- Now you have my attention.
- What made the kiss a fiasco?
- A first kiss is always a little awkward, because of the stress
- and not being used to the habits of the other person.

- No and No. There are problems that tend to come with age difference,
- such as difference in maturity, but they are problems that may or
- may not exist in your relationship. I can only think of three things
- that really depend on age and not maturity. First, the younger partner
- will tend to grow up faster than the older, so there is a danger of
- the younger 'outgrowing' the older. Second, the problems of having
- children when you are too old or too young. Third, the problem of
- the younger being a young widow/widower. At this stage of a relationship,
- I wouldn't be worried about any of these, but rather I think you should
- be trying to figure out if the guy is someone you want to get involved
- with.
-
- As for experience, it depends on what sort of experience you mean.
- If you mean sexual experience, it is not very important, as long
- as you both can agree on how much physical intimacy you expect.
- Desipite all that is written about sex, it isn't rocket science.
- Mostly, you just need to get comfortable with it, which just takes
- time and patience. Experience with romantic relationships is a
- little harder to pick up, but again, time and patience should
- take care of it.

- Peace,
- Michael.
