1) Are you sure that you are not making all this up?
2) Do you look into the mirror every morning and ask why I fell for a woman 20+ years my senior?
3) Can't I pull younger birds?
STOP before you embarrass yourself big time. I do not want to pour cold water on you but this cannot be true. It is not going to work out no matter how you cut it, not even briefly.

ah-kay: Why would I make this up? I do have a life that I don't need to troll on the internet for ****s and giggles. There was a time when I wish this lovey-dovey feeling would just go away because there's nothing more miserable than to love someone who you think could never or would never return your love.
No, I've never really asked myself why I fell head over heels for a woman who is more than a decade older than me. It just gradually happened. Besides, she has a beautiful personality that more than anything else enhances her physical beauty. So it's not just about looks.
I've gone out with younger women/girls and not too long ago was dating a woman around my age. I just happened to like this woman who happens to be
older, guessing maybe she's 54 going on 55--and that doesn't bother me one bit. I have to admit having a crush on her piqued my interest in older women and for a time I was just checking out 40+ only
That wasn't the case back then. In hindsight, I think there was an older woman whom I worked with years back that may have "liked" me. I was too clueless then to read her hints. She was married, so I don't think I would have gone for it. But really, older women weren't on my radar at the time.
I've always been the cautious type and analyse too much that I sometimes end up letting opportunities pass. Heck, a coworker is always telling me that I need to just do it. He in fact told me that there's someone who thinks I'm cute but won't tell me who it is. He said that I need to talk to her because women like that. He thinks it's a confidence issue with me, and that may partly be it, but it's really more of how badly do I want to be with someone. I'm one of those guys who enjoys solitude and don't mind doing things alone. I never cared for what society thinks of single people who don't have an SO. I know being in a relationship is sometimes overrated. That being said, if I find a girl attractive yet I'm not feeling it, then I won't feel a need to do something. But sometimes I'll meet a person who makes me want to do something, and this person we're talking about here is one such person. If I embarrass myself, then so be it. I may not see it that way because I did it knowing that I will never have to look back and wonder "what if."
