I see the distinction, and have used that distinction in the past, but
I've come to believe that it is an overly simplistic categorization.

I never have felt that 'pitter-pat' with my ProblemOlderWoman that is so
symptomatic of the *LUST* relationship.  Still, there's romance aplenty,
and we try to *demonstrate* our love for each other.  I think that's the
key to keeping the romance alive: *do* something for the other person
that shows you still care for them as a unique individual.

OK, here's my situation. I'm a 23 year old student. Over the past year or so
I've grown very close to a woman who's 39 (turning 40 in 6 weeks). We've become
very good friends and talk every day. We didn't tell each other our ages for
the longest time (she's very insecure about her age) and things were on the
verge of getting serious when she insisted on knowing my age and backed off
when I told her (this was about 6 months ago). We've remained good friends,
if anything we've gotten closer and we are very fond of each other but she
does have serious hang ups about my age. She has gone out with younger men
before as much as 10 yrs younger but not this young.

We relate very well, she doesnt see me as immature at all and our friendship
is balanced and devoid of power games etc and their is mutual respect.
 I'm also not pressuring her at all though we do discuss the situation from
time to time. So what do I do. Do I wait and hope she comes around? Do I
 put matters on the table in a serious discussion and risk harming our
 friendship?  Do I just give up any hope of a serious relationship with her?

Don't in any way think you will be more likely to get world-class

There were three problems:

2. Her engagement ring and wedding band made a visual estimate difficult.

Besides, I'm more interested in interocular distance.

It's interesting how many insults the verbal half of the brain (the left
brain, which, since it controls the right half of the body, thinks of
itself as the right side) has come up with for the nonverbal right brain
(which it thinks of as the left side), which can't talk back.  gauche
(French for left).  sinister (Latin for left).  A "left-handed"
compliment.  On the other hand, right is, well, RIGHT.  adroit (French for
right).  dextrous (from Latin for right).  The left hand is the hand of
the devil, and so on.

As for diamond engagement rings, the enormous pressure to spend large sums
of money on them is brought to you by the South African De Beers diamond
cartel and their expensive international ad campaign that's been going on
for at least thirty years now.  When I was young, their ads said you
should spend one month's salary on a diamond engagement ring.  Later on,
it became two.  Now I see someone in this thread saying that the correct
figure is now three.  They're getting just a tad greedy, aren't they?

In any case, not everyone cares for diamonds.  My wife's engagement ring's
stone is a ruby, for example.
