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 64 and she was 36, 18 years my junior. I
really regretted it because we got along so well that evening.
She made me feel so comfortable in her presence. Our age
difference didn't seem to matter to her as much as it did 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 watching
us.
Sometimes they just outright stare. It is very annoying and I know it is
because of our age difference that 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.
Why do people have to be so rude....? It must be the age thing.
Sincerely, Morris
PS: I have attached a picture of Laurie.
