But may I ask - in retrospect, what do you think was his attraction to you?
Honestly, I wondered the same thing. I never actually told him how old I was, so maybe he thought I was younger. But even if I was 10 years younger that would have been 8 years older than him! LOL It all started with conversation and he was so easy to talk to and I felt comfortable around him. He had spent time in the military, in the middle-east, and he seemed older than his years. Maybe he was attracted to me rather than someone his own age because there was no drama, no neediness. It was fun and easy-going with no long-term expectations. I knew that the job he was working on would be over and he would go back home, and I would say goodbye, don't call, cuz I wasn't going to do long-distance with a man too young for me anyway! But there were times I worried that others would look at us and wonder if I was his mother.....weird!!! And I certainly could not have introduced him to my kids!!! Can't imagine the response from my 23-year old daughter. LOL
