He is 25 and mostly dating women over 30 as he says most people around him are older so little choice here unless he goes on relationship apps which he has little time for in an entry level career. She is worried he would get trapped by someone desperate and hitting "expiry date" and regret later.
Before this he only dated women his age or one year older or younger. Is this a common occurrence here? They are well off and he is her only child born after a very long fertility battle so she is more protective than your average DCUM mom.
