As has happened before in my life, I felt attracted to someone I wasn't particularly looking forward to meeting. I have used dating apps for a while now, and I have become accustomed to having short-lived flings. Not that I want to, but too often the initial attraction quickly fades away. So usually I'll go on a date without many expectations. That time perhaps even more so, because as I would soon find out his pictures weren't doing him justice.
I guess as I grow older I'm now more self-aware, and in greater touch with what I'm looking for in someone. In P. I found both someone I am very attracted to and that I seem to get along with. I also like the fact that his life is quite stable, in a way that is similar to mine (secure job, own place and car).
I assume the attraction was reciprocal since after we had dinner he invited me back to his place and we ended up kissing and more, after chatting some more for a while.
After that, we saw each other two more times in the week, and we are meant to meet up tomorrow night.
I don't know whether it's just the novelty, but I do feel that this man has something extra compared to the other people I have dated or that I have contemplating dating in the past year or so.
I would like to keep on seeing him and see whether this could develop in something special.
I do have a few concerns and I would love to share them with you so that you can give your opinion:
1) From this Sunday (in 3 days) I will be away for a month on weekdays (work) and I also happen to have very packed weekends (family/friends visiting/ weekend away). And although I believe that if anything significant were to come out of me meeting that man a few days away are nothing; I do believe that an entire month where I have extremely little time to see him may be more detrimental. This may lead to things fizzling out, or him meeting someone else since I won't be around very often ( Obviously we are far from being exclusively dating, albeit I don't personally wish to see anyone else). Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you handle it?
2) There is a twelve-year age gap between us. I'm in my twenties, and he is in his early thirties. I quite like it, and I would imagine he can't be that bothered by it, or may even like it too. I also think that perhaps a guy in his thirties is probably more aware of what he is looking for in life and in someone and therefore it is more likely that he likes it is for sure! Any thoughts on that? More specifically have you noticed any significant difference between dating a guy in his twenties and a guy in his thirties?
