Friends:

I am being pursued by a 40-year old who says age doesn't matter, he doesn't even care that I am fat, homely and mean as a snake.

What shall I do?

Catty (who is tempted but s-c-a-r-e-d!)

Who cares about age! If you like him go for it. You could at least see if you could have a good time together and if it doesn't work into anything serious you may have found you a good friend. We can all use more of them. wink

I agree with Sam. What difference does age make in mature adults? If you are curious, go out on a date and see if you enjoy yourselves. Statisticlly, women live much longer than men, so the age difference could be a really good equalizer. :-)

My aunt fit the description of yourself above and was a wealthy woman being pursued by a younger man who turned out to be a con artist. She is now flat broke. I hope this isn't your circumstance and that you have found true love. I only provide this as a caution - we kind of like you around here!

'Fuse, that is the sweetest thing anybody has said to me in a long time. Thank you. I don't have any money, so it can't be that. And thank you, too, Sam and Oceangurl, your thoughts were my thoughts. Mike and I (oddly enough, we have the same last name!) went for lunch today and then to the park to sit on a bench. We talked and laughed non-stop for 3-1/2 hours! He is unbelievably gorgeous, sweet and funny. He calls me "mom" and I call him "son." Well, I won't bore you with too much of this, but yes, I am going for it. Wish me luck!

Thank you, TIE, and thank you all. I will keep you posted as to how this turns out.

I honestly don't know what I would do without the support I receive on this site. It is wonderful to know you can go somewhere and unload your deepest fears and get advice from the biggest bunch of caring, intelligent people gathered in one spot that I have ever come across. Thank you all so much!

Wow, I mean, who wouldn't want a guy who can accept them for who they are! Sounds like a keeper to me! Most men I've met just want some mindless concubine to do their bidding. Once they find out you have a brain they become controlling and domineering. If this guy's different and you've found Mr. Right don't let him go!

Jenn, I have no intentions of letting go of him until I'm so feeble I can't follow him around, looking up his tree. Thank you for your post.

By the way, quit being so hard on yourself. From your post, you have a great sense of humor and I bet are good at conversation too. You are probably a lot of fun to be around. I bet you are the only one concerned about your weight and looks, which I bet aren't half bad.

I have no idea how old you are catty. This means that your personality is such that age doesn't matter. I have only known you like 2 weeks and I think you are great, I can just imagine what a healthy guy looking for some attention would think of you wink wink

If it makes you feel any better, I'm older than my husband, and his mother is quite a bit older than his stepfather. It has yet to matter big grin

Thank you, Flower! As a matter of fact, this little romance has come to an end. My friend lost the job that brought him into my area so I won't be seeing him again. So that's that. I'm not upset - I always knew it had to end, it was just too good to be true. Oh, well!

Oh, I do know that feeling all too well Catty. It seems like when you aren't looking, you seem to stumble upon something good. So it didn't last forever. Take what happiness out of life you can! There will be more.
