I am a single mom 32 and 3 kids, 15, 13, and 8. There is a guy who is intrested in me, but he is 24 and I really do not like the age diffrence he could be my daughters boyfriend. Well, he has been asking me out for 2 years all ready and he likes my kids a lot and my kids like him too, but I do not think he is mature enough for a serious relationship. Can you help me...

You would let your 15yr old child date a 24yr old man?
Well then I don t think you should date him. Maybe your
daughter would?

First, I wouldn't let my 15 year old date a 24 year old. You need to get this thought out of your head, he is way too old for her. I know a lot of very mature 24 yr olds, ready for serious relationships and an adult life. It seems like he is already accepted by your kids-and you. All you need to do is just take a leap of faith. Date him a few times and see what comes of it. It may not work out who knows? It may be what you have been looking for all along. You will never know until you try. I wouldn't worry about the age difference. Besides it is only 8 yrs and it's not like your 50 and he's 20. You will have more in common than you think. Go ahead just do it. Tell him ahead of time that you want things to go slow and see how things go. Be straight with him, I think he will appreciate it.
Good luck!!

Well I am a single mom just turned 37 myself and it is funny because i have 3 kids also 16,14,12 lol anyway since my separation like 4 or 5 years i have been dating only younger men in part because i know i am not ready to get back into a serious relationship again. so why don't you really ask yourself is it the age or are you just scare of having fun and living again...let me state i am dating a 29 yrs old at this moment for a year now and he has not met my kids or my family.. so if you do decide to just date someone and your not sure about him please do not have them meet your kids.

I do not really know what kind of help you are seeking. It seems to me you have already thought it all through. Do not let the age differance be the sole determining factor. If he is mature and you enjoy his company then persue a relationship. If he is immature or you are not interested in him then sit him down and explain it to him that you are flattered by his advances but that you are not interested in persuing a relationship with him. Remember communication is always important so therefore it is important to be open and honest with him just as you would want him to be with you.

Go for it, the age thing is no big deal.

sounds like you are looking for an excuse not to date him.
