Is perfect an aim or a curse?

Long story short I’m midlife, divorced generally very happy, got lots of great hobbies, good friends. Single a year after a break up. Through a hobby I’ve met a really nice guy we can spend days doing the hobby together, enjoy each other’s company. I’ve spent a couple of weekends at his place (he lives a few hours away) However… Of course there’s a compromise, he’s 10 years older, physically not my type but actually very good physically.. and kind, considerate emotionally intelligent. I’m so torn I’d really like to give it a go, but also not sure if I’m compromising - but then we all compromise on something right?

Sounds like he could be a slow burner.

Why not just relax and enjoy the time together? Just see what happens - no need for angst over it surely?

Slow burn that’s a thought and yes I do angst over things, I don’t want to lead him on when I am feeling uncertain and I don’t want to fuck up our friendship - bit late to worry about that I think!
