I know middle-aged men are attracted to younger women for biological reasons, but when it comes down to finding a partner, do they want younger women? I'm 25 and am interested in a 40 year-old man. He's my doctor who I've been seeing for the past few months for depression. I think he's into me from some of the things he says and does - i.e. hugging, rubbing my thigh when consoling me, commenting on my appearance. I shied away and felt uncomfy at first, but I realized that I'm attracted to him and that's why I'm uncomfortable. I want to tell him how I feel, but he hasn't come out and said anything to me about being interested. I don't know if this is just how he is with patients or maybe he is just teasing me. I've been through a rough time lately and have had trouble keeping jobs. I can't understand why anyone would want to be with me in this predicament, but it seems that from his actions he's wanting more. One minute, he wants to get close to me, then he pulls back. Is it my age?

40 - 50 yr. old men LOVE 25 yr. old women...
Your doctor wants you but fears some kind of
problems as you are his patient...
He does not want to get in trouble..
Ask him if he can recommend a different physican
for you to start seeing, of course he will ask why, if he does
not ask why, Ask him "Aren't you going to ask why ? "
Tell him that you are going to have to find a different
doctor because you want to have a personal
relationship with him and you don't want to cause him
any professional ethical problems..
He should take it from there..

it all depends on you, her and what you intensions are. I have a 22 yr old female friend that loves men in their 40's and 50's. I have 35 yr old friends that will not date a guy above 42. If you are looking for fun and don't care about a LTR or marriage in the short term....go as young as you want. If you are looking for a LTR and a possible marriage, 28 is the youngest but 32 might work better. There is something that happens once you reach 28-32 that makes you want to be with someone in a meaningful way!

If he's treating you for depression this means he gives you psychological therapy?..That could hold him back, cause it is unethicall and not permitted for them to get involved with a patient, if he gest involved with you he will need to stop treating you...there is something for you to think about about his attitude, cause he knows darn well its not right.
He may be attracted to you..- 2 years ago when I was 27 went pretty serious with a 39 yr old guy, he was a dream at first and then he turned very controlling and demanding, reason why he is not in my life anymore.Some things are meant to be and others are not. I learned alot from him though & felt different emotions and a whole different level of relationship given our age difference. So that is also something for you to think over. Men are these age sometimes are looking for a more stable relationship..and other times the complete oposite.
If u also feel an attraction towards him it would be wise to talk about it with sincerity from both parts...Cause he needs not to be touching patients as the way he does to you...in subjective way...

I think your imagination has gone astray. While it is true, a 40 year-old could easily be attracted to a younger woman, it doesn't mean that this is the case here. You could say what you feel, but just be prepared for him to tell you that you've misread his actions. Otherwise, you can just wait to see if he make a real move toward you. If he does, then you'll know. If he never does, then you'll know. In the meantime, it sounds as if you've got more important things to work on. It might be best if you simply deal with getting yourself stable.

He sounds like a mental health practitioner and the ethical standards are the doctor patient relationship needs a minimum of 2 years of being done/ended.

Older men always want younger women. In your case though, the reason he pulls back is because of ethical standards.

younger women are always attracted to older men because women mature later than guys and we can't find suffecient partners in our age group...give it some more time and if he keeps doing the same things you might want to ask your friends opions and what they think, it's always good to have second opinions before you make any rash decisions...hope that I helped

Yes older men would always want a younger woman if they could get one.
