poppy13 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 So there is this guy. My parents have been family friends with his since I was in high school. He's veeery attractive, but he's also ten years older. I've never thought much of it because I was always so young. Anyway, last month our familys did a little ski trip together. As always we got a long, but things felt a little different this tim. I'm 22 now and I'm realizing it may not be so far-fetched. I've always liked older guys, although 30+ would be new. I kind of forgot about it until we ran into each other last week. We talked a little and he got my #. We will probably see other again soon, but it's got me thinking... I was hoping I could get some guys opinion on this...Would he ask for my number for no reason? I'd be cool with being friends, but more wouldn't be bad either I'm debating if I should just 'wait and see' or make a bold move.
Author poppy13 Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 No thoughts? Hm. I guess i'll just have to wait and see...so boring.
mushmush Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 This is a difficult one. He has probably noticed that you are all grown up now but being a family friend your parents might not be to happy with him dating you. I'm 31 and it caused alot of **** when I dated a friend of mines, husbands younger sister who was 21 at the time. Not from my end but it pretty much ended when her family found out about it. Both our families are well off and i'd known her for some time. When I was 28 and she was 18 she was to young but still very attractive. We ran into each other when she was 21 and I was 31 and it came out she had always thought of my as being very hot. Initially it was very hot and had a good laugh but both of us where in very differnt places in our lives.

But I would wait for him to call. If he doesn't have the guts to call you than you dont want him anyway! i never met a girl who likes a wuss
Enema Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Most men don't want to be just friends with women. He wants you.

SoulSearch_CO Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 It's not the age so much that I'd be concerned about - it's about your families being friends. That could make things awkward in addition to the age thing. But I will say this much: I was married to a man 15 years older and it worked out well aside from his stupidity that we divorced over. We split over nothing to do with age gap. If anything, he was less mature than me. And I'm currently dating a guy 14 years older than myself. So the biggest age gaps, I have had the best chemistry and mental connection with. Don't be afraid of the age gap. IMO, 10 years is nothing when you get into your 20's and above. I agree with the others that've said he wouldn't have asked for your # to be buddies.
