Yes, I know. I've been a slacking off with dearcupid, of late. (Lazybones that I am. lol) Actually..I stupidly spent my past 2 week holiday-working my butt off, renovating! Am I nuts or what? Great to be back! Good to see you posting again too, Martini. I always enjoy reading your comments. :D

If you and your girlfriend are walking down a street and randomly picked me out and asked, "I'm 40 and she's 30. What do you think?" I'll just raise my eyebrows and reply, "Fabulous."

Even if you were 90 and she's 20, I'll still say the same thing. In short, like everyone else had said, it's between you and her.

PS: wow, did I just see Irish post?!? 8)

lah mouw agony auntI know I'm young and all, But I think at that time in your life, age is something that is accepted more between people. in my opinion, I don't think that's a problem at all. You both are at a mature state to be able to handle things.

A reader, anonymous, writes (15 July 2007):

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this age gap, hun. You and your gf are both adults and likely are at a very similar life phase/stage as each other. Your gf is a mature adult, likely is educated, travelled, has a career (job), maybe a prior love relationship or two thus making her experienced with life as you are. So no need to worry about a 8-9 year age gap. Does she have kids? If not, her bio clock may be ticking loudly--something to think about. But, all in all, don't worry! Wishing you the best of happiness, hun. Good luck and take care.
