pattyhall Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 13 years ago, I was totally hung up on my boss. He is about 9 years older, and at the time he wouldn't date me because he felt I was too young for him. He did admit to attraction, and would still take me out all the time. We didn't see one another for 10 years. This past January, he tracked me down through a mutual friend. He is 42 now, and we are both single. He has included me in plans with his adopted child- many times. He usually calls me every day, takes me to dinner, concerts, introduced me to his mom recently. (She said he talks about me constantly, and I think she was hinting at how I feel toward him) We've been doing this for 7 months. I am crazy about this man. I never got over him, and I SO want to be with him. However, at the end of each 'date', he seems to run away from me. He'll give me a long hug, and then he'll practically RUN to get away from me. I mentioned that he usually calls every day. Some days he'll call up to five times, other times, he'll go two days without calling. Confusing. I'm attractive and I take good care of myself, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I know that he has gained quite a bit of weight and isn't comfortable with himself, but would something like that hold a man back? Are men of 42 usually just interested in women for platonic friendships? Oh, and he's been hinting on taking a trip together. Platonic? I've held back on asking him how he feels because years ago, I let him in on my feelings, and that's when he rejected me due to the age difference at the time.
angelj Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I think you should confront the situation and simply ask. Even with everyone's advice on the matter, you wont know until you ask and then you can rest your head at night knowing
