Ellie: I can't understand why you would be interested in a 27 year old. He is nowhere near your level of maturity. He sounds like a flake - not untypical of many his age on a dating site.

I am the same age as you and have 2 sons - 28 & and 31 - I think they'd freak if I was dating someone their age. Have you told your kids? Not that it is really their business but I just think they'd be uncomfortable.

I know it is not by business but I have met you and I believe you are strong, intelligent and beautiful. I think it would take a really experienced, distinguished and worldly man to live up to you. Why waste your time worrying about why a kid didn't get back to you.

Just my observation for what its worth.
