Hi Naej. I have set myself an age range 36-45. I don't mind practising flirting with men younger than this but at the end of the day I want to be able to have an intelligent conversation with someone who understands what I'm talking about. For now I've even decided that unless they have a similar academic background to me I'll probably not go there. However this might be too restrictive and if so I'll remove that eligibility criteria LOL

Ultimately I've seen how my children have been hurt by a big age gap R and I don't intend repeating that experience for them.

Five years younger or older is a good range. My H is 5 years younger than me. It's worked out well, until the EA, but that could be any age. Super boost, ACJ!!!

Yes it was still. Still can't help thinking about the guy I really liked though especially since he got in touch this week.

Regardless of age, I know my daughter appreciates the fact that I don't bring any guy around that I am dating. She calls this "classy" and is old enough to see how low ex has gotten sleeping with OW right in front of them. I will not hurt my kids any more than they have already been hurt.

Not got as far as bringing anyone home yet T. Last guy I went to his. You are right though about not flaunting it in front of our children.

I'm fine thanks.

Had a date tonight with someone I met on a dating site. I think it went well but I'm not sure if we will meet again. I have his number but he doesn't have mine so guess he is leaving it up to me.

Good for you. I haven't been on a date yet and I have been divorced just over a year! I just want to get myself straight first. smile

So if you had a good time, give it another day and give me a call.

I did send the guy a message saying thank you for a lovley evening. He txt straight back saying the pleasure was all his. That was it, he didn't ask to see me again. I want to be 'chased' so unless he makes the effort it doesn't look like I will see him again.

To be fair although he was a nice man there wasn't really a 'spark' there like there was with the last one wink
