Jessica11111 Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 I am a little confused. I recently ran into a guy that I have had a crush on for quite a while. I have known this man for the past seven or eight years, he is kind, funny, handsome, and extremely sexy. Our acquaintanceship has developed into more of a casual friendship over the years, and also grew into a crush… I had left the area to live elsewhere for a couple of years, but have recently moved back and begun to run into him again. When we weren’t in close proximity, it was sort of like out-of-sight-out-of-mind. But, now that I am back, I can feel my old desires awakening again with intensity. I can also tell that just as much as I am attracted to him, he is mutually attracted to me. Now here is the thing: I am 27, and he is 47. Previously, I had never entertained the idea of pursuing a relationship with him because I didn’t feel that I was in a position to be dating someone who was so much older than me when I was in my early 20’s. But, now that I have run into him again I feel that I have matured into his peer and that dating would be much more feasible. I can’t help that I am still intimidated by the situation. And that it makes me a little uncomfortable that he has a son that is the same age as I am. But, on the other hand, I also can’t help but think that I have a second chance here. And that I am being given the opportunity begin a relationship that I had previously not allowed to flourish. So, what suggestions do you all have? I am operating under the ‘proceed with caution’ mantra. Just trying to ease into things with him, while remaining cautiously optimistic of the situation… Any advice?
boyboy Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 It really depends on whether or not you think it's worth it to risk the friendship. Personally I'd go for it, you don't want to few regret in the future.
Author Jessica11111 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 This is a very good point. Because I have definitely regretted my inactions when it has come to past relationships. I tend to get scared of loosing friendships, consequently, not pursuing the romance. I just end up being really regretful about stifling a potential relationship…
