If you haven't acted upon this attraction then I would say don't worry my lovely.

We have all had our fair share of window shopping. It is nice to look at beauty.

There are plenty of younger men attracted to older girls so it isn't impossible but you might not be comfy.

:heart:

I used to like older women when I was a young man.

The French President's wife is much older than he is. She used to be his teacher.

Why do you make it out that it's a bad thing? There is nothing wrong with it and you never know he might like you for you. So why not break out of your comfort zone, which is what every fiber in your body is telling you not to do, and see what happens. What is the worse thing that can happen?

I'm in agreement with amykitten. Why is that a bad thing? Why not see what happens? Why not go for it?

For the record, my current fwb is fifteen years younger than me. Had I walked away when he approached me because of nothing more than his age, it would have been my loss. He is awesomeness. And for what it's worth, there are no shortages of younger men who like older women. Trust me on that one. It's been one of the weird things I've come to realize as I reentered the single world over the last few years. :lol: What can I say, us gen-xers are great :mrgreen:

But reality is, all of that is irrelevant if you aren't okay with it. So yeah, what is your problem with it? Is it too much for you to get past? If it is, that's okay. It might be worth thinking about though, if you haven't already.

I'm attracted to my older teacher. She's an asian woman in her thirties with a big smile. Doesn't mean i'm going to act on it.

I'm happy for her.

After my divorce the only men I’ve went out with have been younger.

As long as he's of legal age, who's to say he's too young?

I like your name. Maybe you are right. But I’m 52 & he is 35. We are talking on the dating site, he seems to like me.

Thank you :heart:

Age is just a number. Go for it. You seem like a lovely person :D Let me know how it goes, I'm curious how it goes?

Be careful Kitty, there are a lot of fake profiles,scammers, bots and a***holes on those dating sites.

I know because I have recently been doing the same. I almost got myself a mad controlling stalker. Don't ever trust anyone and never tell anyone where you live.

I didn't realise this was a dating site. Read the red flags.
