Met someone new....

[letyourselfgo]

Over the weekend, met someone through a friend. He's a student and is.....20. The first night, we all went out as a group and just hung out.....he talked more to my best friend (latest Ex) than to me. We FB friended later than night and chatted for a bit. He asked me for my number, which I gave him. We started texting....

Monday, he wanted to meet up, so we did. We ended up hanging out with some other friends, then went for a long group walk for five miles by the river. He took my hand during the walk and didn't let it go. On the way back to the dorms, we went to a Pho place, and we shared a bowl of Pho....he paid. Then, he walked me home.....the entire 2.5 miles, then walked 2 miles back to his place. In the middle of the night. We talked and held hands....he said that he really wanted to get to know me, hugged me when he dropped me off at my front gate.

Last night, called me up and wanted me to come and meet up with the group for dinner. Texted me "Sleep tight" later that night.

We'll see how this goes. I feel comfortable around and like this particular guy.....but I don't know him, and would like to get to know him better.

That's so sweet. I'm glad your having a nice time.

He sounds sweet, I'm glad you had fun.

[lookingup]

He sounds like a nice guy! Let us know how it goes.

[letyourselfgo]

I'm 28. A friend mentioned the age difference.

[gozf]

Does he have an apartment, or live in a a dorm? Does he have a job, in addition to being a student?

My reaction will change according to your answers.

[Bernadine]

That is a big difference at those ages, but I still say you should go with it for now.

I like to drink way to much to date a 20 year old. But it sounds like it's working for you.

That was along the lines of my first thought - but he can't even legally drink!

That's what I'm saying! If I can't go to a bar with you, I'm probably not going to date you. Annnnnd...now I sound like a major lush.

Very romantic night!

When I was 28, I had the greatest time with a guy who was age 21. We would chat like best friends after work daily for a few weeks until he graduated from a Mechanic type of school for BMW. When he wanted to kiss me, I turned him down because I was hung up on the age differences. Looking back, it was one of my biggest regret.

While I didn’t see it at the time, he really had a good head on his shoulder. At the time he shared a room with a relative because the school was far from his hometown. He did live with his parents prior to that. However, he landed a job right away within a couple weeks after graduating. 3 months later, he bought a 4 bedroom house of his own.

YES!!!! And with that, we need to get "lushy" again real soon! Super excited about our meetup

[doriswe]

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

If it were me, I'd totally hit it and brag like hell to anyone who would listen that I nailed a 20 year old....but I sure as hell wouldn't be picking out china with him though!

He has his own apartment with a roommate and a part-time job.

[letyourselfgo]
