It's funny how the brain edits the past. I've had a few times where I've reviewed old writings and been shocked/amazed/surprised at what I wrote.
I also find it funny the age gap thing. When I was at school, it was 'cool' to have a much older partner (and this is pre 16!), and we thought nothing off it. Then when I got older and people I knew dated people at school it seemed much weirder! Sometimes it works for both parties, sometimes it doesn't. I remember a chum of mine who from 15-18 dated an awesome guy in his 30s. She was very mature, he was not grown up, so it definitely worked.
And I really can't talk about age gaps having dated a 19yr old when I was 31!! I try and explain it away (and not be a cougar) that she did the chasing, but really!
