I agree with you Rockchick, I have little experience, or at least not the kind of experience someone my age has... like having been married for ages and having kids.

This said, I don't know if being with someone for a number of years means you have more emotional insight and have gone through a wider range of emotions than someone who has had short relationships or a long string of lovers.
Some people in long term relationships are just roommates with their partner and have no deep emotional connection.

As far as sexual experience, I do think younger generations have more sex and start at a younger age...

I think for a guy, any sex is an exciting prospect and being with a woman who has lower numbers would be more attractive than repulsive.
Besides, I don't think the quality of one's "performance" is affected by previous "rehearsals", as much as natural talent.

Angela,

I hear your words of wisdom.

I think times when one has to be afraid of being accused of sexual harassment for being flirty with a coworker (who has already shown interest) are SAD times.

Why do we invest so much energy in employment and give up so much of our true selves for the sake of keeping a job? If we were picking grapes in a field, no one would think anything of it.

Anyway, I am leaving that job on Friday, with needles pricked in my heart.
Not only because of this crush but because the people and atmosphere are great. It is however a place where I am not using my skills to the fullest and am not making enough money.Staying would be selling myself short.

Because he is so busy at work, we don't have much time to interact, and what was a lovely, heartwarming interaction will be a dead seed, it will not sprout any magical moment or possibility of love or friendship, it will not be the prologue to any future delights. It will be stillborn.
