Dear Post Man:

A good friend of mine will only date men much, much younger than her age. My friend is 43 and many of her boyfriends have barely been over 25. Should I be concerned? I'm worried my friend is trying to relive a youth that is long gone.

Yeah, I know I’d be concerned if my friend was dating a young, fit, virile man-boy.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

What could possibly distress you about this? If she was meeting guys on an ex-con web site, I’d be concerned. If she was caught on “To Catch a Predator,” I’d be a little worried. But because she’s gallivanting with post-grads!?!? If anything you should be asking for details.

What is so wrong with an older woman dating a younger man anyway? Age discrepancy is totally accepted in America today. Haven’t you watched...

When she found me, she looked even better than her pictures, with beautiful long hair, and she was dressed stylishly in this nice, silky dress. I'm a leg man, so the first thing I noticed was the skirt - and her great legs.

Gie, on the other hand, looked kind of surprised when she met me. She hadn't seen my picture, so she didn't know what to expect. But her reaction could've been just because I was late.

I'd only had Indian food once before, but we got some great dishes to share. Their chicken curry was delicious, and Mint was a good date spot, with candles and a low ceiling.

Gie is a lovely girl, very smart and well mannered. However, she was a bit guarded, and it was kind of hard for me to loosen her up. I'm the...
