There's an age difference?

*reads it again*

Oh, look at that. Didn't notice. I'm actually involved with a woman who's three years younger than me right now, so I guess I didn't pay any attention to it.

Faith's right. Age is irrelevant. However, I disaggree strongly with sharing all of your feelings, especially early on. Even later on, it's good to hold back at least a little bit. Show her how you feel about her with your actions, not with your words. Kiss her like you'd kiss a woman you're in love with. Never let her pick up the check, no matter how much she insists. Always get the door for her. Little things like that. Above all, do not be the first to say "I love you." Hell, don't even be the second. Be the third or fourth.

Ooh, and one more thing: all conversations must be in person. Don't go letting stuff out over the phone. Save it for dinner. And wait a little longer than you feel comfortable with to call her to make another date. It'll keep you on her mind more, raising her interest in you.

Now Faith, say you're dating a guy. At first, he seems like the strong, silent type. He takes you out on a few dates, you start to get to know him, but there are still lots of things that you haven't figured out about him yet. So you think about him a lot, wondering what's going on underneath that cool exterior. With that, your interest in him grows over time, especially when you're not around him. You find it hard to believe, but for some reason, the fact that you like him a lot and you're not sure exactly how much he likes you makes you like him even more.

Now, two months pass, and you decide that you're nuts about this guy and want to make him your boyfriend. So next time out, you ask him "So, Trogdor, where exactly are we going with all of this?" Suddenly, he pours out EVERYTHING. He dumps his heart out to you, tells you he's totally falling for you and has never met a woman like you and can't stop thinking about you, blah blah blahdee blah.

And now what happens to your interest in him, Faith?
