Question - (23 December 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 3 January 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and this guy met on a dating site,started chatting and exchanged numbers.We decided to meet.Im 20 and he is 31.When he saw me he said I was perfect and I liked his very genuine sweet personality and he was quite good looking,after meeting up a few more times it was clear that we got on like a house on fire.

Anyway after about a week it shows that he really,really likes me and says he wants a serious relationship and he wants me to move in with him,and that me and his son from a previous relationship are his world.

Do you think that this is infatuation and it will wear off? or do u think it could work bearing in mind the age gap and his baggage?

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

Your thoughts are very much appreciated.

im in a relationship with a man 11 years older than me and he has a 4 year old son he hasnt pressured me into taking his son on but in all honesty im looking foward to him putting his trust in me to help him bring his son up. we get on fantastically and things work well i think things could work out well but you need to decide how much you love him because it wont just be him you hurt in the future.

Sometimes we miss red flags when they're waving in our faces...I'm concerned that he may be a controlling type as he's pushing you for a serious step this soon..there's no harm in waiting awhile if he likes you as much as he says...does he respect your need to take it slower? Is he looking for an instant mom for his son? How recently did he and the child's mother split up? Just take things SLOW..good luck!

How long have you known him? A week? Slow down there. The age gap and baggage aren't a problem. But you need to take your time getting to know him. He may want a serious relationship, but he's hurrying you too quickly. It takes more than a week to get to know someone, let alone move in with them. the fact you're here asking this question means you know it's a little too soon. Take more time getting to know him, then decide what you want in the future.
