I have liked someone that I saw each day for six weeks to speak too. . We were both on a course at the same time and have since moved on and just have a Facebook link (no conversation had happened though on there) I presumed it wouldn't last and it was just a crush. but he had made comments when we were in touch and it was clear he was flirting with me. So a few weeks ago after a drink I plucked up the courage to message him. My feelings were not fading. I ended up telling him I had liked him for ages and I thought he was really refreshing. I was lucky as he came back with very similar things. He said he hadn't made a move on me because he is older (45 and I'm 29). I was thinking he was late 30s so the gap is higher than I thought. But the feelings are already there.
We've ended up talking loads this week. Phone calls. Messages. He is so lovely. Often the first to message me in the morning. Keen to chat throughout the day when he can. Last night we we were messaging for hours and I found out some quite deep things about his life. He's been single for two years after a ten year relationship ended.
He keeps saying he can't believe how lucky he is that we are talking. Saying he fancied me instantly. But also he has told me he's never done one night stands. He couldn't just have sex once and wouldn't want to rush those things. He's been in a very dark place six months ago and his Facebook backs that up that he had help.
Anyhow. He has also said things like he's happy single. But last night he said he's starting to think of moving on and he does miss being with someone and having sex. He's very able to talk about everything. He's not constantly on about sex. He's interested in me and what I'm doing. He is nice in general. He's not asked me for rude pictures or anything. So all is quite positive.
But im a single mum of a young boy. He's a dad to 18-20 year old girls. Which again feels like we are at different stages. Plus I feel if would be a weird situation to be so near to his daughters ages.
I'm just not sure. I've not been involved with anyone for ages. Whilst I feel I deserve things for myself again and I really like him I just can see so many snags. The fact we are at such different stages in life for one.
But despite everything I really really like him. I also don't know how to stop now knowing he's been really unwell six months ago I don't want to hurt him.
I think I'm not in the real world with any of it. I have my son 24/7 too. So I can't just go meeting up with him. So what do I do?
Any advice.
