Apparently the OP is not 40. Another poster mentioned that in another thread she refers to herself as 53. I took a look and saw one where she says she's in her 50's. She may very well have been flattered at first thinking the old man was just being friendly. But his advances clearly made her uncomfortable. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be kind. All those viagra/cialis ads have those old geezers dreaming of times long past.

If this is true, then the title of the thread 'much younger women' is a bit of an exaggeration. I was a bit suspicious when I got to the OP's post within the thread where she claimed that she had been walking in that neighborhood for 'over 25 years'. So she would have been in her teens if she's now 40. Not saying that isn't possible of course . . . she might have grown up in the neighborhood and never moved out, still living in her family home. Who knows?

Regardless of her age I still think she's giving mixed signals to people in her life. My first post in the thread I mentioned her threads in Among Friends about her neighbor which I followed when they were current (they're still there so everyone can read them) and it seems like she maybe over-commits to people and doesnt say NO in a firm way.

SoftRaindrops, John is kidding. He means that he's an older man by 11 years to his wife.

John was being sarcastic and I agree with him.

I'm probably about the OP's age and this 70 year old looks pretty good to me!

I would have thought at age 50 on, this older/younger thing would be moot.........face it, they BOTH are old................................................raven

he offered dinner, not bedtime stories, just tell him no rather firmly.

The old men I can understand as to their motives and attractions. The young women? That's a different story. I figure it's one of two things: money or search for a father figure.

I don't know why this OP could not just tell this man NICELY that she was not interested in dating an older man. I always find honesty is the best policy in every aspect of my life. Had she been honest with him this entire situation would have never gone any further. Instead she is making a small incident into a huge mountain. OH THE DRAMA!!!
