The Temple of Doomed Relationships

Okay, how old are you?

Age is not that big of a deal, its more about the connection anyway.
24, I did the math at least a 15-16 age difference, basically a full teenager. It's a combination with the guy being divorced and my age that's really making it feel weird. Like if anything were to happen I would feel like the busty 21 year old blondie who he left his previous wife for.

He wants to take me out tonight, and I have no clue what to say.

Why would you feel like that, are you a busty blonde?

If he is attractive your chances of having a good time are just the same, regardless of his age.

Go out and see what he is like. Don't be afraid of taking a risk.

Come on, you only live once. Do you really have something so much better to be doing that a date with this guy would take you away from? You got nothing to lose, go for it.
 
I'm not sure why it's just how I feel, and strawberry blonde with a cup size bigger than Debra Messing.

I'll probably call him and go out, but I think it might be better if I talked about my concerns with him.
 
Well there's this girl that I'm sort of interested in. She's part of the stage crew in the play that I'm in, and she was just promoted to stage manager so I see her at most rehearsals. The problem is she's a freshman in college, and tomorrow I'm turning 23, so that would make me 5 years older than her. Everyone that I've talked to has said that I shouldn't even be looking under 20, which I can agree with to some extent. But I don't know, maybe there's potential here. I'm just worried that I might look creepy if I go after her, or if she would even want to date someone older. Bad enough I liked a freshman when I was a senior in high school and that didn't really go down as planned.


That's not bad. I think 18 is socially acceptable for someone in their twenties. Anything lower I think would be inappropriate. As for other age gaps the highest I would go is ten years. I dated a woman who is eight years older when I was 25. Her best friend was 30 and dating a 50 year old. He would demean her and act as a father figure at times. She starting using him for his money and cheating.
My girlfriend in high school was two years younger. That became embarrassing and it wasn't something I planned . I used to get a lot flack for it , especially from our parents(except her mother). We wound up splitting when I joined the military but got together briefly after that.

So....

I was talking to a former wrestler on POF, even asked her about my headscissor fetish and explained to her how it's not sexual...her final response and I quote "Umm never in ur life"

Stings....I could only think of how I'm glad I have my Pagan faith, a Godless one, but still a Pagan, nature based faith. Go ahead and make fun of me, but it's what I thought.
 
Um how soon in talking to her did you bring up your fetish?

ummmm ARE you a busty blondie? if so, feel free to post pics or it didn't happen :o

check it out, he didn't leave his wife for you, and really, as long as you're having a good time and all the cards are on the table, I don't see an issue here . . . you think he's 1. good looking 2. mature 3. he has a good job; those are all awesome things . . . plus, just have a good time, no need in thinking too hard about being exclusive just yet
 
Just got big discussion with my mom about life in general. She still has it in her head that she did me a favor asking me to come help her with my step-dad when he got sick. :doh:

She just doesn't understand that I left all my friends and put myself into a bad situation with my job to come live with her. She also seems to think it is my responsibility to help her out financially when she gets in a bind, but won't even cut back on her smoking and her Pepsi drinking to make sure she can meet those obligations.

Her thinking is I should be grateful to fix her food, walk her dogs, pick her up off the floor when she falls, and pay her more money once I finish paying off the credit card debt I have.

Sorry, just needed to vent. I love her to death, but sometimes her mindset is completely foreign to me.

If it makes you feel better, my dad didn't even tell me I had a stepmom, or that he was dying. So at least you know. At least she wants you there.

Well, like I said, I had a crush on a guy who turned out to be 52, when I was 23. I would have put him at 39-40, he just completely didn't look his age! And that age would have been fine for me, it's not too old at all.

I had no idea what to do about it when I found out how old he actually was, because I knew in my head is was much to old. Old enough to be my dad old, you know?

But we'd been flirting loads and I couldn't stop feeling attracted to him.

I asked a few people about it, and i'd give you the same advice they gave me.

Just try it.

If you go out/hook up and it feels unnatural, then you end it. But you'll never know until you try.

I went out for drinks with the guy, and went back to his and we fooled around a bit. I was incredibly attracted to him, and it really is a shame he wasn't younger... but when he mentioned he might need to take some viagra I got this massive wake up call that it was most DEFINITELY too old for me :hehe:

But I don't regret trying it out. I don't think you should be afraid to do something your unsure of, especially if it's because of what other people think.

I feel you. V-Day, known as D-Day for single people is coming up is not putting me in a good mood.

I've never once had a date or a boyfriend on V-Day :(

I was given one card once, from this really weird guy in school, and it was a valentines card with a baby pig in a heart... just bizarre... you don't give a girl a picture of a pig for valentines day!

I plan to ignore the days existence again this year :)
 
Hopeful,

I gave a woman a box of candy or something on V-Day in 2008 at Walmart...got her number, but it was sadly downhill. :( and as much as I hate to admit it, I love her...but it's never going to work out or happen.

I think I'll write a poem or song about my feelings. Got me a new notebook. Mostly will be used for Pagan poems, poetry, songs, but I'll write other poems and what not in there. Last night or early this morning I wrote a song about my self injury problems. Instead of hurting myself, I wrote a song instead. I can thank my Paganism for that, cause...well, I just like to write now since I've been a Pagan.

Really you're Pagan? :huh:

Yes...some may not call me a true Pagan. I worship Mother Earth...see our Gods as metaphors for the seasons. I was not long ago Christian, but it just was not working. So I have faith, just a Godless one. I've written poetry in the poetry thread on here.
 
No, it's because you mention it ALL the time now.

Thanks for the helpful advice, but I don't know whether to giggle or give you the tilted head "are you doing okay" look at the bolded part. :oldrazz:

As for my guy, we went on our first date. I thought he wanted to go out for dinner, but then he surprised me by wanting to make us dinner. I thought "aw, that's sweet" but after a few minutes of looking a little clueless in the kitchen I decided to help him. We made an Italian dinner with tortellini. He brought a bottle of sparkling cider and we just talked most of the time. He said he likes me cause I challenge him. We sometimes argue over legal cases. I think he disagrees with me just to make me mad.

After dinner, I wanted to go out to a nearby park and walk around for a bit. He tried to be all gentleman-like and said he would "escort" me. I thought it was lame and we just laughed. So we're walking and holding hands and I asked him if you see this going anywhere. He says he would like it to go somewhere. And I tell him I would like to take things slow. He says he understands and just looks at me like he's going to kiss me. That's when he leans, I stop him. I didn't want a kiss just yet.

We sit down at a bench and we talk more about past relationships. He tells me his wife was his first love and they got married when he was only 19. They grew apart. I didn't know what to say, so I said "well that sucks." At first I thought he was going to be angry or hurt by it, but then he looked at me and he just started laughing about it and agreeing that yeah it sucked.

He walks me back to my place and he tries to kiss me again, I don't let him. Instead, I know I stole this from HIMYM, I did the whole lead up to the kiss thing. We didn't kiss but we settled on a hug that lasted a little longer than expected and said good night. He wants to spend Valentine's Day with me.
 
I know. It's just that I turn to this board. For support and advice. But..I know I need to...keep it on the down low.
It's not necessarily keeping on the down low but more so pushing it on everyone.

Who was the former wrestler that you were talking to?
