Toria agony auntI feel age only matters to the people in the relationship, if it isn't an issue for you or him then it shouldn't make a difference to what happens between you both.

I wouldn't get your brother involved as it is his boss and if your brother is the one that kind of sets it up then it'll be your brother that takes the flack if something goes wrong.

Surely you can talk to him after your son's football training if nothing comes of it after a few goes of this try a little light flirting and see if he flirts back, if he does and he hasn't asked you out then maybe you should ask him yourself... What have you got to lose???

If you are 25 dear and have a son who is over 8 years old, I would surmise you have gained a good, mature outlook on life and you are a responsible adult who can make independent decisions on her own. I do have a rule of thumb that I believe in when it comes to age gap relationships and that is: First of all, both people should be old enough to have experienced life. Both people should definitely be legal adults, which you both are. Secondly, neither you or him should have any apprehensions or baggage about this age gap. Both of you should be single and unattached (make sure he isn't married) And finally, the two of you should have a connection between you two, that will make you absolutely right for each other. Sometimes, age-gap relationships can take on a 'parent-child' dynamic..make sure this doesn't happen. In other words, respect and compatability will be a must. So you get to know him first. You do not ask your brother to hint around, that's silly and immature and such a 'high school' thing to do. You do the mature thing and approach him yourself. (maybe after a football practise, you strike up a conversation) Ask him out for a coffee and get to know him, as a friend and take it slow. See where it goes from there. Good luck, hun and have fun!
