lol Firas...it's ok...I've made my decision not to. Too many doubts to consider it, quite honestly. And doubt is, at times, your inner gut that says...welllll maybe this isn't such a good idea. Maybe it's right.
Simmo.........In the end, I make my own decisions. I was just never confronted with a situation like this and was just curious to what others would have done in my shoes. I'm not looking for anyone to either agree or disagree with me. Everyone views things differently and I was just trying to see some of those views.....and I have. It was an interesting discussion for me. Thanks.
Fun....yes, with the fact that lies are also involved here has me concerned a bit. Because I don't know if he was lying when he said 70...or if my friend was lying when he said the man was lying about his age. Way too confusing there
lol parti.....too bad you couldn't ask me that a while back.......where I used to live, I had a woman who lived next door to me...was 103. The woman still cooked for herself....worked in her flower garden...etc. Her daughter would check on her a couple times a week and this woman was so sweet....she loved it when my kids would go over there and help her with the work outside.
Sally.......from what my friend had told me, this man was lying about his age because he was trying to judge my character....apparently women have used him in the past for his money, etc etc....and it was a test? I don't know....for all I know, my "friend" could have lied about that altogether. Pretty sad when I don't know who's telling the truth here.....this is what happens when people lie, and I hate that. The "friend" I had mentioned, I've only known him for a few weeks to a month.....so I don't really trust him either. Well either way, I said no and that is that lol. Just too many doubts to let them slide. Thanks for your input!
Well lipsee....I try not to go lower than 10 years my junior or higher than 10 years my senior....fair enough, no? But I'm sure there may be exceptions to the rule, though....I just haven't come across any just yet.
Glat....yes it is. It's not even the point that he looks 45-48 but is 70....no, the looks isn't the issue. The way of thinking between people in such a generation gap....very different. Well JMO anyway. I've said before, when I date, I don't judge by looks at all....it's the "connection" and I just don't have that connection with a man who's 30 years my senior. ...difficult to explain
Prima.....I don't usually like putting myself in a predicament like that because what if it becomes a bit onesided and he starts to feel an attraction that I don't. That is just an awkward situation in itself, no?
Robrt....I'm sure many have been in the rejection boat more than they've wanted to. I know I have. I usually do try to do what's right for me, but in this case, I don't know what it is. Maybe my doubt is my gut telling me what is right for me and I should abide by that.
Not over the hill Franki......but for a 39 year old? I do take interest in men that are older than me as well as younger...for instance, I can be attracted to a man that's 49....but about 10 years ago, I'd look at a man that was 49 and would not view him the same as I do today. Does that make sense?
lol robrt....I knew I'd get some comments like this. I'm sorry, really...I'm sure it makes me sound awful. But it is quite an age difference. I mean....if I was 50, I may even consider it....but I'm not even 40 yet....almost, but not quite yet. How can two people, a generation apart, possibly have anything in common?
I have observed much with my kids franki...I have one that observes others but for the most part makes his own path accordingly......I have one that follows the herd with the rest of the sheep.....and the last that goes out of his way to charge through that herd, telling all the rest of the sheep to step aside! ...and thank you.
Hi mary....unfortunately for most, that is true. I, however, would be the one to stop and listen a while, applaud, and leave money for a wonderful performance. But I also love music and have great admiration for those who have the talent to express it.
Funny.....point of the blog somewhat proven....50 views (people that just walked by) but no one to join in the experience. But yet....feeding on the drama instead human nature is amazing.
Oh Irish, I can't even count the number of times I've practically fell in because the seat wasn't put back down.....or sittin on a wet seat cuz they forgot to lift it....now that gets my blood boilin lol
I just had to blog for opinions on this....
