This thread reminds me a real event. A fren of mine was in love with a gal. The gal was about 4 years older than him. Though he was in deep love, sometimes he was worried about the age difference.

As a friend, I tried to convince him. "Its just a matter of 2 years not 4 years as such- add 2 years in your age and subtract 2 from hers, it becomes equal." And it worked too, lolz. Though the calculation looks weird, it gives u a way to compromise.
