I am single with DC. Not planning on having anymore.
My very good friend is ten years younger than me. We are very comfortable with each other and are pretty close. I do find him attractive but never have entertained the idea of us being in a relationship
due to the age gap.
He's thrown a bombshell a few days ago saying he'd really like us to be a couple and he's sort of fallen in love with me. My initial reaction was wtf and I was probably a bit rude! But I was surprised tbh.
Anyway I do really like him and if I was even 5 years younger I wouldn't think twice. My issue is that he's still so young and what if he wants kids down the line. What if I am old and wrinkly and he runs off with a gorgeous young replacement. I'm having all sorts of thoughts of how this can end badly but on the other hand I bloody love him.
I don't want to lose the friendship either if it doesn't work out. He thinks I'm being crazy and overthinking.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
