Is he too good for me?

Question

I've met a guy, extremely good looking, highly intelligent (i know shocking!!), good job, own house, well travelled, etc etc.
I'm a single mom of 2, good job, own house but just don't seem to have the life experiences he's had and he's 9 years younger than me.
We have met a few of times and had interesting conversations but he has so much more to say than me, my life is filled with work and children, his life is filled with a fascinating job, sports, travel and a whole load of other stuff I just feel he is too good for me, let me know what you guys think...

Answer 1

Dont put your self down!!

You say he is younger than you - thats cool, nothing wrong with that, and so he said he has a good job, money and looks all that - but what do you have, have a good look at yourself.

You have life experience - thats the best qualification in the world. Your a single mum - god thats tough, and you have a house and you have a job - whats the problem, your fantastic!!

I can see your a special person just by what you have said here and no doubt he can see that quality too.

You should be so proud of your acheivments.

I am sure this guy admires you more than you think. Imagine what you can teach him (wink wink) and what a great team you would make.

Go for it - be confident - your a strong person so never doubt your self, strive to be happy.

Answer 2

NO!

he aint too good 4 u, no one is and u should always tell urself at because if u aint happy withihn urself then how can he be. he might had diff experiences than u but that doesnt mean they been beta ur a single mum of 2 kids & i know that aint been easy & uve got a good job, so i would suggest dont think like that & maybe ur too good for him, just go with the flow & let him make his own mind up about u b4 u make it 4 him.

Answer 3

No guy is ever too good for you, they can only ever be not good enough.

For you to know this much about him he must've spent quite a lot of time talking to you so he must enjoy your company & like what you have to say.

You have pleanty of "life experience" as well. Just on a slightly different track to his. My best friend & I are sooo different, she's settled with a husband & two children (& another imminant) I work 60+ hrs a week & go out every night I have free. But we connect cos I DON'T just talk about kids & she dosen't just talk about how hard she's working & how much she's paid for the top/skirt/bag she has on.

Enjoy your time together & just accept that he likes you for exactly who you are.

Answer 4

He is not too good for you, no-one else is better than anyone else. Just different.

Maybe he envies you, because you have been able to raise 2 children, and maintain a fairly stable lifestyle. (You know what they say opposites attract) That is where that comes from he wants to be able to have a chance to have a life like that because he is so used to having his crazy life that maybe he just wants a nice chilled out life, and be an average Joe.

And if you have had interesting conversations that means that he doesn't think you aren't good enough for him, he finds you interesting.

Just see how things take you, maybe he will be the one.......

Answer 5

Whooooooaa!! Never think anyones too good for you!!

I bet he finds you fascinating! Hes never had kids! He must learn so much from talking to you and hearing about your life which is so differnet to his. Also remember that you've only been on a few dates and everyone gives out all the most interesting stories and stuff on the first few dates!

Maybe he likes having someone to share all his stories with? Someone who hasn't done it and likes to soak it up and listen to him. My boyfriend is 14 years older than me and someone times I feel a bit stupid coz theres some much hes done that I havent.... but its so much fun learning from him! So far hes taught me how to cook and snowboard!! He loves passing on his knowledge and I love learning!!

Btw I've also taught him a thing or too as well : - P

Answer 6

He is not too good for you, but my guess is that if you end up starting a relationship with him, it won't be but 4 months before he's telling you that you're too "old" and have too much baggage and he wants to be free. Most highly accomplished men believe they deserve much younger females and will not stay very long with an older one, no matter how accomplished she is.

Answer 7

first of all stop thinking that he's too good for you. if you keep thinking that who says that this relationship/thing wil go anywhere.

instead of comparing things to his life, think that your at an age where you can have many more life experiences. take intrest in what he talks about and make conversation about how you would love to do something that his done, or will hate it, he may offer to give you the confidence to go through with what you want to do.

Answer 8

He sounds like he may be ready to settle down. Someone who works hard and has a busy work and social life is probably fed up with all the usual people he meets. In his eyes, you're a bit different to the norm.
Stop worrying and enjoy it.

Answer 9

First of all are you sure he isnt gay. Second of all he probably sees you as an established women who is able to handle things on her own and needs no man to hold her up. He is probably also flattered that you, as a mature women, is actually interested in him. You two just had different pathways in life. i think he's just what you need to spice up your life for a while. Take advantage of what he has to offer. Enjoy yourself. No one is ever too good for anyone (unless you abuse them)

Answer 10

Dont put urself down so much huni! just cos u havent had the same experiences doesnt mena hes 2 gud 4 u! and as 4 age that doesnt matter one bit!! just enjoy urself and enjoy this mans company, he obiviously enjoys ur company!!
