Dear Abby:
I met Laurie at a singles dance.
I knew as soon as I looked at her she was too young for me. Right I was. I am 54 and she is 32, or 22 years my junior. I really regretted the age difference 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.
I told Laurie that I felt people staring at us. I said, "They are probably wondering if I am your father." She thought I was being silly and told me that 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 our age difference that draws these prolonged looks from everyone we meet. I just feel so uncomfortable about this whole thing. Why do people have to be so rude?
I have included a picture of Laurie I took at the park this past weekend.
