Asked On A Date... By A 50 Year Old...

[Pricey]

i'd probably of gone out with my undle if my aunt hadnt gotten to him first! Lol.

OK, this uncle stuff is a bit weird, no?

Other than that, up to you, I dont think your fate should be decided on an internet forum.

Always good to get other people's opinions though when you are unsure

 

[Fraggles]

I'd say do what feels right, I have an upper age limit of what im comfortable with if this guy matches up to what you are comfortable with then why not. A date isn't a promise to anything else just take it slow and see how the date goes. It may turn into a really good friendship or it may blossom into more. You wont know how the water feels till you dip your toe in there.

 

[nicholatmn]

I say do it! There's no harm with dating older men.

Why is the uncle stuff weird?

He married my mothers sister a couple of years ago and i think he is fab and we get on really well! Yeah he is technically my uncle (by marriage though, not blood) and i've always told my auntie if she ever divorses him i'm snatching him up! Lol.

And i trust and respect a lot of the girls on this forum, it's nice to hear their opinions and thoughts. This isn't just an interent forum to me, it's a home from home, a place i get loads of support - which is very important when you're a single mummy! But don't worry, i don't expect you to understand that

 

[Kate&Lucas]

Did you reply?!? I'm dying to know

How come? This is a single "parents" forum... does being a single daddy not count? I can't say I registered here for the general chat.

 

[faun]

He sounds lovely i would go out for dinner as it may be the start of an amazing friendship or more if you both want it.

 

[Mumof42009]

Go for it hun, what have you got to loss really. Let us all know how you got on xx

Yeah single daddies count, but i still dont expect you to understand my position as i feel this is a home from home and you clearly dont feel like that as you've just called it an internet forum. so how can i expect you to understand that when you've made it clear you dont?

Did you reply?!? I'm dying to know

I did reply but i just avoided it lol, told him i'm on the cambridge diet so eating out is definitly a no no! Which is probably for the best as im really busy right now...

I think he got the hint as he started talking about other things. I haven't quite made up my mind yet but i will text him again if i do!!

 

[lou_w34]

Ive just seen your ticker! Youve lost 14lbs!!!!! Well done
xx

 

[bloodbinds]

Hehe :-D (so proud!) You can tell as well, just had an ex text me saying he spotted me out and about the other day and you could tell i've lost weight! Whooooo! Lol.

 

[EternalRose]

I would go for it hun, Ive always liked older blokes too. Im 24, and my partner is 37.

 

[DivaSatanica]

Why don't you just go out for coffee or something if you're concerned about the dinner part? Doesn't necessarily have to be a "love interest" type of situation, seems like you guys get on well and starting out as friends leaves out the uncomfortable part?!

Yeah i am thinking about this, maybe just go out as friends and see how we get on - but i don't want him to think i'm leading him on!

 

[MummyJade]

just text seeing as you 'cant eat' how about a coffee... you can take little lady with you so its not like a proper date.. x

 

[AshOllie]

Do it! How are you ever going to know what could be if you don't give it a go? Make it clear that you aren't expecting to start a full on relationship so you aren't leading him on if you decide that it isn't really what you want. I have never had an issue with age gaps, age is nothing but a number and I have gone out with guys who are quite a bit older than me too. I think they are more mature and sensible than guys your own age are, or is this just the type of guys I pick up? He sounds like a good guy and gets on with your LO too so that good. Give it a go

 

[TattiesMum]

He looks like he's got a nice bod for 50yo

Do it, what have you got to lose? Its not as if he's asking you to marry him, worst comes to worst you can just bin him off

Age doesnt bother me though, hubby is 11 years older than me!!

LOL PP .... my DH turned 50 this year - he works out, has a 32 inch waist and a bum like a firm peach .... He looks better than most 30 odd year olds

Go for it Pip - age really IS just a number ... I'm 45 and you don't have any trouble relating to me do you?

 

[emmajane]

I also think go for it. No harm in seeing whether you like him or whatever.

Plus I look the fact you are dressed like a banana when you are talking to him. Made me really giggle when I saw the picture!

 

[lisabee]

There is a saying that I know of "better being a old mans darling than a young mans slave"

He doesnt look 50, I say go for it, whats the worst that can happen!!
