Age gap

[Shootingstar1111]

I’ve recently joined hinge after 3 years of being single. Before that I was in a very toxic relationship for 9 years which took me a long time to get over..
a guy “liked” my profile and first look he looks lovely, handsome and going off his bio really funny. Then I saw his age 27!! I’m 37!
I replied saying I was flattered but the age gap feels too much.. he’s been lovely and said age is just a number etc and would love to take me out.
My profile makes it clear I’m only open to dating, I have 2 children and a full time job so a relationship is not something I want but company is, someone to go for meals with, cinema dates etc. He is the same as his long term relationship finished in December.
My friend thinks I should go and have some fun and if neither of us are looking for long term then it doesn’t matter but the age gap freaks me out and I don’t know why! If he was 10 years older than me then I wouldn’t care!
what would you do?

I think it’s fine for what you’re after. Nothing to lose by meeting up and see if you click.

I think it’s fine if you’re compatible, in 20yrs it’ll be even less significant

Definitely 👍 I’d go for at least a coffee. You never know-why can’t a woman have a fling with a younger man?? Enjoy!

The golden rule to remember is that is perfectly acceptable providing your not a man.

A woman of 50 dating a man of 25 no problem, a man of 50 dating a younger woman is always a no.

Remember, he pays for everything too.
