Right,have been single for 3 months after the father of my child,and partner of 12 years left.
I had completely gone off sex for the last 2 years of our relationship,and simply thought that that side of me was gone and buried forever!I felt nothing,and came up with any excuse I could not to sleep with him!
Then I saw a guy where I do my shopping and whoah! Don't ask me what happened there,but I felt such an intense attraction to the guy that it almost floored me!lol

We'd been flirting badly for the last 2 months or so,and even more so since he found out that I was no longer with my ex!
Now,eventually,well,today(!) I just thought-What the heck!,and gave him my number and just said to give me a ring sometime.

What is the problem? Well,I am pretty sure this guy has to be at least 10 years younger than me!
I do look alot younger than my age (often get asked-It must be so hard to be such a young mum,when I 'm in fact in my early 30's!,so they must think I'm in my early 20's or something!),and I guess this guy would probably run a mile if he knew my actual age!lol

It is ok for a guy in his early 30's to go out with a woman in her early 20's,no one would raise an eyebrow,but when the woman is older than the man?

Has anyone else got any experience of dating a younger guy,would you go for it,or just forget it?
I dk how I'd raise my age with him,I don't feel my age at all,but just saying my age makes me feel so old!lol

Too right we are,drives you mad,doesn't it?
I'd just love it if he'd have to eat his words(I don't want anything serious),surely men's feelings can develop even if they don't want them too? But then again,maybe not!

ah well i have been down this route with my exbf

when we met i told him it was only for no strings fun, as had only been split with exh 9m so in no rush to get involved again

but as we saw each other more we ended up falling for each other , and dated for 9m until he emigrated, which was really hard, but i dont regret the time i had with him at all

this weekend was lovely actually, thanks, i didnt spend a penny, he paid for it all

we got back yesterday afternoon and he stayed over til 6am this morning when he left for work, but at 12pm i got a call saying he was coming back and taking the rest of the day off, so he turned up about an hour ago

we talked a lot this weekend and i am going to give us a chance , he said the more time he spends with me the more he wants to spend time with me, and i think he means it this time

if it doesnt work out, well i had some fun along hte way
