Linds is one of the top ten posters (by count) in this forum as a whole. For people who habitually post in different parts of the forum, it can be hard to remember that there are also people who only post in one section or another and so never become aware of each other - please don't let that become a reason to take offense.

I'm aware that there are people that only go to other parts of the forum (though it seems weird to go to a forum and never discuss the reason for its existence), but I don't know any of them and am perplexed that someone who never comes to these threads was suddenly the subject of a poll in one. I'm also a bit creeped out and uncomfortable because I'm not really interested in suddenly being asked about a personal event in the life of someone I've never met or talked to or seen speak. I haven't answered the poll (and I always answer the polls) and am hoping it goes away soon.

Err. I have to break a few blades about that.*
See, an experience I made in my family immediate circle of relatives was that because of different ages (23 years apart), they had different values; the more progressive member of the marriage in question ended up under the heel of the racist homophobic part. Of course, you will argue that that's not a matter of age alone, and you will be right. I am just saying that with an age difference, the risk of values dissonance (and thus potential for conflict) increases.
*LENGF: "ein paar Klingen brechen" (to break a few blades) means to fight persistently for a cause.

I can understand the underlined part, but not the bolded one. How does it creep you out?

The same way an old woman coming up to you in the store and launching into a story about her hemorrhoids is creepy, just less severe.
Method of Madness:
It's partly their age but more that they're in different stages of life. I don't think it's wrong, I'm just skeptical that it'd work.
Is it cold in here?:
Dora was 26 when the comic started. http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1958 is consistent with her being 28 now although that one was meant to be approximate.
Jim may not have much dating experience if he doesn't know what "I'm not ready for a relationship" means.
His reaction is also consistent with "Ooh, gross! Get a room!".
