Big age difference--I'm afraid of being rejected so I don't show how I feel

Tagged as: Age differences, Dating<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (30 April 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 7 May 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have met somebody who I find completely lovely in every way. He is funny, really smart, he makes me smile all the time, and we share a lot of the same interests, I feel like we kind of have a connection but I'm not sure if he feels the same way.

Normally I would be a little flirty, test the water a bit to see if he might feel the same. But this time I've frozen, because he is quite a bit older than me, 14 years.

Although it's completely legal, I feel like morally it could be frowned upon by my peers and others. But not in my eyes, I believe that if something makes people happy and doesn't effect anybody else then how can it be morally wrong?

But I don't know how he feels, sometimes I think he may reciprocate my regard but I always end up convincing myself that he would never because of the age difference.

And so I'm too afraid of the rejection to show him how I feel.

I need advice on what to do, because I really like this man, I enjoy his company and he makes me happy whenever I see him.

Thanks for reading :)

clairebear agony auntHey,

Would just like you to know I was in your position (so much so that I could have wrote this question!) about six months ago and I took the risk. Things are going great and I wished I did it sooner. Good luck!

P.S. he's 14 years older than me too!!

goowes agony aunt Never stop yourself out of fear of rejection. Learn how to master that issue first, second he is more life ahead than you, make sure he sees you as equal and you can communicate over long period of time together, He may grow weary of the connect if ths physical aspect grows less bright and make sure he doesn't think he can rule you becauae you have less life experience or skills because he could you know. What is his character like, protect and consider yourself first. If he's that easy to lose he's not that worth keeping.
