WHAT--in Heaven's name--are you waiting for??? I see from your profile that you have religious beliefs. If you can benefit from my experience, then you'd realize that age makes
NO difference!! When I was 28 (many moons ago!), I definitely would have considered someone 13 years older! I've always been more interested in finding my soulmate than to giving age a second thought!
I have had relationships with men my own age (which did not work out!), with older men (which did not work out), and with much younger men (including my husband, my soulmate!!). Regardless, there were life lessons to learn from each of these relationships

. I believe that any romance that I have ever had made me the person I am, and while it took 52 years, each of those relationships prepared me to meet, love, and appreciate the one whom God intended me to be with!!
Someone I respect once said to me: "Well,
one of you has to be older!" In other words, GO FOR ITI!!!!
What, pray tell, do you have to lose?? (JMO, of course!)
BTW, nice to meet you

, and best of luck to you! Keep us posted, okay?
