A startling revelation is that my first ever girlfriend was in fact older than me. I have just accepted her as my friend on Facebook, and she happened to write her date of birth in full. So there it was, a clear indication that she was 1 year older than me! I suppose this finishes the puzzle of the reason why she dumped me. Of course we had a beautiful love affair that lasted for just over two years. As you may have guessed, she dumped me for an older guy.
