Is this just too distasteful?

Before I'm jumped on I'm thinking yes it is

I'm late 40s . I don't look my age by any stretch but I am late forties none the less.

I'm single, and on some kind line dating sites .

Had a few dates - nothing special. I'm happy alone tbh .

On one site a very young man has been messaging me. Now I'm not stupid at all - I know he's probably on some top trumps competition for a cougar or something.....but he is very persistent and I actually feel a bit of a connection. I've had loads of young men message and I've dismissed them all . Except this one . He is younger than my kids and I'm thinking just no.....
Yet he seems very clear about what he wants and is quite refreshing. I've been chatting. I should block shouldn't I? I feel like I should be in some register somewhere just for talking to him....

You should have said at the start that he's a bit like Cillian Murphy - that's clearly a free pass situation.

Bluntness100 · 26/04/2020 15:43

that's clearly a free pass situation

Cillian looks like a grown man, he’s 43, he doesn’t look like 21 year old lad. No 21 year old looks like a 43 year old man,

I suspect when the op says a “touch” it’s one most people couldn’t see.

4tplussome · 26/04/2020 15:44

Lol....

Makes no difference. Seriously I know I could not be in a serious relationship with a man half my age - I just enjoyed talking to him. It was never sexual . He seemed interesting. Bit different maybe . Anyway it perked this old girl up no end 😉.

4tplussome · 26/04/2020 15:46

Young cillian Murphy . 😂

No 21 year old looks like a 43 year old man

Anyway for the sake of argument, who needs him to look like a 43 yr old man? He's just need to look like an adult.

He's only after a shag, you know. He knows what he wants. If op shags him, he's gotten what he wants.

And if a 23 yr old woman wanted to shag of date s fifty something man she contacted, cause she liked the look of him (or what he could offer her) they'd be perfectly entitled to too.

*or date

Gemma2019 · 26/04/2020 16:01

21 or 22 (unsure why you changed his age) is a bit much, yes. He's probably lying about it anyway and is actually about 17 and trying his luck!

I think the old "half your age plus seven" is quite a good theory.

4tplussome · 26/04/2020 16:03

Sorry no he is 21. Dunno where 22 came from. Age appears real - he is a uni student. Fairly sure he has been honest. Anyway. Irrelevant. Too
Young !

In all honesty, I had a rule after I broke up with my longterm boyfriend at the age of 28, that anyone under 25 was too immature to go out with. I was right (I broke it once and BOY was I right).

I am 9 years older than my husband, but we didn't meet until he was 27, plus he'd had some life experiences that had added to his maturity (I thought at the time - since revised this opinion as now he's within his mother's sphere he seems to be going backwards if anything Hmm)

I'm not much older than you but the mere thought of anyone under 25 gives me the total heeby jeebies. Maybe 25+ I could consider if I was in the market, but not under 25.

crimsonlake · 26/04/2020 16:12

Yes, give your head a wobble, you are bored obviously and since you cannot meet nothing will come of it. My son is 22 years old....so just no!

peppermintcapsules · 26/04/2020 16:13

There is no way on earth that you or your sons laugh at men and call them "easy" hmm

I regularly call men such and worse. If the shoe fits. My ex was a straight up slag.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 26/04/2020 16:38

My friend's ex-H is definitely easy. He says so himself, even.

Alicatz66 · 26/04/2020 16:46

I'd move on ... you will look like you are out with your son !

4tplussome · 26/04/2020 16:58

What's the insinuation here ? I'm a
Slag ? Easy? I have had the sum total of 2 sexual encounters in my life so not really.

4tplussome · 26/04/2020 16:59

Alicat

No. My sons 7 years older .

I get it ok - get it .

4tplussome · 26/04/2020 21:39

So he's
Found me in a different platform. 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Jane1978xx · 26/04/2020 21:51

I think if they are young enough to be your kid then they are too young

Opaljewel · 26/04/2020 21:58

Do it 😂😂

Iooselipssinkships · 26/04/2020 22:13

Now I'd be worrying that he's 'found' you on a different platform after you said he was too young and blocked him.

Babooshkar · 26/04/2020 22:23

Enjoy yourself OP, there’s enough misery in this world and you’re both adults. B’jeezus there are some joyless bastards on here tonight Grin

inmyshedsmoking2000 · 26/04/2020 22:26

My current fella would've fallen over himself at 22 to get with a fit 48 year old. He likes older women. Always has.

AvalancheKit · 26/04/2020 22:31

Those youngsters are very good with technology. Uploading this and that. You could have 15 minutes of fame on Pornhub. “Fit MILF gets done hard by Cillian Murphy lookalike stepson when hubbie goes to work”.

Go ahead but wear a mask, to cover your eyes mainly (not Coronavirus).

GilbertMarkham · 26/04/2020 22:37

"Fit MILF gets done hard by Cillian Murphy lookalike stepson when hubbie goes to work”.

GrinGrin Brilliant.

(You clearly spend a bit too much time on porn hub as that title is exactly the kind of thing they use).

GilbertMarkham · 26/04/2020 22:39

Yeah op it sounds like you won't but if you do indulge in a little "young Thomas Shelby" fantasy action, make sure it's in your place and there are no recording devices anywhere.
