Im not so sure i agree on the slow getting to know someone, at our age time is precious, why wait if you know that person is right for you, i was a lot younger only 34 when i met my hubby, and yes we knew each other only two weeks, and two months before we married, still going strong 15 yrs later, so folks it can happen, i guess everyone is just concerned for your well-being my friend, but if it feels right it will be,I say go for it mate, don't waste time, good luck and enjoy your time with Doreen.
