I'm completely, completely over being single. I've had only one major relationship and it's so long ago (over 10 years ago) it's not even valid experience anymore. Not many men would take on a woman whose been single for that long, perhaps assuming the person is weird. There is a guy whose 23 years older than me. He really likes me. I like his company and we had fun on our date. The age gap is a bit of a worry but i think I'm sick of being fussy and using that as an excuse. If he likes me, is that enough of a reason to date him? I don't think i want to be single anymore and i think if he likes me then why not? I am grateful for the attention.

First of all, I would like to tell you that not dating in 10 years is no reason to feel like you are weird. You are not. Some people haven't dated in a long time because they have been devoted to business or because of other reasons, and some people have only seriously dated one person and take really long in recovering from the break up so they have no more experience than with one partner.

 

Your "little experience" has nothing to do with your capacity of feeling and expressing love. Don't forget that. Every new relationship is a new page in a book, and you have to start from scratch with that one person. Everything that happened before with other people doesn't matter.

 

To go on a date with someone it's a given that you have to like them at least a bit to begin. The fact you are considering going on a date with him means you feel comfortable around him, right? Other feelings can develop later, but have present that you don't have to go on dates "just for the sake of it", at least go for people you feel right with!

I am all for going on 1-2 dates with somebody just because they like you, especially if you are at a point where you are open to trying something new. That is a bit of an age gap but if you otherwise are enjoying spending time with him, keep doing so.

go on a date with the person who likes you, why not. and just don't tell anyone about your relationship past. it isn't even an issue unless you make it one by divulging your dating history.

I was single for 7 years at one point in my life. There is nothing wrong with being single for any period of time. Many people think it is a stigma, when it's not. It's great that the guy likes you, but do you like him back? There isn't any wrong with going out on a date and seeing what happens, but make sure you are interested in him enough for a date.

Very true.....and daring someone "just because they like you" shouldn't not be the primary factor for being with them. All other things have to line up

There are no questions of age for people who truly love.

Take time to ponder this statement from DailyDater

 

"Anytime you've got a real, live woman in front of you, who does indeed appear to have your criteria, oh my goodness--please open that door and pursue possibilities with this very real person."
