How do I let this older man know I am interested without screwing things up?

Question - (14 April 2013) 4 Answers - (Newest, 15 April 2013)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have recently found myself being really attracted to a man I have got to know through social media. We have a lot in common, share lots of interests and there is an age gap of about 20 years.

How do I let this man know I am interested without scaring him off? I'm pretty sure he is interested in me too because of things that he has said to me.

I really need advice because I don't want to balls this up,I have already said that I'd like to get to know him better and maybe take him out for a drink.

Any suggestions would be apreciated.

So_Very_Confused agony auntif he's local then push him... he's probably feeling like a dirty old man as a 20 year gap is pretty big... I myself am an older partner to someone 13 years younger than I am and for me that' plenty to make me feel old.

If he is single and interested and you are single and interested since you are both over 21... have fun

but know that large age gap relationships are always suspect by others (especially parents and children) and he possibly has kids your age or near it....

if all you want is fun and games go for it.

if you want something serious, think long and hard about it.

He already mentioned he was divorced, I didn't ask him anything, he added details into conversation, he also said that he had lots of time for me and that he liked me. I'm not expecting anything grand but I am really attracted to him, he is who he says he is, I know that for certain.

I do know that he is single, yes.

It is hard waiting though. I'm glad somebody else understands. Thank you for responding

Do you know for sure that he is single ?. If so, just let things come naturally when you go for the drink with him.

By the way, i am seeing a man who is 21 years older than i am, so i know what you are going through. We have been together for 16 months. Good luck!.
