There is a guy from work, there has been some flirting going on between us for a while until I found out he was in a relationship, he then split from his girlfriend a few weeks back and moved back to his mums, it was along time coming, gf was abusive and so on. Last week I asked him out for a drink, not really a date as it wasn't just the 2 of us, he stayed at mines, we kissed nothing more, yet. I can't get him out my head and I know that he's keen too.
I'm 24, have 3 kids, my partner (kids father) passed away. He is 48 with 1 child, he is only 2 years younger than my parents and my parents know him too. I've never had a relationship with anyone older than me, they have always been the same age. I don't know whither to see how things go between us or to cut it off before we get emotionally attached, I'm scared because even though I do really like him, what if when we start to get into a proper relationship and I then freak because of the age difference and hurt him or the other way about.
Just looking for some experiences from people who have maybe been in a relationship with a big age gap or know people who are??
Should I go for it or run for the hills ???? Help!!!!
