The problem is that I really like him a lot too! Am I too old for him, and what will my friends and family react to such a large age gap? I have a son who is 11 and he has a daughter who is 13! It's not like I'm out looking for younger guys; they seem to be the only ones giving me the eye! What should I do?

You say you have recently gone through a divorce, maybe you should drop some small hints ant the guy next door. Dont go too fast you may still be healing.

Slow down my love ,if you are not yet divorced ask yourself do you want to come out of the frying pan into the fire. If your younger admirer is serious then make him prove this to you. Get know him better first, organise a social event with other people present and talk to him a lot. If it does turn out to be a good partnership then what anybody else thinks does not matter, life is too short.

Even if you are okay with the age gap, he may have reservations about it; age gaps matters less the older you get, but he is still on the younger end of the gap, so it may seem larger to him. But don't let that hold you back. He may actually prefer older women!

 Go for it, you are an experienced woman, not a young girl who is vulnerable so the age gap should not make much difference and you have kids of similar ages.
