I'm beyond legal; I'm in my 30's, so it's not like he's be robbing the cradle or anything. It's just the social pressures to date the "right" people. I know a number of people who would not hesitate to make unkind remarks about the age difference.

But, he hasn't really flirted with me, so I'm nervous about doing something that will make me seem foolish. After all, he could be divorced, a widower, or heck, he might not be married because he's gay.

Dating is such a mine field.
