Is this normal in a relationship??

Question - (22 January 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 22 January 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've fallen for a good friend of mine (we've known each other for about five years; I'm in my mid-20s and he's around 50 - he's not marred and not in a relationship).

We've hung out sometimes for lunch or coffee and are really flirting back and forth: he's always looking at me in the eyes and once he stopped talking and we gazed in each other's eyes for several seconds, which felt wonderful. We laugh a lot and just frankly enjoy each other's company. I'm sure he at least has an idea I really like him as I'm extremely shy (as is he) and when I talk to someone I like I blush. The last time we met he decided we can just meet him at his house the next time I'm home (which won't be until the summer). I'm thinking of asking him if he wants to visit me for a few days during easter break.

My question is that when we're together or talking on the phone, he is in such a good-sounding mood and smiles and laughs and flirts all the time; the time together just flies by. But I always have to initiate everything - calling him, emailing him, etc. He's a college prof so I'm sure he's quite busy, but is this normal in a relationship? Does he truly like me? I have to admit (if we actually do it) the invite to his house was a first.

first of all, if you say this guy is 50, I think there's a big age gap (25 years) which is alot in my opinion. I'm glad you like him, but I've frankly never met someone in their twenties who was interested in an old man (yes old), but I guess to each his/her own. I hope all is well with you and he is nice to you. If you like him, go for it, it's your life after all.
