On the guys dating younger women thing. Yup it's crazy. In the past 3 years my 49 yo almost beau has dated 3 (!) 28-year-old women (!!) . He claims that they pursued him. He spent time with them (a few months each) but didn't plan for it to go anywhere.

Now he says that he "wasted his time" with them because he never saw them as LTR material and he wants to be in a LTR. He doesn't act like he feels that great about those relationships. He got tired of being with women who are in a totally different life stage than him (they didn't get parenthood, didn't have busy lives like he does, not emotionally mature, etc.).

In his defense, he lives in a small community where it could be tricky to meet women of his age...he would know their exes, etc.

Hope your mood improves. hugs
