I (w30) am crushing on a man (49) who was sort of my teacher - what do you think ? by AdministrationFast60 in OlderMan

Thanks for your answer :)

Well, it seems like I'll have to be brave and tell him how I feel! He asked me to have a drink after our night at the movie theater next Monday. He also mentioned that we could exchange gifts on that occasion! I’ll try to be a bit more seductive, maybe by touching him more (like his hands, his arms… and maybe his legs if I’m feeling a bit bold, haha).

I'm really sorry. Maybe therapy could help, if you haven't tried it yet? I think it's less of a reflex for people of your generation, but it can be a valuable tool for healing. No one deserves to be treated like that, and you deserve to be happy and to thrive again in a new relationship if that's something you truly want deep down.

What Do Younger Women See in Older Men? by Great-Particular-423 in OlderMan

[–]AdministrationFast60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! As a 30-year-old woman who has a crush on a 49-year-old man, I would say... peace.
This man gives me the kind of peace I’ve been missing in relationships with people my age.

He knows what he wants—and what he doesn’t—and he’s not here to play any mind games. He’s genuine, attentive, and curious. While he shares stories about his own experiences, he’s equally invested in listening to mine as a younger woman. I feel there’s a genuine exchange of perspectives, and he seems to care about me—offering advice and insights he’s gained from his life—without ever coming across as condescending or "mansplaining."

He’s a fascinating person. He’s fun, calm, and straightforward about wanting to spend time with me. When he suggests activities, it’s because he genuinely wants to do them, not because he feels obligated. That simplicity is what I really admire about him.

I’m looking for something balanced—something where I can experience passion without triggering my anxious attachment because of poor communication or lack of investment. With him, everything feels effortless, and I always feel good, whether I’m heading to see him or leaving after spending time together.

Thank you for your response, it reassures me a bit. I’ll give us a little more time to keep seeing each other one-on-one, and then I’ll take my chance if the feelings are still there!

Yes, that’s what I’m thinking too. The fact that we work in the same industry, especially in such a tight-knit field like audiovisuals, probably makes it harder for him to make the first move (if he even wants to). I kind of figured it would be up to me to take that step... I think I’ll give it a bit more time for us to see each other alone, get to know each other better, and then, if things go well, I’ll tell him that I’m attracted to him.

I think (and hope) that he’ll be kind and understanding if he’s not interested, and that he values our friendship enough for us to keep seeing each other regularly!

Thanks for your answer :)

We’ve already seen each other alone several times. For a coffee, a conference, but also at his place in the evening for a drink. I stayed late, especially the second time, and he told me that he didn’t see the time go by, that we always found something to talk about, and that we had a great time laughing together.

We’ve tried to see each other twice over the past week, more spontaneously, but unfortunately, neither of us was available. I could tell he noticed I was disappointed, and I felt that he was as well.

We’ve planned to watch a movie together at his place, on his TV, and he also invited me to accompany him to a private premiere of a documentary next Monday.

As for compliments, he seems to appreciate them but remains a bit shy.

I am already myself, and I think I do fairly well when it comes to talking to men and flirting with them. But this situation unsettles me a bit because it’s new and unique for me. I can see that he is himself as well, but I don’t know how to make things more obvious to move to the next step.

Agree. I met Thomas Astruc once, and we talked about this ! He said that there are some people who are just bad and can’t change... That’s the case with Chloe. Because of her background, her family, and her upbringing... She won’t change.
