mzdolphin Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I'm in my mid 40s and he's in his early 50s. We are both divorced and have minor children. My teen son lives with me. He does not have custody of his teen son and 10-year-old daughter, but they come stay with him every other weekend and the daughter sometimes during the week. We've been dating for about 9 months. I haven't introduced him to my son and I don't really want to meet his kids at this point. He hasn't met any of my friends, or siblings yet, but I wouldn't mind introducing. He is from Nigeria and has no family in the states. But he has co-workers, not that he does much with them. We don't see each other much, twice every other week, because of work and the kids. I haven't met anyone in his world. I've invited him to an event next month in which he will meet someone of my friends. I believe I love this guy and want to share that, but I don't dare until he does. Even at my age, I'm not clear about what my expectations should be at nine months. He calls every evening. I wish he would plan more dates, but he does make plans to see me every other weekend (when he doesn't have his kids and I don't have my son) and he works from home every other Monday, and I come over and we spend time together. We get along fine. Enjoy each other's company. Am I the victim of too many Oprah episodes and books like "he's just not that into you?" Or should I have cause for concern?
