Finding someone that you can tolerate for longer than 2 weeks is already difficult enough, I can't possibly see how imposing some form of arithmomania is going to improve anyone's chances.. That's why patience is a virtue I hold dear above all else. Take your time. There's no rush. I'm young, I got plenty of time ahead of me. I'm still not finished doing the things I've always wanted to do. I prefer a strong friendship as the basis, it could create something more worthwhile. I prefer stoicism to patience.. A person can be patient, but the spontaneity of emotion can overwhelm even the most ardent practitioner.. I feel like they should have classes for this at my school. I'd actually learn something. Its hard because you never know what kind of guy or girl you're going to meet to put this to the test. Proclivities of an individual are very wide ranging. You would have to take classes until you are 85 and everything you learned up until then would become moot..

What's your preferred age range for dating? I have never really considered dating anyone more than 5 years younger than me, but I wonder if I am eliminating too many people. I mean, if one of my best friends can be in a relationship with someone so much younger and make it work...maybe. I just worry that there are too many stages in life and if two people are not in those same stages it could cause a lot of problems. It so depends on the person. Some guys are men at 25 and some guys are boys at 67. It just so depends.

Human habits can be quite incorrigible. This leads me back to the stoicism that I practice. Keeping emotion in check and not allowing the random nonsensical urge to over analyze something works 100% of the time at least 40% of the time.

Its more like 80% and yes I do need to calm down...maybe a vacation.

I actually agree on that, though. On a site like this, it is a good idea to keep emotions in check. Much of what is said is silly and not meant to offend.

I don't really understand why people get bent out of shape about someone's age preferences. same here but i will say it creeps me out when i see guys with much younger women to me it sends a message n i tend to think they aint mature enough for a woman thier own age not sayin thats the case but more often than not it is likewise when a woman is old enough to be a guy grandmother thats creepy too I don't really care what others do. I just get tired of being lectured by some much older man about how "age is just a number." I honestly think people say "age is just a number" so us older folks can feel better about ourselves.

Can you imagine sitting in restaurant getting ready to order and the waiter/waitress asks "what is your son having?" I saw a couple that I mistaken for father and daughter which was what the poor waitress thought too while the man chewed her out.

That in most cases assumptions are a reasonable way to understand a situation, so that you'll know how to react?
