“I could have dated younger men during the last five years, but lovely as some of them were, I didn't want to keep wincing inwardly whenever I referred to something that called attention to my age. Or not be able to share the difficulties of growing older, or have to keep explaining references. I'd like to be with someone kind who can hold a conversation and is in my age group. If that's too much to ask, I'll do without.” Dating In Older AgeDating In Your FiftiesDating Younger People Book:To Throw Away Unopened Source: To Throw Away Unopened
