Dear Miss Emily:
I am falling in love with a girl 13 yrs younger than me. Should I not feel like a creepy old man? I don't feel that way. What are the rest of my peers going to think?
Halfway there
---------------------Miss Emily's advice----------------
Dear Halfway:
Have you been listening to Dr. Laura? Hey, this is Emily! I don't choose to be a "moral authority" of the worst kind. To me, the age difference is not a big deal. If the maturity factor is there, and both of you agree to a relationship, it's no one's business. Your
peers haven't any right to judge you. And if they do, tell them to butt out. It's not as if you're that old geezer, Hugh Hefner, with twenty-something's nipping at your cracked, albeit rich, heels. Now that's what I call creepy!
