Suzy, don't let the age difference get to you. My STBX was five years younger than I. Now I am seeing someone who is 10 years older than me. She's attractive and extremely fun and easy to be around.
An age difference of 5 years wouldn't bother me. Not sure about 10 years! I was laughing over rmy experience last weekend....the guy was 27!!! That's way too close in age to my oldest daughter!
