Age is Only a Number

By: Rink Tillett (View Profile)

Hello, I want to make this short and to the point, because I’m an outgoing woman, soon to be sixty-nine, living in Florida, with six children, and five grand kids. I have met a man in the Navy and he is marvelous and in a sub as I write this. He is retiring in two years; I am twenty-nine years older than him, that’s the only thing that bothers me. He just laughs and tells me it’s all in my head, age is only a  number, I don’t look, feel, or act my age, so let me hear from some of you, thanks so much.

I'm 11 years older than the woman I like. I don't think she cares but I also think would prefer someone closer to her age, like a difference of a year or two. But it could only be in my head. I'm glad for you and I hope it all works out. The question I have is you after you hear a lot of agreement with you, do you think it's the same if it were reversed? People do think differently if the age difference between a man and a woman is greater for a guy. They shouldn't but it happens. Still, good luck.

Woman to woman, I think that the only one who seems like their having issues with the age thing, is YOU! In my opinion, no offense intended, you should just RELAX and just allow it to FLOW! Life is DEFINATELY too short to let 'PETTY' things consume ALL of your ENERGY!!!... So, I would suggest that you SEIZE THE MOMENT, before it slips away!!!...
