I am a young divorced mother and just starting to put myself back out there, dating wise. At my last optometrist appointment I felt like I really clicked with my optometrist. He is a divorced dad and I left wanting to talk to him more. There is a significant age difference, thirteen years which, paired with that he is my eye doctor, makes me nervous to attempt to pursue anything. I’ve been out of the dating world for a while. Any advice?
Also, what do you believe is an acceptable age difference when dating and why? I have mixed feelings about it. My ex-husband is eight years my elder and that did not work out but the age difference was not the reasons for our failed marriage. I have always gravitated towards older men, finding most men my age not quite at the same level of maturity. Also, being a mother my son’s best intersts come first and the majority of men I meet are not ready to take on the responsibility of parenting.
Thanks for any advice.
