LifesBeachy Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) We get along great--We have all the same interests. We met on a local site and I'm currently studying a foreign language which he has a PhD in. Through my footwork---and knowing a few tidbits about him---I found out he's a professor (well, that he told me roundabout by saying he taught at college level.) But then that lead me to find out he's OLD. You guys...OLD..so old that when you get this age .. the number doesn't matter. I'm sure he gets the senior discount at most places. I'm in my late 20s.. he's easily older than my father, of course. NOTHING like my father, however. (Thank ye gohds!) So, it's not some opposite oedipus complex.. I don't think? But I like it.. he looks really sophisticated. I got a hint or two that he was older (But I assumed no older than mid-30s..) We've talked A LOT... plan on meeting up for dinner/art exhibit. I know he's interested and open to pursuing a monogamous relationship. But he doesn't know my age! I don't know what to do, either... Just show up? Or tell him before we go? I'm not sure how old he thinks I am, either. . . . I don't want to get rejected on my age and not have a chance at all. :\ ......And a chance at getting that discount at Golden Corral or getting a senior coffee from McDonalds. Thanks for reading.

david king Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 wow, i gotta ask how the guy takes such good care of himself? he gets senior discount she he must be, what, 65 but he looks thirty years younger? pretty impressive I must say. what do he do to do that?
notsure15 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 age desn't matter. i would only worry about the shape of his / your family. my uncle split with wife and married 19yr old. he was 52. they are still together but all his kids, older than her will not be at the smae house / place and that sort of pressure could arise if your new beau is older than your father?? food for thought:confused:
MSNatalia Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Hang out casually first and see if you guys click in person after spending some time together before stressing about the age issue. Seems you admire him more than anything else, so perhaps he'd be a good mentor, not necessarily a lover. Be weary that at his age, he might be already attached but looking for something on the side, or looking to have some fun with a young girl, nothing serious.
