Question - (27 November 2007) 5 Answers - (Newest, 4 December 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hi.A couple of nights ago,i bumped into a man i've seen before, in a nightclub.I last saw him last year and when he saw me then he said he thought i was sexy !.That was the first time i saw him.I was out with my uncle,This man knows my uncle and some more family members.I'm not sure how old he is,maybe late thirties or early forties.When he saw me he said I've seen you before and he got close up so only i would hear what he was saying and he said i just want to say that i think you're a very attractive young lady '.But he said he wasnt taking me on,not sure what he meant by that,and said he would kill me,meaning my uncle would kill him.My uncle is a similar age to him.I didnt get chance to speak to him more,but i would have told him that i have been involved with a man in his forties before,he wont know that.

I was surprised he even remembered me.I wanted to tell him that i was willing to give it a try,or just be mates with him.I'm not sure if i will see him again,but he usually goes where my family goes,so i might see him again.

It definetly gave me a boost and i havent been able to stop thinking about him since.Also,he knows the other older guy i was involved with,i dont know if that matters.

I wonder if i told him that i dont mind about his age,he would change his mind ?

I am 23 by the way.

What do you think about this ?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (4 December 2007):

I think he was unsure how you would react to his hitting on you, so he didn't want you to think that he was hitting on you (even though he was). Or, he wanted to be sure that you knew his comment about thinking you are attractive was a sincere comment. I think he was afraid you might be offended by his hitting on you and might complain to your uncle or other members of your family, who he is friends with, that he was hitting on you.

Regardless of why he said that, it appears that you are both interested in each other, so again, I say go for it and ask him out if you get a chance. Otherwise he may think you are not interested and may not approach you again.

Thanks.I dont have his phone number though, so i will have to wait and see if i see him again.I'm not sure what i will say if i see him.I would like to speak to him though.

Yes,i was attracted to him.

I was confused by his comment where he said he wasnt taking me on, even though he said i was a very attractive young lady .Do you have any thoughts on this ?.I didnt carry on talking to him after that.

Do you find your uncle's friend attractive, or do you think you would enjoy having sex with him? If you are willing to give dating him a try and he is agreeable, I say go for it, and don't worry about what others say. It is normal for you to be attracted to an older man, for many different reasons. As long as you would enjoy going out with him and even having a relationship with him, then go ahead and do it. You could even call him and ask him out yourself. Men love it when women, especially younger women, do this. So I say give it a try and let us know what happens.

Megan Deetes agony auntHi there! I dont think he would be to bothered, however me may worry about your uncle and his friends teasing, if he found you sexy then clearly he has no issue with younger women, however he may not be commited, next time you see him (if you do) make more converstaion and find out some things, then if it feels right drop it in xxx Good Luck xxx
