- 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 48 and she was 32 ,
17 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....? Why must people constantly stare?
Sincerely,
Ricky
PS: I have attached a picture
of Laurie.
