Dear Fonseca
I just turned 50 years-old and feel like I'm 30 again. I was recently out with some girlfriends when I met a much younger man. It turns out he went to high school with my daughter and is just two years older than her. We've been out several times. I have yet to tell my daughter I am dating him. Do I need her permission? Should I care what she thinks?
