Well, I'm glad to see there are still a few more guys who believe in Chivalry. Sounds to me like you could very well have a winner, and I know exactly what you're talking about with the way you feel. I've been with my girlfriend for just 10 months now, despite a 7 year age difference and everyone saying it wouldn't last more than 2 mos. We're past the "infatuation" stage where you see no faults, but the love is still there. Like jcboeckel (sp?) said, the feeling changes somewhat, but becomes a deeper feeling, and eventually, a need. While you do need to be ready for anything, you also can't be in a serious relationship without some risk, way I see it, that's why we call it "falling" in love.
As for what some of these guys say, there is some bitterness I'm sure and some sarcasm, but Elky does have a point, nice guys generally finish last, but NOT ALWAYS. Took me 22 years to get a girlfriend, and I think what I got in the end was a wife, Time will tell.

Congrats on the find and I wish you the best of luck.
