Town, did you notice that all of the women have disagreed with you? I often admire other women and I'm not afraid to tell them. I think you must know a lot of very insecure women.
I think it's completely normal. When my four kids couldn't get along for whatever reason, I would send them to their rooms until dinner time. By the time dinner was ready they were best friends again and are friends to this day(ages 19-27 now)
The average age of death in the US is 76 for men and 81 for women. This would support the idea of a younger man with an older woman, but who cares as long as there is chemistry and love?
Sometimes just talking about my day is a huge relief. I just need someone to listen and not try to fix things. My dogs are the best listeners in the world!
I am willing to relocate if I found the right person. It certainly appeals to my sense of adventure, and fortunately I have enough passive income that I could come back to see my grown children on a regular basis.
RE: Dating your boss
I have dated two coworkers but only because I knew they were leaving the company soon.
