On a recent trip to a hardware store, Dawn’s husband was propositioned by an older lady, which got Dawn and Tracy thinking about what are the rules of engagement for older people when it comes to matters of the heart. Are older people becoming more confident or is confidence something that comes with age? Why are more men dating older women and can relationships even work when there is a large age gap?
