Toy boy and age gaps

I’m 39 years old and last year I split up from my long term boyfriend with things ending on a sour note.

I was in a really bad place filled with spite, anger and loneliness and it was just an awful period of my life. In anger at my ex I downloaded a dating app after drinking to find someone to have a rebound with.

I got chatting to this attractive 25 year old during lockdown in my angry state as I wouldn’t ever consider this had my head been in the right place.

We have been chatting for a two months now and it was fine during lockdown when meeting wasn’t a possibility but now it’s coming to an end I am thinking of asking him to dinner at mine.

AIBU?

There is no future in this relationship and I feel a little guilty with the age gap.

However I also feel after being mistreated in my last relationship it would do me a lot of good. Also he’s an adult and has been very open about the fact he’s happy to have a more sexual relationship as opposed to a ‘real’ relationship.
