"I have great taste in guys :) Lol. In real life, I actually tend to stick closer to my own age. I've never actually dated a guy more than a few years older than me."

At my age, finding them older and still "healthy" is a challenge! But I have made two "errors in judgment" (some people call them marriages) and am not looking to make another. I live alone and am quite unattached - and right now, love it that way. But I haven't written love off - I am, as Kathleen Turner says in Romancing the Stone, a hopeful romantic.

I think when you're young, an age difference is much more difficult and uneasy than as you get older. 10 years in a gulf between 20 and 30 - but a little crevice between 50 and 60! At least, that's how I see it!

Just go out with a guy that thinks you're the best and treats you that way - age is superfluous then! Oh my gosh - I am sounding like Dear Abby! It's us older women, we tend to "tend"! Just tell me to stop if I have gone too far!

Lol no problem. Right now, I don't meet many guys. (I'm at an all girls school.) But I'm always on the lookout for a nice guy with a sense of humor. I've always been a hopeless romantic but I don't want to jump into anything too soon. Quite a few girls I know and grew up with are getting married or have gotten married. I don't want to end up like two of my cousins, one who's 29 and divorced once and the other 32 and divorced twice. When I get married, it's going to be forever.
