Very well said, Mel. Very very well said. *has to hurry for church event, hopes that I can think of something to say in less than a minute so that this will not be a one-liner*
OK I got nothing, in a rush, see ya. *comes back later to edit* Oh, and if you were referring to me, Clara, sure, I'd put you on my buddies list! (Please specify who you were talking to.)

And before we shift COMPLETELY back on target, i'd like to point out i already said it should be In private messaging, so you didn't have to go and say it again. :P
by the way kk: *No one throws kk in jail for three minutes as punishment for one liner* next time don't hope for no one to mind. No one tends to get testy. :P *Having tied up all buisness that was off topic, throws this topic baclk onto the track, and puts up walls so it won't exscape again* I guess their maturities, and immiturites DO Ballance themselves out in the end, as you pointed out...Not that any of it really matters at all if the guy turns out to be dead. (I, for one, seriously hope he isn't. Even if that WOULD kind of solve the whole age problem...)I personally didn't really think of the age problem, i don't think, until i saw this topic! dragons rule! what? everything else i might say would take longer then three lines.  |

Hrm. I need my books XD
It says somewhere around that Roshaun is roughly Kit or Nita's age as the closest comparison from his age rate to ours. Tom says in W@W that Wellakhits have a longer latency period than ours (kind of like puberty). I asked DD about how Ro ages compared to humans, and she said she didn't have that quite worked out yet. But seriously folks, Nita's age is only 3 years older than Dair. I fail to see how that is "disgusting". As far as Ro being immature, I would not say that about him. When you look at the passion he has when he tells Dairine about his planet's history, that seems pretty mature to me. He is also fully aware of the relationship building between he and Dair. I also fail to see how eating lollipops has anything at all to do with maturity 0_o? Roshaun is at the very least on the same maturity level as Dair, and she is a lot more mature than 12. ││ "What do you usually wear when meeting your leaders?"..."If we've got any guts at all, a real annoyed expression..." ││ www.freewebs.com/wellakhdatabase ││ Tom and Carl are hiding something...o_0 ││ ││ "If a fan ships in the forest and there’s no one to hear…??"--DD in "Out of Ambit" ││ Speak to Strangers ││ |

Completely agree with you there, I think that three years of difference is not much at all, and like you said, unlink Kit and Nita, Ro and Dari reconginse the meaning of their relationship!

Ok - ow I thought that Nita was 15 in W@W - I figured out years passing by breaks/holidays. We know that Dairine is 11 in HW, when Nita is 13. Now Dairine should be 13. Because Roshaun is about equivelent of Nita and Kit in his species, it isn't bad, or gross. The only problem would be Dairing aging too fast.
Dairine is (already mentioned) very mature for her age. - I don't see any problem. I am in the middle of rereading W@W now, but at the moment, they are annoyed that everyone thinks they are romantic, not good friends, they don't exectly have a word for their relationship. I still think that they'll get together - otherwise DD wouldn't have included certain comments (between Nita, Kit).

it doth seem-i mean, it seems to me that the meaningfulness of age differences change as you get older. When you're older, three years is laughed at. When you're younger, people are horrified by it. And when that age difference puts you on two sides of some insivisible line-like high school, and middle school-most poeple will faint at the very suggestion.

Yeah that's right, I know some of my friends are dating people that are like three or four years older than them. And it's not as bad because we're all 16 so people are like fine with it. Had they been 14 or 15 then people would be appalled.
I think that Dairine is a just about the right age. "It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary." -- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho ||What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm the bad guy?|| 11.21.08|| |

This is actually related to the "rule" which is often considered the point which stuff is creepy. 1/2 Older person's age+ 7. This means that at 14 its creepy to be dating someone any other age (of course that's not quite accurate then, but much off and its creepy) and at 18 its perfectly reasonable to be dating someone who's 22, because the age difference isn't mattering so much. As for Dairine and Roshaun, I'd actually not thought about their age differences between them before now. It seems to work for them, mostly because of Dairine's maturity. There probably would be problems because of their ages though, Dairine while mature is young and it does end up mattering some times. They could possibly manage it, but it would be hard at times. I could see them together better when they're older though, once Dairine has grown up some, but that's also me not seeing the point in people dating at all before at least 16 or so. We will remember you PM. And your little GingerBear. |

In my book, if one of the partners is an alien and a pairing still seems reasonable- well, then problems with an age difference is a little moot- it is more a question of compatible maturity, as been brought up before. But I do agree that any romantic overtures between Dair and Roshaun would be better played if they were older. 17, at a minimum for me. 19 would be ideal. *coughs*

Hey Guys, whats been up? Sorry I haven't been on much, its just that I was down in Argentina-South America- and internet is sometimes hard to get. Anyway, I totally agree that a difference in age causes different reactions at different stages in life. For example my mom and dad are 8 years apart, but they get along. Me, on the other hand, since I am 13, if I were to date a 21 year old every one would be appalled- including me
 - because the 21 year old would know about and do things on dates that are considered by the girls in Ireland form WA,-ahem, shake of the hand-. I Think that different stages in life allow for different circumstances! Kardia |

Oh dear... I'm a rulebreaker again! :-D But seriously, I believe emotional maturity matters a lot more than physical age. Or so I've found  Founder of the Poppyseed Muffin liberation Front. |

*agrees* I hope they can make it work. of course, first they need to find eachother again, assuming he's even alive in the first place. *Hopse he is, particularly since this conversation has been completley wasted otherwise*

Believe it or not, that's actually sort of what I was trying to get at earlier.I just have trouble articulating my words. Yay. Yeah, I can think of a couple situations where it might be tense. There are certain times where the best thing to do is just let romance simmer a bit, give it time and it will grow. If you attempt it too soon, it's like poetry to young love, as Lizzy says. It'll destroy it. I've had personal experience in that division. So....I think they can work together, but really only by a thread at the moment. Give them some time, a couple tragedies to bind them (hey, that's already happening, isn't it?) and some good times too (there was sadly too little of that lately) and I think they'd work together juuuuuuuust fine. just let your heart take over and sign with a flourish |

by that logic, all the couples we want together should be happily in relationships any book now. :P oif course, it'll probably drag out, but that's alright since the series might end with everyones happily together...*wonders what problems they'll have* i suppose as long as he's alive, nothing to bad. If he's dead...well, it would certainly be an interesting relationship, i'll give them that. :P

Uh, how could they have a real relationship if Ro was dead? I know, there'd be Timeheart, but I don't think Dari would be able to go there that often. If any wizard could, Nita would have already gone there to see her mom, and Edrashtekeresket (hope I spelled that right). Since Nita hasn't, I would think Dari wouldn't be able to.

Or it could be that she know the valueof letting go. or goes to see her often, just not when we are with them...
And that's why i said it would be an interesting relationship. *was joking* dragons rule! what? everything else i might say would take longer then three lines. |

I think that Dairene and Roshaun are a good match for each other, I mean, their Personalities are about the same, and also they are pretty much at the same maturity levels when it comes to social behavior. So, their age's don't really matter.

If (when) they do (finally) get together, I wonder what their future will be like...

I think Dairene and Roshaun are perfect for each other
, as I don't really think Roshaun is dead...  so they really are good for each other, and you could see they already have a thing for each other.  Believe something... and somewhere, it's happened |

Yah, they are perfect for each other! And Ro will quickly learn not to eat so many lollipops!
Also, I have a feeling they will not have a quiet relationship!!  But then you never know with couples, Nita and Kit are way easier to predict! A very happy couple, who barely have arguments. Kardia |
