I found someone I like. Actually I've liked him for probably several months now. Like as in I wanted to date and see him. We've been close friends for about 6 months and have known each other for over a year. We're coworkers so we understand each other's line of work and both don't want to let relationships get into work business - we don't even want to let other coworkers know. He's 18years my senior though but maturity wise, goal wise, and personality wise we are on the same page. I act much older and he's still as active as if he's younger. We both like to joke, see new things, discuss out issues, and resolve problems. Because we've been friends for so long we know each other fairly well and don't quite see each other by age anymore, however every now and again I do see myself as looking young when I see a mirror or him as older. I don't know how long this relationship will last - but we are going to try. We mesh well together and are generally good for each other. The hardest thing will probably come down to friends and family. Neither one of us is really shooting for marriage, but at the same time a relationship cannot stay seperate from others forever, and some of the people I personally know are very judgemental and may not be open to a couple with a 18 year age gap.

Just wanted to share. I'm excited to have someone I like and can share things with. I'm happy they like me back and we do so well together.
