Thoughts on dating a younger man

[Brunwynne]

Hi,

 

I am writing becuase I recently have for the first time in a long time met a wonderful, caring, itneresting man who shares my interests, makes me laugh, and even causes me to blush. But, he is 20 and I am 30.

 

WE met at college, where I am a professor, I have a PhD, and am a single woman, no kids, never married just a beautiful dog.

 

He asked me out recently, and we both really want to spend time together, talking about books, an dmovies, and life, and even share a mutatul dislike for cheese. I think my parents would be alright with him, as they trust me, and I have always been a carign good person. I think though we are concerned about what his mum will think, and how to help her feel positive about us dating, so he and I can have a romantic relationship, we are both proud of. Family is so importnat to us both, and I am tearful to think that somethign as uncontrollable as my age would make anyone ashamed of me, or embarassed, or angry with me. I have also never had a bf mum who didn't endear me, and it would break my heart to be not welcomed into his home.

 

I woudl appreciate any advice from mum's who have sons of this age. What woudl be your worries, how could your son alleviate your worries, how could soemone like me endear or help you feelhappiness for your son, how do I show the mum, the person I am, not the year I was born?

 

Please help your thoughts and advice, is very much appreciated.

 

Thank-you

I say go for it!!

 

I'm in an age-gap relationship, and know many people in them! Just take your time and get to know him a little more, and if a relationship should develop, let it.

I think most if not all universities do not allow professor/student relationships.

 

I noticed you used the word "mum" so I'm going to assume non-United Staten. If that's the case I wouldn't know other country's stance on the issue.

 

BTW my parents are 6 years apart (married @ 24 and 30) so 10 ain't too different.
