At the age of 30 I was involved with a man who was 48... and the age difference was not a negative at all. The only reason our relationship didn't progress further was the 4 hours that stood between us... 3 years later I still consider him to be one of my dearest friends on earth..

I don't think that age difference is a big deal.. like you said Krsykrn, it is all about the maturity factor..

I am VERY very VERY happy for you tho... and I will keep my fingers crossed that this becomes a positive relationship for you. This also explains why you aren't on yahoo IM much lately
