Quote From: rclowerReading this segment promo, makes me worry about my relationship. I am 47 he is 67. I have never been married, he has been married twice before. We've gone out once and I am feeling anxious about this. I feel like I am dating out of my league but I don't exactly have men my age beatting down the door for me. On our 'date' he tells me he thougth I was in my 30's. So I am wondering if he asked me out because he thought it would look good on his belt to have a much younger woman or if he really likes me for me. I am not sure what I feel for him. This is the first date I have had in years and I am clueless. My sister asked me how was my date with grandpa, so, i am not sure this is a great idea. - ramona
If you truly love him or think you might one day, then don't let someone else talk you out of it just because they make jokes or don't agree with the age gap. Don't allow that seed of doubt to be placed in your mind. I made that mistake and I can't tell you how miserable I am because of it! I fell deeply in love with a man twice my age (27 and 56) and when my family found out they made me break up with him. I told him goodbye in April 2008 and everyday I regret letting my entire family have that control. I still talk to him occasionally, but I'm so afraid of getting caught. I live inferior of my family now.
I have cerebral palsy and suffered with seizures from 3 to 9 years old. I was always delayed in anything I did. I didn't crawl until I about 9 months, I didn't walk until 16 months, I got my license at 18, the legal age is 16. My parents took me out of public school and home schooled from the 6th-12th grade because I got made fun of alot in the 5th grade. So, I didn't socialize all that much once that happened. Now, at 27 I don't have a career/job and I still live with my parents. I've like tons of guys but never had a boyfriend, until this man. For whatever reason it would humiliate me if my family found out I liked someone. I know it is because of my medical history and inexperience in the dating scene that my family is so protective. But there comes a time when they have let you find out who YOU WANT TO BE as an individual, right? I can't make them understand that. Anyway, this whole experience has opened my wider than they ever been. I've decided to put myself out there and start looking for a career so I can make it on my own one day. I typed up a resume, not a very good one I might add, and I'm going around to all the local Dr. offices. By my family forcing me to give this man up, it has caused me to really take a closer look at my life and realize the necessary things that need to happen for me to have my own life won't ever happen unless I make them happen. That's why i'm seeking a career and hopefully a life of my own. Maybe one of these days our paths will cross again and we'll get a second chance.
