There's a man I have been seeing casually. That works well for both of us. I have a DC, not long out of a long relationship, busy with work, enjoying life. He is younger (10 years) and is also busy with work, but moreover he has some proper issues with love and all that and prefers to keep things casual.
So we get on very well. We have great dates, hot sex, have fun together, cuddle, watch films and generally just are happy but we don't talk about the future but we get on well and it seemed to me like we were becoming less casual and I like him and was open to seeing where it went.
Last night he said to me "I think if I wanted a proper girlfriend it would be quite hard to find one", and it was said in a way that pretty much stated he didn't see me as a potential actual girlfriend.
We have great sex, get on like a house on fire and I know I posess all the qualities he likes and finds sexy and appealing in a woman (like my drive and humour) and I was really quite suprised he said that.
Do you think it's because I am older and have a DC?
I felt quite put out that he sees me as good enough to shag but not good enough to be with and felt really offended!
