Thank you.

And I'm just curious, as you reflect on a relationship that didn't work out, what role do you feel like Pfeiffer played in your life, and what did you learn from that relationship?

Christmas napping.

I'm really curious.

You guys clearly had a great connection.

I think the chemistry was off the charts.

Clearly, you're talking about moments that Pfeiffer showed this maturity that surprised you.

And I think when, again, you're the older person, you're trying not to quiz the person about how mature they are or aren't.

And yet Pfeiffer showed you these moments of maturity.

And again, this is not like a rip on Pfeiffer, but I think it sounds like you came to learn that once she got outside of this bubble and got back to her life,

she maybe realized that, like, you know what?

Age is playing a role in why this relationship can't work out.

I'm not ready for what Derek has or his lifestyle.

Are you more, less likely or about the same, your willingness to date someone younger than you?

Let's say you meet someone, they're younger than you.

I'm curious, how going forward will you protect yourself and your heart from the same thing ending up?

Because a lot of people have bad partners.

Pfeiffer talked about a bad ex.

And it wouldn't be surprising to me that you meet someone younger than you and they're like, oh, this Derek, he's a great guy.

You know, there's a lot of reasons why you seem appealing, but how will you protect yourself from meeting someone like Pfeiffer?
