I have been getting approached by a beautiful younger man from work who is 30 and I am 65, he is brilliant and attractive and seems to be interested in me. I am not the average 65yr old as many say I look about 40. should I give him a chance? Are many ladies here dating younger men or have you considered dating younger men before?

Will you regret it if you don’t?

No thanks, it would be like dating my son. Good luck to you, though.

Aye, right

Not sure this is a genuine post, but …..

There’s a toyboy and there’s cradle snatching!

I smell a journalist ‘fishing’….

Give him a chance if you want but don’t give him your bank details.

really?

He could just be being polite to an older woman because his mother brought him up well.

Oh yes, take note of Grannynannywanny's post.

Act your age, not your shoe size?

Yeh, I've had umpteen younger men but they've all been a bit self-obsessed so I'm upping my game. I'm now waiting for Rupert Murdoch's next divorce so I can try my luck with a comfortable father-figure.

PS. It's not still school holidays, is it?

It is in Australia.

If you have serious romantic thoughts forget it, there are all sorts of unpleasant motives young men may have, however much you are flattered by the attention be careful.

It's a bit of a trend at the moment for younger men to sleep with older women, although not usually with quite such a large age gap. Are you sure you aren't confusing a bit of office banter with genuine romantic interest?

Would you have a bit of sense......

Well, if a young man made a play for me I would assume he had lost his glasses. And 'no' I can't imagine anything worse than dating an immature young man who probably still gets his mum to do his laundry, is bad enough being married to an immature older man who gets me to do his laundry.

Well said Babs!! I get that !!

He’s probably been egged on by his mates. You could end up looking totally foolish.

Sorry to say, he’s probably after your advice/ wisdom maybe? A 65 year old does not look 40……..

MissAdventure Sat 28-Sept-24 19:39:06

I wouldn't date a younger man...

HeavenLeigh Sat 28-Sept-24 21:00:29

You are 65 but you look 25 years younger! Sorry love but I’m actually laughing at that! I’m not that gullible would I date a man of 30 I’m 67 nope I wouldn’t date a man much younger than my sons thanks. Happily married to a man who is 5 years younger than me though.

Allira Sat 28-Sept-24 22:24:37

Aw, bless. I think he's missing his Mum.
