite a spark left!”

I don’t know if it was the flashing lights or the 70s music playing in the background, but Don A….. and I ended up dancing a cha-cha that I never dreamed of doing in my wildest dreams. He moved with such grace that it seemed like he was floating on the ground. While I tried my best not to step on his toes, he looked at me with a mischievous smile and said: “Don’t worry, girl, practice makes perfect.”

After a few minutes, with the confidence that only years give and the knowledge that opportunities are not wasted, Don A gave me a flirtatious look and said: “I still have energy for more, do you want to find out how many?” I, half joking, half serious, replied: “Of course, Don A...! Let’s see what experience is made of.”

What followed was a series of comical situations: we went into the wrong room in his house, where we ended up in the room full of memories from his youth, we stumbled upon his collection of vinyl records and, to top it off, his dog—a bulldog with a sour face—looked at us as if to say: “Again? You’re not up to this kind of thing anymore.”

But the best of all was that, between laughter and surreal moments, I discovered that, indeed, experience counts, and how! Despite the years, Don A knew exactly how to make a woman feel special, with a touch of gallantry and that calm that only comes with age. It was as if all the accumulated wisdom was concentrated in every gesture and word.

In the end, as we laughed at what was glorious chaos, I realized that I had lived the best experience I could have imagined. Not only because of what happened, but because sometimes the magic is in surrendering to the moment without expectations, letting yourself be carried away by someone who knows how to enjoy life and, above all, laughing at the whole process. Don A.... not only gave me an unforgettable night, he gave me the master class on how to live in style and without stress!
