"Alejandra me estas preocupando no sales y solo te la pasas en la casa. Sal a distraerte te la pasas leyendo libros todo el día." her mother Maria scolded her daughter.

English translation: (Alejandra your worry me you don't go out and are always at home. Go out distract yourself you only read books all day.)

Alejandra who was sitting in the living room couch placed her hand on her mom's hand and smiled "Mami siempre me dices eso, sabes que ami no me gusta salir. Y si salgo solo es porque necesito algo."

English translation: (Mom you always say the same thing you know I don't like to go out. And if I do go out it's because I need something.)

Maria sighed "Vamos a la tienda arréglate." Alejandra changed her comfortable shorts into jeans, a white shirt. and black sandals.

English translation: (Let's go to the store get ready.)

Alejandra was in the passenger seat when she saw a handsome man she eagerly tapped her mother's shoulder "Ma mira apoco no esta guapo."

English translation: (Look mom isn't he handsome.)

Maria turned to look at the man her daughter pointed out "Ah si el muchacho de la camisa roja?" Alejandra furrowed her eyebrows and pouted her lips "No mama el señor de camisa azul con jeans."

English translation: Maria- (Ah yes the young man in the red shirt?)

Alejandra- (No mom the man with the blue shirt and jeans.)

(The man Alejandra was attracted to.)

Maria remained silent looking at the man her daughter pointed out "Alejandra ese podría ser tu padre." Alejandra leaned on her seat "Hay ma pero no lo es. Ami me gustan los hombres mayores que yo ami no me gustan los que tienen mi edad."

English translation: Maria- (Alejandra that man could be your father.)

Alejandra- (But he isn't mom. I like men that are older than me I don't like guys my age.)

Maria parked the Tahoe and turned to look at Alejandra "Ese esta muy grande para ti." Alejandra looked at the man and dreamingly sighed "No importa mama en el amor no hay edad con tal y tengas 18." Maria couldn't believe her daughter's words Alejandra noticed her mother's expression and laughed "No te creas vámonos ma."

English translation: Maria- (That man is too old for you.)

Alejandra- (It doesn't matter mom in love there is no age as long as you are 18.) (I'm just kidding come on let's go mom.)

Alejandra always had a thing for older men, she wasn't attracted to guy's her age. She expressed her like for older men to her mother whenever she had a chance. Alejandra liked men that were around the age of their late twenties to mid thirties.

When Alejandra was 15 she had a 20 year old boyfriend but dumped him after the first date. Let's just say he got a little handsy and he smoked and was a drinker which she didn't approve of in a potential partner. That was her first and last boyfriend after that failure she knew what she wanted and what she didn't want in a potential husband.

Alejandra dated for marriage she didn't date for fun nor adventure. She was adamant in what she wanted and liked in a man.

Alejandra believed in remaining virgin until marriage. She would date to marry only. She had a conversation with her mom about her liking older men and what she looked for in them. She didn't mind whether they had kids since she loved children. But she would NEVER date a married man or a divorced man. She would be willing to marry a widower if she loved him.

The reason behind her not even looking at a married or divorced man was because she hated infidelity. She believed that a man can only have one woman for the rest of his life and a woman can only have one man for the rest of her life too. She saw divorced couples as married couples and tended to run away from them.

The reason she would date to marry a widower was because to her the only correct justification for a man to take another woman was if his wife died. Then only would it be lawful in the eyes of God to look at a man with a family only if he was widowed. She was a firm Christian.

If she did marry a widower with a family she would treat and love his children as if they were hers. If she had kids of her own she would love them all the same.

María Alejandra's mom was 42 so she didn't like the idea of her 20 year old daughter being interested in men that neared her age. Maria tried introducing Alejandra to young men her age but her daughter would always remain stone faced and say "Not interested." or "Not my type." At this point Maria wanted grandchildren but with how picky her daughter was she didn't see that possibility happening any time soon.
