40 dating someone 60+?

[Anonymous]

Had a casual meet up with a professional acquaintance yesterday. We're both divorced. He's a youthful 65 - but doesn't look or act it I would have guessed mid 50s. We had fun, engaging convo and I liked him. I could tell he was attracted to me but stayed a complete gentleman throughout. I'm not sure if I was attracted to him as I've never dated anyone that much older than me, but I guess I wasn't 'not' attracted per se? He says he wants to hang out again. I am not sure if I want to date him but I am not against seeing him again. What to do? FWIW he's also pretty well off.

OP it really depends on what you want from the relationship. If the foundation is there for you to continue to explore in time you will then know whether or not this is one for the long haul.

From my first hand experience I’d strongly advise you to move on. It’s a difficult life choice even if you’re genuinely in love.

There is a 25 year difference. He could be going toward health issues and aches and pains, etc. Not good.

this is his hormonal flesh before he goes downhill.

Can’t even believe a 40-year-old would even go on a date with him to begin with. I’m 44 and I barely date my own age—I will not go above it because there’s no need to. (However, I could care less humps on how much money somebody has because I’m never getting married again).

OP here - it wasn’t really a ‘date’ - he is someone I met through my work (same field but different company). He is retiring soon from a career path that I’m interested in so we’d discussed meeting some time to chat about it. But I guess it kind of turned into a date as we ended up talking about other things besides work. Like I said, I don’t think I am interested in dating him seriously but I guess I wouldn’t mind hanging out again - he was fun to talk to and has good energy. But I’m afraid if I do that he’s going to want more.

I'm currently dating someone 30 years younger than me, so 15 years doesn't seem like a big deal.

Say no. Is obvious he’s going to want more because men don’t talk to women they don’t want to have sex with. How do you not know this is 40 years old?

You're wrong. Women here love to declare exactly what men want and how they behave when they have no clue. I'm not too far from 60 and have friendship/relationships with several women I don't intend to have sex with.
