Thanks to JamesM for sharing this picture with us.
Dear Abby,
I met Laurie at a singles dance. I knew as soon as I looked at
her that she was too young for me. I'm 69, and she is 42, 27
years my junior. I really regret this, because we get along so
well. She makes me feel so comfortable in her presence. Our
age difference doesn't seem to matter to her as much as it
does to me.
Abby, I told her I felt people were staring at us. I said they are
probably wondering if I am your father. She thought I was being
silly, and said if I wanted to see her again she would be honored
to go out with me.
Laurie and I have been dating now for three months. I really like
her, and I think she likes me. Still, everywhere we go, I feel people
are watching us.
Sometimes, people just outright stare. It is very annoying. I know
the staring is result of our age difference which draws these
prolonged looks from everyone we meet. I just feel so
uncomfortable about this whole thing and wonder if I should
continue with the relationship. Help me, Abby.
Why do people have to be so rude?
Sincerely, Jim
