Don’t let age get in the way of romance

Q: I am a 45-year-old bachelor who looks 36. When I meet younger women, they appear to be interested in me. The last situation happened with a 24-year-old woman. Over a period of five or six weeks, she developed a high interest in me, but I did nothing because of the age gap. Is an age difference a BIG problem, or is it acceptable – like in the movie “The Terminal”? Also, how long can a woman’s interest last for a guy she likes? Could it be a year or longer, or is it just until the next guy comes along?

Mia: Hey, if you’re lucky enough to attract younger chicks, go for it! Old people are fond of saying, “Age ain’t nothing but a number,” aren’t they? But I will say of 24-year-old women, the attention span isn’t always great. So, if she was into it a year ago, she’s probably moved on by now.

Steve: Age is a problem only if the couple involved thinks it is. Be honest about your age right away with any twentysomething you meet and let her decide. As for how long a woman’s interest might last, well, it can last forever if you play your cards right.

Q: Regarding the pregnant Jewish woman and her husband who disagree about bris, think of it as a gift to their future daughter-in-law.

Speaking as a woman who is susceptible to bacterial infections because of her uncircumcised husband, if I knew then what I know now, I’d never have gone on that first date! Also, consider the peer pressure your son will experience growing up. He will be ostracized and viewed as strange by the other traditional/

conventional boys.

Steve: We’re printing this letter to tell each side in the war over circumcision to please stop writing us! Parents should consult their pediatricians, the Internet and their clergy and get both sides of the issue.

Mia: Really, like we want to talk about circumcision anyway. More questions about bondage and women’s underwear, please!

Q: A woman I’ve dated for a month has a birthday coming up. I’m thinking about buying her something sexy from Victoria’s Secret. We just recently became intimate. Do you think she’ll like it? Or should I get something more traditional?

Mia: Why stop with lingerie? Get her something with batteries!

Steve: Excuse me, but not every woman wants a vibrator from a guy she just started dating. You should know her well enough by now to know whether she’d appreciate flowers more.
