Well, Perna, first of all, "Thanks!" for the reassuring comments, but you know, I'm age 56. I think something happens to us as we age....at least that is what I'm experiencing.
A cynical professor once stated that "falling in love" is a trick nature plays on us to "pair bond," and mate, thus procreating the species. I no longer feel inclined to seek a mate on that level, and even wonder if "falling in love" is possible over 50.
