A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

OK so there is this chap I like he is around 20 years older than me.

I have always liked older men and my ex was 21 years older than me except it faded and we both went our seperate ways.

It was someone else that first said that this man might like me because of his staring and gaping (mouth open kind). I said don't be so daft a man that hot and intelligent would never like me. Plus that week I'd just broken up with my ex.

I have always found that I get on with older men better in general.

I kinda kept an eye out for a few weeks, he came up to me and spoke to me, asked me a few questions and I went all extra shy.

I'm not sure if he's worried about the age gap (i'm 28 he's late 40's). Which is not a problem for me or my parents. Though I did get I.D'd for beer last week so I think I look younger than I am.

He acts very tentative around me, like he's not sure what my reaction will be. I'm not sure if this is because he likes me or he doesn't and doesn't want to lead me on. He is very confusing but then so am I so I may have caused him to act confusing, or he may just not be sure.

or maybe he likes me but thinks its not worth it.

I would at least like to get to know him.

Or maybe he knows I like him and is just flattered? I have never told anyone but I figure its written all over my face.

I don't know, I think I've made things more confusing then they are meant to be.

I think you're right. You have made this more difficult. Why don't you just start talking to him an see where it leads? That's the best way of finding out.
