    If you have Netflix, watch that show, "Age Gap Love."

    And slow your mental/emotional roll. You barely know this guy. Maybe he has a house full of pythons and tarantulas. Maybe he's a drug user or alcoholic. That might not be a dealbreaker for you - but it would be for me.

    Yes your right. I shouldn't immediately be thinking about the future etc. I just have to slow down my mental train that's going 100 miles a minute I guess...

    I have always thought that was one of the best bits of slowly getting to know my husband. When we finally had The Talk, I was able to say "I don't feel like I am crazy about you, I am sane for you." Not sure our dear friend who heard both sides of the story would agree, but compared to all the previous relationships it was true :)

    I agree. Honestly I feel a lot of pressure from people about the fact that I'm 35 and am single. It often feels like the end of the world. But I really believe that love happens when it is meant to happen...

    I used to be an emotional eater but now I manage my stress with exercise.

    Good heavens, why not stop texting, and make a plan to meet at a coffee shop or bar and have a drink? You'll definitely learn more about each other in the light of day than living in your head and horrible-izing about all the things that can potentially go wrong. This man is a stranger to you right now. You have seen him ONE TIME. If you want to get to know him, make an arrangement to do so. Not everyone you meet has to be The One.

    My mother is 11 years older than my father. They've been married for almost 58 years.
    Neither ever felt that the age difference was an issue. My mom jokes she should've picked a younger one so he'd be able to keep up with her.

    I always liked the 'half plus seven' guideline.

    As long as the person is at least half your age plus 7 you're in the ballpark =)

    (Note: this is just for fun, of course May-December relationships can work)
