Age is just a number...

Some say age is just a number....why can't that be the truth. 

If age were just a number, I would not be concerned with dating my own age, younger or older. Most say it is just a number. But to all those Catherine Zeta Jones/Michael Douglas and Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher relationships I say they see something most of us are missing, the maturity, experience, and grace that comes with age.  

Now, this isn't always the case as people don't always 'act' their age and sometimes are less or more mature so it is hard to pigeon hole people by a number; but for the most part I believe there should be ranges that categorize people with warning labels, like expiration labels on food (ie: expired, mature and ripe, childish not fully developed, & raw and will give you an upset stomach).  

Speaking of age and getting older, my birthday is just around the corner as I count only 4 years from being closer to a pact (one to which I definitely did not agree to) that scares me from turning another year older.  A friend whom constantly reminds me that at age 30 if I am still single I will marry him is now only 4 years away from this quote on quote 'agreement' becoming his reality (obviously not going to happen). But seriously, what is wrong with society that at a certain age you are not marketable anymore and unfit for marriage?

why do I have a feeling that all relationship conversations with a close guy friend are the same guy...
