A wacky state of affairs :
So here I am, visiting a friend at my old workplace ( Le Bookstore which is named for a colour, here in Canada ) and I notice this girl working there; I immediately think she's quite the looker -- my style in a sense. Down to earth looking, and a twist exotic -- she must be a little bit asian or south-pacific ( I could be way off
) Anyhow .. she ends up talking to the friend I'm visiting and not only is she cute but she seems /really/ nice. Just the way she talks is that /way/ that makes me melt at times..
So yeah .. fast forward a few weeks and I keep noticing her each time I visit ( I tend to hang out with this friend of mine quite the bit -- her and I tend to do the movie thing and whatnot ) And I finally get up the nerve ( being the shy guy that I am ) to ask my friend if she knows much about her aside from 'work stuff'. "Not much really .. " she says. Here I decide to be bold and ask her to find out that one crucial pieces of information -- is she single ? ( I lie .. I also asked the second safe question -- is she a lesbian
) In passing my friend does seem to remember that she recently finished CEGEP ( which is kind of jr college here ) -- which started a little knot of worry -- that could be pretty young in comparaison.
And thus -- my issue : Saw my friend again today and she found out a bit more..
1) The lovely girl is indeed single...
2 ) and she's 19 ...
( as a note -- I'm 27 now .. )
So .. here I am a bit stuck .. she certainly doesn't seem 'immature' but that's quite a bit of gap .. here I was all ready to just go ask her out and now I'm feeling a bit stymied..
Thus herein lies my dilemma...

And in the long run, 8 years is not that big of a gap, my parents and some other couples I know have easily an 8 to 12 years age difference... so when you're 51 and she's 43, that whole dilemma will sound pretty ridiculous.
