NC because I do every so often but long term poster.
Just for fun, really. When it comes to flirtations or dating (so pre-relationship), what is your deal breaker?
I have something of a crush on a man I'm friendly with and we are both single adults so there's nothing stopping it from going anywhere. However, he went to school with my mum 
he was two years below her so he isn't quite her age, and she was a young mum, and I'm sure there are plenty of relationships with similar or larger age gaps that work very well, but I just cant bring myself to act on it knowing that he literally went to school with my own mother.
The funny thing is that I dont think I'd bat an eyelid at the age gap (15 years) if it was any other man, just not someone my mum would be able to tell me about playground antics.
Also it's entirely likely that he's not seduced by the scruffy 30 year old single mum vibe I'm giving off 
Anyone care to make me feel better about my doomed crushes by sharing some of their own?
