I have reached my middle years and now the kids are grown I am dating again! My problem is I have been seeing a very stylish, trendy guy for some time who is compatible with me in all respects! However I told him I loved him in a lighthearted way and my question is: Have I scared him off?

Moondew,

Well, I don't know. Have you scared him off? What makes you think you might have? How did he respond when you told him? Has he become more distant since?

Anyway, why did you say you loved him, even if lightheartedly? What kind of reply were you hoping for? And DO you feel you really do love him?

I have to say this is not something I would say easily. I might enjoy a guy's company; find him attractive, see things about him I like and admire, but real love takes time to develop, as opposed to infatuation.

if youve been with this guy a while and those words scae him (jest or not) hes not the guy to be with.

most women think guys are scared of commitment because of guys like him and its not true at all. does he know you were joking? maybe he thinks you dont actually love him because you were joking..its possible.

but if he runs away because you have feelings then leave him to it.
