Rere, LOL!! Dave was 9 yrs younger than me...when we met I had been separated from my exH for 8mos and in the process of going through the big D. Let me tell you...it was the greatest thing being pursued by him. I had been married for 15yrs. and along comes this gorgeous young man who did anything and everything to try and get my attention...I had no clue that he was flirting with me. In fact it was me that finally asked him out to lunch and the rest is history. So of course I would say being prejudiced of course that it truly is wonderful for your PMA...not to mention that I had my first big O with him....LOL!! Age never was an issue with us...his drinking/depression was our downfall.
But on the other hand I would not bother going to your Hs. When my exH and I were separated he would be hateful and say you don't know what you're doing going through with this D, no one is going to want a single mother with a kid. You're making a mistake...when he met Dave...well let's just say he shut up pretty quickly. There was no comparison...He couldn't hold a candle to Dave nor what we had together.
You are not doing this necesarily to get him jealous...trust me he'll see the smile and glow on your face and let it be at that...Just enjoy yourself and if it works out great have a nice date and if not, trust me there are plenty of men out there. I am 42...and I thought that it would be tough...yes it is meeting men my age it appears...however, my nickname these days is Mrs. Robinson...just ask my friends, if there is a young one, that will be the one attracted to me. Age is just a state of mind...it's more of what you are looking for and how well you get along and if you have what it takes to make it in the long run. The man that I am currently speaking with is actually older than me...and almost 20yrs older than Dave...so while you might think that there is a difference there...haven't noticed it a bit. Age truly is just a state of mind...
