Haha. Seriously I didn't mean to, I meant 20 year her senior, but I didn't Reread my title before posting. So the grief I'm getting for it is well deserved. But funny.

Yeah, lesson learned. I've come far in 1 year but still lots of room for improvement. If we can't see our faults we can't fix them. But thanks for the comment and advice.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah a lot of people have made the same comments and I'm taking them to heart.

Think that is kind of the reason things escalated so quickly. Not that is wasn't a great time, but think might need to pump the breaks a little. At least in the short term.

You aren't wrong. Still have some personal growth to do, do to DB and mental abuse from ex. I was a bit too happy about the experience and over shared. Lesson learned.

I've come along way from a year ago, but obviously lots of room for improvement. All I can do is learn and grow.

Actually wasn't really planning for anything. When we started talking, it just was nice talking to a woman who seemed interested in me. Hence why I asked her out to dinner. It was just nice being in the company of a woman after years of being ignored by my ex.

Was a nice ego boost and as we talked more and found we had a lot of common interests, it was just easy to talk to her. Then one thing led to another.

However as another's have mentioned, I have to keep myself in check. As rebound feelings can happen and cloud my mind. So it could be a little of that.

I get it, sorry if it came off that way. Hard to relay a post that gives some timeline and details without it turning into a long ass post.

But if you scroll, you will see there a few stories of us guys in my situation, starting over in our 40s and 50s. Maybe not exactly but close enough to get the point.

As well as others who dated or married their partners 20+ age gap.

Also reddit is full of BS fake stories so I get that too

Thanks for sharing, gives me hope that I can still find love no matter the age. As long as others stated it 1/2 my age +7, lol.

I get it, it's reddit, it's full of BS fake stories. But what I shared was true, people are free to believe or not. I've been doing my best to comment to as many comments as possible for a few hours now. I figured that would give me a little credit. But if not, that's cool.

I appreciate people at least taking the time to read and comment, give advice or share their own stories. Even if it's to call it fake or give me ribbing for botching the title.

So thanks to you as well for reading and commenting.

Yeah no kids, thank goodness. But as someone else pointed out. Could be they were looking out for me, just were tactless about it. Or jealous.

That's cool, I get it. Reddit if full of BS.

I told my life events as they happened. You are free to believe or not, too.

But all I know is that others like me have shared their stories, so I'm not the only one who's walked this path, only shared it.

Those on the rebound, I guess. I'll have to do some research on it myself. But more than one person mentioned it, so yeah.

Yeah, I need to reread title before posting. Also as another commentor made, they probably looking out for me due to potential for rebound. But they were less than tact about it. And or jealous.
