Welcome back, FTR. I was starting to wonder about you since I always respected your approach.
I do not give dating advice. I'm 48, clueless, and wouldn't even know where to start. But I can tell you what I truly believe about marriage. I do not believe in "The One"; but rather, close enough. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not suggesting you settle for less. Instead, I'm suggesting that if your values are similar enough you will become like one like two dandelions that grow together. Kirst and I are two very different people and starting off it may have seemed like a mismatch. But we have always had the same values. After 26 years of marriage, we complete each other's sentences, work together with some (not perfect) harmony, and generally want to travel life's path in the same direction.
And that is my penny.
