Advising a younger guy -
So, this guy, early 40s (I know, that's younger, how sad, moving on) he's bright, funny, has good qualifications and a good job which he does well. Plus he has written one reference book which is selling not badly and is working on the next. Keeper, eh?He's never had a successful relationship. I only know his side (obviously) but he goes for very shy sweet girls and after a year or two they get nervous when he pushes for more than a kiss on the cheek goodnight, and they eventually break up. And he is devastated for a while, then gets a crush on another girl.
He wants my advice. Well, obviously, go for girls who are attracted by slightly geeky shy types, and have some experience, and will teach him a thing or three before setting him loose again. Maybe it will even work out, first time out the box.
But WHERE? He jokingly suggested I pimp for him, find him someone blind or insane. Man, this guy's confidence is SHOT. He's a nice guy. Not handsome, but not at all repulsive. Too young for me, (a bit scared of me, too
) but a nice guy. Who will not go on a dating website, of course I suggested that.Ladies? Gents? your advice?
