My sweetie's only 2 yrs older than me. We've been going strong w/each other (even if muddlun' through other aspects of life) for 26 years. May help that we knew each other 10 yrs before we got married. First marriages for each of us; not first serious relationships.. We have married friends where she is 10 yrs older; Now elderly, she's had hr first stroke, but they're still going strong together.. (what w/the mortality statistics, maybe a guy is better off w/an older woman..??)

But, in any case, as many have said; If the feeling,(& hopefully mutual interest),is there, GO FOR IT!!

Cheers, BK
