Just stumbled upon this board and thought I would check it out, and I have been reading many great posts here that have helped me feel better about my new love interest!
I am a 21 (will be 22 in 6 days) year old college student. I am a web model. I live on my own, pay my own bills and for school and am pretty independent for the first time in my life, and I really like it. I just started seeing an older man who is a 35 year old police detective. He just got divorced although has been out of love with his ex for ages, and he has a 9 yo girl with her who stays with him occasionally. I have never ever dated anyone older than me so this is totally new, but I really am liking this guy a lot!!
I like the fact that he has interesting life and things to tell me about and teach me. He is responsible, calm and doesnt party or go out all the time like the college boys. I really like that! And I think he enjoys spending time with me because I am youthful and spirited...yet I have a very good head on my shoulders. We are very attracted to eachother as far as physically and our personalities.
We just started dating so who knows where this will lead, I will take it for what it is and enjoy every moment even if it is a short-term thing. He has already asked me to come on a cruise with him and he got the tickets and everything today. I am very excited! I imagine it will be a blast and great to get to spend so much time together without any other worries.
I'm just a little concerned...I guess because he seems to like me so much so fast! Part of me knows it could very well just be infatuation at this point. My roommate is a guy and he is worrying that he is just using me to boost his ego. It bothers me that he would think that, and I wonder if I am being naive by falling for this man so fast when he is so much older than me. I guess my roommate put some doubt in my head about my new man.
I'm just worried he is dating me for selfish reasons. How can I know what his intentions are when all he does is shows me is that he adores and really likes me and is planning a big trip two months in advance with me??
How can he like me SO much, and me like him so much, in only two weeks? He says that he just sees something special in me. I'm afraid of whatever this is! Whether love or infatuation or lust...its exhilarating...but scary too!
