Younger man

I work with a man 10 years younger than I am (I'm 37). We've known each other 4 years. I'm divorced with a child and he's never been married and has no children. Other than that, we're extremely compatible. We get along great. We've hung out outside of work and sparks flew. The chemistry between us is unbelievable - it's only a matter of time before we act on it. My concern is not so much the age difference but the big one with us women - my body. I'm not overweight, but I have that "yes, I've had a baby" belly that refuses to go away. Also, stretch marks, boobs that aren't up where they used to be... you know, the usual stuff of concern. :) He's in great shape, has an amazing body, and has always dated 20-something-year-old hard bodies. I just can't help but wonder what he'll think of MY body. The last man I dated was 34, divorced with kids. I didn't have this concern at all, since I knew he'd seen the body of a 30+ year old woman who'd had a baby. Can anyone give me some thoughts on this?

Hmmm...since I posted a "does age matter" question earlier, I might be a little biased on this one. I say, what the heck! If the feelings are mutual and you want to be together, why not? If he's that into you he wont care about your "baby" belly. And if he does care, he's not worth it then, is he?
