19. Two months. And we're in that two month timeframe now, so she's MUCH older.
I will continue to kid her about it right up until my birthday next month.

She enjoys that, and takes it well.

Does anyone have any good ideas about how to remove a cast-iron frying pan from the side of my head?

21. We're all a couple years within each other.
GF is a year older than me, and BF is two years younger than me.

We refer to him as Harem Boy and he doesn't seem to mind.

I really don't see age as an issue though...sometimes people are at different points in their life so that's why it doesn't work but age, as a whole, really makes no difference.

I was in Lenscrafters getting some contacts, and she went down to get the new video game and didn't have her ID. They refused to sell it to her, so she had to come to Lenscrafters and get me so I could buy it for her!!!!

81. I have seriously thought about that.
But I'm moving in a few months into a place that already has 2 other cats, so he'll have company then. I just hope they adjust to each other and get along.

If I ever get another cat it would have to be an adult. I definitely don't have it in me to raise any more kittens. I figure I'll open a retirement home for older or disabled cats that need a loving home. :)

89. My situation has nothing to do with looking or not looking.
I'm in too much physical pain to be in a physical relationship with anyone at this point, and the side effects of my meds just make it worse instead of better. I go from being in horrible pain to being numb, uncomfortable, confused, and absent minded.

:shrug:

If I have another relationship it's going to need to be a very understanding platonic relationship. :(

I was a psychological mess when my s/o found me.... granted, we've had some probs, but he did help me to transition to the "gay" life.... which wasn't easy!

107. I totally understand. I just think it's pretty cool!
Me and hubby are 7-ish years apart, but still have a lot of the same references. Not sure why. Either I was an old lady before my time (probably), or he's just one of those young at heart people (more likely). :-)

132. The last girl I was serious with...
The last girl I was serious with had just turned 21. I was 41. But I'm not the typical "creepy old guy who likes college girls" so stop saying that!

As for now I'm single... but the young lady I'm stalking (oops-- that should be, "attempting to dialog with") is...? I dunno. I'd hazard a guess she's in her mid thirties.

I did enjoy going out with the much younger lady, though: I went to dance clubs for the first time in probably 15 years (though if anyone ever saw me dance, you'd know why I'd been avoiding them), actually did stuff rather than sitting on my behind every night in front of the TV, and was introduced to the song, I Kissed A Girl And I Liked It. Good times, good times... :)

On the other hand, I *really* felt my age after getting off the dance floor a few times-- wondered if the bar maybe had a few canisters of O2 I could suck down for a few minutes...
