Ladybugs

My parents were 10 years apart in age. My mother remarried again with a 9 year difference. My brother married with a 7 year age difference. Does that age difference matter? At what age in life does age become a non-factor in relationships? My mom and pops showed the age difference. My brother and sister-in-law haven't shown it; yet. So, should a 27 year old have any desire in a 37 year old, beyond physically? The question is can it work? I have seen how it doesn't work, but could it? 10 years isn't the so-called generation that we exist in. But is a different part of that generation similar enough? Should I feel inthusiastic about her because she acts my age? Am I being paranoid because, in my situation, it hasn't worked before? I could love someone 10 years apart, because I know people that do. But should I even pursue it, when the uncertainty is on both sides of the issue? I would love to pursue her, but understand that the mental hangup of the age discrepancy could easily void the entire topic.

When I was 22 I married someone who was 29. That was 40 years ago on 8/25/06. She's still young.

So, who knows? You will never know if she's the one unless you spend the time to find out. But sex is not the thing...something else that says I really think this person is special is the thing...it's the thing that lasts.
