The other time was when he showed me Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract” music video, where she dances sensually with cartoon feline MC Skat Kat. The first was when I introduced him to my parents: I still feel twelve years old around them, which made him seem very thirty three years old. Besides that night at the bar, I can recall only two occasions when I was painfully cognizant of the age gap. I still don’t know why that was happening-it wasn’t 9/11 or anything-but it prompted him to ask me the single funniest question he has ever asked me: “Were you even alive for 9/11?” In his defense, he was a few drinks in and he immediately realized the implications of dating someone who was born post-2001 (namely: the illegality of it).įor the most part, though, our nine-year age gap goes ignored: in our group of friends I’m one of the youngest and he’s one of the oldest, but we know the same people. In 2017, when I was 24 and my boyfriend was 33, we were at a bar and some footage of 9/11 played on a projector.
