Hi
I haven't had a relationship since my much-loved husband died suddenly 8 years ago. My children are all grown up and I am in my early 50s. Good social life, job etc. I recently met someone who has expressed and interest and while it is at one level lovely to hear and has made me feel different to how I have felt for a long time, I just don't know what to do. He is 9 years younger but I suppose that doesnt matter. I don' t want to clip his wings either. The last email exchange I told him I don't need (as in have to have) a man in my life- maybe he now thinks I am not interested. It is early days getting to know him, but so far it has been all good the time I have spent with him. We seem to have a connection, but I have finally learned to be happy by myself and when I least, literally when I least expected this, this comes along. He is a lovely guy and many would run to be with him I would have thought, so why am I being like this?
