Suzy - your friends didn't give you any grief over dating a much younger man?
BA - I just don't take it too personally, if I write to a guy who I think is attractive and he blows me off. Maybe he didn't think I was pretty enough for him - or maybe I reminded him of his ex, or maybe he noticed we are politically incompatible, or maybe he wants to have more kids and is looking for someone fertile - who knows? I get lots of people contacting me whom I pass over for similar, maybe sometimes nonsensical reasons. (I find myself avoiding surfers, even though they are usually buff, because my ex was one). Sometimes it is just instinct. Instinct served me well when it came to the last boyfriend, I think I'll trust it.
