Pat said: “I just wanted them to get know me as a person before they found out my age. I have dated men my own age. But I find them boring. Philip keeps me young at heart.” Philip said: “I’m a quiet guy. Girl my age expect men to be witty and talk all the time. Pat just wanted to get to know me. I thought that she was about 20. So it was a bit of a shock when she told me she was almost as old as my mother. I couldn’t help but laughs.” Pat said: “I was nervous about telling him my age but it didn’t seem to make a difference. I still felt like a teenager in love, with weak knees, a pounding heart and all that. I knew he was the one.”
