Make a Move?

I am a 19 year old college student and I am very smitten with a 35 year old man who has 2 small children. We both regularly attend a social group held in several churches around my hometown. I have had a couple small conversations with him and I have reason to believe he is interested in me. I think about this man several times during the day, and I am trying to figure out how he has, shall we say, "gotten under my skin." :)

My question is, should I pursue this any further? Part of me thinks I should find a guy my age to date, but I like this man very much. I also don't know what everyone would say! (my parents, the others in the group, his friends, etc.)

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE WONDERFUL! THANKS! ;)

hi runner! WELCOME! You will find this board very inviting and loving. Stick around.

As for your situation. I would personally try it. Try to figure out if he has feelings for you. Make subtle hints to him if you think it's true. Personally I would not be able to go my whole life wondering what would have happened if I tried something with the OM.
A big part of being in an age gap relationship is dealing with ALL of the things that come a long with it. You may not like some of them, but for the most part it is bliss. To find someone that you can share your love with is wonderful.

Like Rolls said, no one can make this decision but you. We can give you as much as advice as we can but when it comes down to it, it is only you. Trust yourself. I believe in fate and destiny so whatever you choose is the right decision for you.

GOOD LUCK!

Love,

Thanks for your input. When I get up enough courage, (which has always been a problem for me!) I will approach him. As I recall from previous conversations with others in our social group, he has a jealous ex-wife (only 1 year his junior, I believe).

SO...

I can't even be sure if he would want a "serious" relationship, or just a young girl to have as "arm candy." (Sorry to put it that bluntly, but that does happen). Also, this is unfamiliar territory for me, so to tell my parents that I have taken a liking to him might change their feelings about me. YIKES :confused:

Hey Runner and Welcome To ageless!!!!!!!


Well First off you need to figure out if this age "issue" is such an Issue.... My husband is 45 and I am 28!!!! I love him with all my being and I am pregnant having our first baby......So I think it wouldn't be such a bad thing to give this guy a chance...... You need to overcome the "age" thing because it really isn't that bad ....... You need to love or like him for him and not his age... It is not tatooed to his forehead right??? So Good Luck do what's good for you ok... your heart will figure it out!!!
