But I was nice and polite and I remember her asking me questions about my life. She asked me about my running, my diet (runner, at the time eating a macro diet) my family.... In hindsight, I realize it must have been a long night for her. But I remember thinking she was so incredibly nice! And it was all about her showing interest in me. I didn't ask her a single question. Just too young and naive to realize. I am grateful to her now knowing that she worked hard to make me feel comfortable.

I do, but they are each more socially mature? It’s hard to put my finger on it, but she’s like an adult who still acts like a teenager cosplaying an adult. It’s really bizarre.

Is she blazing hot? I bet she’s blazing hot. Is he rich? I bet he’s rich. Bonus points for a boat. Does he have a boat?

So, you want her to be a gold digging whore? Is that the picture you’re painting for everyone? That’s how you want to represent your gender? Grow the fuK up.

What gender might that be?

Console yourself with the thought that it probably won't last.

I was that girlfriend. I met my husband at 19 and married at 23.

The men never had a problem with me, but my dear goodness, did some women look askance! Some just couldn't bring themselves to talk to me. My boss's wife just looked outraged when I walked in the first time she saw me (not at me personally, but at the age difference between my husband and I).

I'm not asking you to like her, OP, but please remember that just because she's younger than you doesn't mean she's dumb and doesn't notice what you're thinking about her! She does. Very much so.

THIS. I don’t care how ‘hot’ she might be at 20 something. Deep down she knows there’s a massive chasm between you and her OP. And she is intimidated. Let him have his fun. She’ll be out of the picture in the blink of an eye

Wow all these insecure middle aged mommies grasping at rationalizations at how much better they are then 20 year olds.

No, she is not intimidated by the frumpster who’s popped out the kids for her beaus best bud. She’s probably also trying to not die of boredom, but probably complains on TikTok rather than DCUM.
