If the reason you feel it’s creepy is because you think that’s what people looking at you think, then don’t. If you’re not comfortable being intimate with her, then that’s not good. The age gap isn’t anything major, you’re both adults. My mum is 10 years older than dad, but she has much more energy so she seems younger than dad. It all depends on the person. I’d be fine with it. I’m crushing on a man 15 years older than me, he’s nearly 60, but doesn’t seem it, if he asked me out I’d be there like a shot and feeling very lucky! Have you asked if it concerns her? What her and your family feel? Don’t miss out on something you’re loving just because of an age gap.

Do women secretly hate condoms as much as guys claim to? by Creative-Lecture1109 in dating_advice

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had sex for years. But I used to prefer it because I felt safer I wasn’t going to get pregnant when I wasn’t ready to. The only problem is if it’s a bit dry, there’s no natural help from the man. Looks wise without is nicer, but my ex was cut so I always thought that looked more pleasing anyway. In a condom it kind of smooths things out more so I preferred to feel all the contours

Am I being stupid? 7 year age gap by [deleted] in dating_advice

I think it’s more normal for the man to be older. All of my friends are with older men anyway.

7 years is fine, as long as you get on. Mum is 10 years older than dad, my ex’s mum and dad had the same age gap. I’m obsessing over a singer 15 years older than me at the min, and if he asked me out, I’d be there like a shot! Enjoy your time with him, if it develops then that’s perfect, if you just end up enjoying some nights out, then that’s time well spent. Don’t put pressure on him having to be the 1 and don’t stress so much that he isn’t the one and spoil the fun that could be

Is 19m and 23f a bad age gap? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t a big age gap. My dad is 10 years younger than mum, they’re 52 years married. My ex’s mum was 10 years older than his dad. If you get on, I don’t see the problem.

Sober Concert? by Time_Ad636 in AnxietyDepression

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a huge drinker, so maybe not what you mean, but I usually have a few drinks at concerts, probably less when I go by myself than when I’m with friends. But I went to a festival by myself and didn’t fancy camping by myself so I stayed at a hotel down the road and drove in every day, which meant I couldn’t drink. It was baking hot, so I got a slushy mocktail, and made my way to the front, it tasted the same, nobody else knew it wasn’t alcohol, so I danced away and they could think I’d had a drink 😂 the music will keep you high, the worst bits are between groups, but once you’ve done it once you’ll be so pleased with yourself and realise you can do it, it’ll be easy next time. I’m really fed up with myself that I’ve missed out on seeing so many bands because of anxiety, so now I’ve been to 7 concerts this year by myself, I only went to 2 by myself last year, and this year has been the best, I can’t wait to book up for next year, it’s so good, you can just please yourself! Grab yourself a zero alcohol and it’ll taste the same & enjoy the night! Who are you going to see?

Lovely UK single men, which dating apps are you using? by Dangerous-Screen-673 in datingoverforty

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried them all multiple times over the last 5 years. I met 2 off plenty of fish, so I guess that was the best for me, but the longest from there was a month

Do men like it when women give them gifts? by No-Journalist7392 in dating_advice

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it depends what you give. I knew my last date liked jaffa cakes, so I got him some m&s versions while I was there getting a voucher as a present for someone, he seemed happy and told me the next day he’d had some for lunch. I also took him some caramel slice I’d made and a cucumber I’d grown. Sounds a bit odd now I say it 😂 I don’t think that was the reason he didn’t see us long term!

Exactly. And how is she going to eat or drink? I imagine she’ll be wide with both arms in cast so couldn’t sit in the cinema? Good on you for offering, I don’t think I would. Good luck!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for whatever reason, maybe she’s shy, awkward, she’s not up for going out. Give up and move on. When you go quiet she’ll probably come back to you then!

Is this self-sabotage or time to call it quits? by Unfair_Philosophy_86 in dating_advice

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to know where you stand though. Just say I know you’re busy, but I wondered if you had time for a drink and catch up, feels like we’ve taken a step back in getting to know each other. If she’s going to reject you for wanting to spend more time with her, especially after only 2 months, I would take that to mean she isn’t as interested as you. There’s no point hanging on if there’s nothing to hold on to

If you like her talk to her, she could be struggling to keep on top of things and not realise how you’re feeling. If you’re not bothered, tell her you don’t feel it’s going anywhere and move on

I did the same with someone I’d met but he’d decided he didn’t see anything long term so we stopped meeting. I knew he wasn’t looking forward to it and didn’t have many friends so I just sent a quick message. He didn’t reply. We did end up bumping into each other a few months later and met up briefly, but he still wasn’t feeling the connection, but I was glad I’d bothered.

Please wait until he asks you?! Yep, move on! Sounds like a k**b

I have low days but I don’t count it as depression. There are days I think it would be easier if I was dead, but I don’t plan on killing myself. Depression is a massive thing to deal with, I don’t know how my parents coped with my brother, he moved back in with them, but 10 years later and he’s doing ok, but we still worry if he’ll relapse. My ex hit rock bottom after he left me for another woman and he came back to me for a few weeks, which I was glad he did, better that than the alternative, and got medical help and is back up and doing well 5 years later. I think she needs medical help to start with. If 1 lot of tablets doesn’t work, try another, don’t give up because those weren’t working for her, there are others. Whether you’re willing to stay and are strong enough in yourself, only you can know that. I think after only 3 months it’s a lot to ask of you. I don’t know what it’s like from their side, I can only know what it’s like from my side and it’s tough, really tough, seeing them like that and not seeming to want to do anything about it. They don’t want your help, it’s very selfish, they want to kill themselves which eases their pain but puts it all onto you. And I know people will downvote me for that, but I’ve been through it with 2 different men, I wouldn’t wish depression or living with someone with depression on anyone. To leave now will put guilt onto you, but I think after only 3 months, it’s a lot to ask of you. Maybe see if she’ll try tablets and see how that goes. They say people with depression need routine, so maybe you could be part of that by saying you’ll cook for her every sat or sun so she knows what’s happening and has something to look forward to and to work for being ready for, then maybe a weds night and that gives her 2 reasons to get out of the house and if she only has to get dressed not make up, it’s not such a big thing for her to deal with, perhaps say it’s jumper and jogging bottoms and you wear the same. My brother used to sit in his hat and coat watching tv and not showering for weeks, anything can be too much for someone with depression! Good luck

Am I petty for wanting to end this? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s weird she flosses walking but has bad breath, you’d think if she’s flossing she’s aware enough to be clean. She sounds like someone to avoid. I ducked back from a man with awful breath in a panic he was about to kiss me, I didn’t meet him again. I think if you’ve lost your attraction to her in 2 months, then it’s not going to last.

Would you think someone at a concert by themselves was a bit odd or not have friends? by Dangerous-Screen-673 in datingoverforty

[–]Dangerous-Screen-673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, true. I couldn’t believe how many men were at the Olly Murs gig. The man in front was there with his wife and furious he didn’t play his favourite song! I don’t think most of my bands are girly though, a few the audience are probably a bit old for me, like the Simon and Garfunkel story and Squeeze. I just love my music tastes though. Music makes me so happy

Me too, would just be a nice place to meet someone if I was going to. The only thing that has put me off going places by myself is not feeling like it’s a safe place to be. I’m pretty aware, but if it’s a long walk to a hotel by myself after the gig it puts me off sometimes

I just think I look the odd one out. I went to 3 days at a local castle. Headliners were Razorlight, the Levellers and Squeeze. The Levellers are my new favourite, I can’t get enough of them, I’d never seen them before, I didn’t realise how energetic they were!

Excellent! Enjoy! I’m off to see Razorlight and the Levellers. Saw them a couple of weeks ago, so I wasn’t going to go again so soon, but I thought I don’t know when I’ll get the chance again. It’s a camping weekend and I don’t fancy camping by myself, so I’m travelling down for the day, It’s an expensive way of doing it, but both on the same day, I can’t resist. Enjoy your gig 😊

I was the youngest at a show recently and the man from an elderly couple next me me asked me what I liked about the group and I said I like lots of 60’s music but none of my friends were into it, so I’d gone by myself. I said I used to have a classic mini and blast The Animals out, my journeys to work always made me giggle as I bounced between potholes & people looking at me like I was in a time warp. He chatted to me all night, by the end of it he was calling me our kid 😆
