I have met a very nice lady almost the same age as me. The problem is I feel very unhappy when I am not with her. As we are both in our 60's I should not be feeling like a teenager. I don't think she feels the same about me just looks on me as a friend.. I will never try to make it anything more for risk of offending her and losing the friendship. She has been divorced many years same as me and we both have grown up children

I think it's sweet that you feel this way, you obviously have a bit of a crush. If you know it isn't reciprocated, just take it easy and treat her as a friend. If you're not sure, you might ask her out for an evening date and see how things develop. Talk to her about feelings in general terms and see how she responds, she could be waiting for you to make a move of some sort. Go gently.

there is no age limit on feeling like a teenager when love hits ya!!
I'm in my mid-40s & I got like that when I met my new b/f - so believe me, that's a great thing!!! As for her not feeling the same way about you - why don't you take her out for dinner & have a talk about it. It could be that she might not know your feelings for her; once she is aware of them, the relationship could grow from that & end up being something really incredible for both of you! At your ages you don't have the distractions of young children underfoot from previous relationships, you most likely won't have every day distractions of family, job, etc - so you can devote more time to one another. I say go for it & see where it takes you. Look at it this way - if you don't ask her, if you don't tell her, then how will you ever know whether or not if ya'll can become something terrific??? Take the risk, jump right in - Good Luck!!!

It is not going to matter how old you are when you care for some one you will still have that giddy feeling wether you are 15 or 65.I can understand not wanting to offend her but you can tell alot by her actions on how she feels.I think I would sit down with her and tell her exactly how you feel,and she may be feeling the same way toward you and have the same fears as you.You will never know unless you try.If she feels the same way then you have struck gold.If she dosent then you need to let her know its ok but you still want her in your life at least as your friend.I wish you the best of luck

Well first of all in the 60's is by no means dead, embrace those teenage feelings, they are few and far between at any age.
Ask her out to dinner and talk about how you feel and see what she says, who knows, even if she has not seen you the same way in the past, doesnt mean that she wont look at you in a different lite if she knows how you feel.
Good luck, and remember, embrace that goofy happy go lucky feeling (I love that feeling)

Not bad to feel like that age doesnt come into it but dont fail to show her how you feel just in case she does feel something too and thinks you dont. I felt like that for someone but thought he took me as a friend only for ages and then we did become very good friends and he didnt want to spoil that by taking it further and now have to live with my feelings as I see him go off with other women. Take a risk you have nothing to loose instead of sitting on the fence like me good luck.

I think you should talk to this lady, I'm sure you can work it out and friendship is not so bad anyway. You may be risking the friendship if you rush her. Just take it easy and let things take their course. Good Luck

Love has no age limit....enjoy the feeling that you have for this lady, but I think you should tell her. We ladies are very guarded when it comes to our feelings, and even if you only have a beautiful friendship, thats more than most people get in a lifetime. Enjoy

It doesn't matter how old you are, looks like love has found you thus the strong feelings. I think you should take the chance and tell her in a nice way that you wouldn't mind progressing your friendship. You are both old enough and please don't take it the wrong way but life is way too short. Live it while you can!

Under what circumstances did you meet? And how did you become "friends"? Did you get set up? Are you dating? Do you hang out and do things? Ask her out to dinner/drinks/movies--see if she bites. Don't use words like---"just as friends"---cause that is not what you want. If she starts to throw that out there--then you have your answer. But, I think if you have been out on several "dates"....it would be appropriate to ask her what direction she sees this going. Why waste more time on something that isn't going in the direction you want it to go. Otherwise, you will just be more unhappy. Get your answer.

What's wrong with feeling like a teenager? Love is love. It's supposed to make you feel goofy inside. I'd say take your time with her and relax a bit. She may be reading you as holding back and so doesn't want to show anything more than friendship.
Best wishes to you
