Do I sleep with him?

I (F47) have 3 beautiful children whose father I am amicably divorced from for about 3 years. I recently attended a party and met a lovely gentleman who I will call Paul (fake name) we enjoyed a kiss at the end of the night and he has expressed an interest in seeing me again.....

He seems unwilling to want to go out somewhere e.g a bar or restaurant, and wants me to go over to his house instead. This feels rather forward and he has insinuated that we would have sex. While he is a lovely guy, he is significantly younger than me (24) 😱. From our conversations he does seem to want to be involved in my kids life though - he is not looking to have any of his own.

Please advise. thanks.

I did not sleep with the gentleman. I explained my thoughts to him and he understood and was very respectful. Regardless of the accusations that he is a 'conman' or 'just a kid' he is not, we have continued to date, and while he has not yet met my children (although he is my son's rugby coach😅) we are making positive steps towards this goal.

Bullshit. It's been a week!

Clearly he wants one thing. A lot of younger men like the idea of sex with an older woman. If he was trying a bit harder he would at least meet you for a drink.

He’s just wanting to live out his MILF fantasy. If you’re ok with that then crack on

He's only talking to you so he can sleep with you and brag to his mates about having sex that's double his age

There isn't any chance I'd have relations with someone that much younger!!

If they were interested in me I'd assume curiosity, thinking I was 'easy' because of my age (40s), or a very slim possibility they had a temporary crush.

Oh god... please don't. My mum did this... hooked up with a much younger man when I was just a teen. It was awful. She was a laughing stock. I got ridiculed at school. Please don't put your kids through it... it's hell.

He just wants a shag. Is it really worth your relationship with your children?

He's 24. It won't work. You may be lonely somehow but you need to catch onto yourself. I knew a guy at Uni and as horrible as this sounds, he said some women metaphorically have 'Victim' tattooed on their foreheads, and no-good men spot them a mile off and use them for whatever they choose. Yes sleep with him if you want some fun but have no expectations beyond that. & keep him away from your kids FFS

No I would not sleep with someone after such a short period of time.

You can't keep planning to introduce your kids to him soon when he's only a sex fling (if it happens).

Do you always do this?
