Friends of mine are a great couple. A couple people could take lessons from. The friend that decided these two should meet was not told about age being a problem.
When he met her, she was a widow with 4 teen aged children. JMO, most guys would run in a situation like this.
They have been married for over 17 yrs now. Her children call him Papa .. the grandchildren love their Grandpa.
This couple also have the same colored white hair, give each other that look and smile at each other. He is 11 yrs younger than she is. He did not view her as an older women with 4 kids.... he saw her as a beautiful woman from the start. He did not run away.
The age difference was never a problem for either one of them. They hold hands everwhere.... and whenever we were at a dinner or dance/party and one of them was across the room or even just across the table, they had this little sign they gave to each other. It's their sign for I love you.
It might sound like a silly fairy tale, but they have been through lots regarding raising 4 teens, health issues, death of a child, etc., but have stuck be each other, and still can give that smile and look to each other.
So if I could, I would love to have what they have.... still have that "I'm in love with you" smile at the end of the day, no matter what life has thrown at us, and strong enough to stay and support each other through all of it. Still want to hold hands....
By some of today's standards, and from what I have seen on some profiles, this couple might not have met if it they had the feeling that age was a problem. (JMO)
Depends on how far out of that age range they are.... JMO.
If they are too close to my parent s age... not to date. Be friends with OK, but date. sorry no.
If they are under the age of 40.... sorry, it's my feeling we will not have as much in common to talk about. I can be friends with them, but JMO, someone whom I can talk about things like old TV shows from when we were kids or stuff like that, can be fun to talk about and laugh at.
It does not mean that the people out of the age range I put are not nice, it just has to do with comfort zone.
I am not saying meeting or dating someone out of that age range is bad, because you never know who you might meet.
That 62 yr old.... turned out to be something else.
RE: What news story has ur attention?
Look up Robert Ressler.... could you do what he did with out going insane????He must have been something else to actually have to go into the minds of the people he profiled.
