DacaInaru Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Ok. I have a dear and near friend we have know each other for over 2 years and we get along great.. I have always had a major chrush on him.. and found out that he feels the same.. so.. we decided to go on a date.. i pursued him.. actually I for a lack of better words pretty much said.. hey i like you you like me.. so lets get together.. so.. I never bothered to ask his age.. he is a good looking guy.. today.. on our first official date.. I said by the way.. how old are you.. and he says.. i'm afraid to answer that question.. i said.. uh.. why.. he said cause i'm 57.. now I'm a 34 year old woman.. but we have a lot in common.. I think he's concerned about the age difference.. I'm not.. cause it really doesn't matter to me and I really like him and have for a long time.. I might add we also work together.. so it makes him neverous.. my thoughts are its not like i'm an 18 year old dating a 57 year old.. i'm 34, been married and divorced twice and have a kid.. so what the big deal? does age really matter? and how can I get him to understand that i'm ok with him being 57.. ?
Merin Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Tell him exactly what you said here... You've been married (So I'll go out on a limb and say you're not in a hurry to do it again) You've got a Little Person.. so again going out on a limb to say you're not in a hurry to have more? You like him and the 2 of you get along well... Perhaps if you hadn't been married before or hadn't had children and were mad crazy to do both then I could see more of why he would be concerned... Good Luck
CurvyGurl Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Not that big of a deal, in my book. I would not date a 57 yr old man simply beacuse it's too close to my dad's age. But then again I've never been married and wouldn't choose a man of that age for my first husband. I HAVE dated men in their 40's though. You're right, it isn't like you're 18 or anything. Try it out, see how it go.
