I met this guy on an online dating site..his profile said he was 35, I'm 24..whatever no big deal to me..we started hanging out and we really hit it off. So a little further down the road, he told me that he was really 42..and the reason he lied about his age was because he does want a younger woman..and that he just doesn't find his age of women appealing and he didn't think a younger woman would look his way if he told them he was 42. I wasn't really upset that he lied about his age..because I can understand. He doesn't look or act 42 at all, I mean he is mature..but he is young at heart which I like. We have a lot in common and as much as I didn't think I would be dating someone who is that age, I really would like to pursue things with him. He treats me really well..and knows how to make me laugh.
I'm just not sure how to break the news to my family..my dad is 48, so I could definitely see him flipping out. I really want them to like him..and honestly I think they would if they were able to give him a fair chance. Trust me, I understand the concern here. I know deep down my family wants me to be happy..so I really hope they will be supportive. I've thought about having them meet him first before really letting the age thing out..I just don't know.
Before you say, yes but he lied...yea he did, but I don't think he did it to hurt me. I can see where he's coming with lacking self esteem in that area I've had self esteem issues..I've never lied about it..but it's kinda like..when you meet someone online, who might be a few extra pounds more than their pic, but if you hit off it doesn't really matter. If he would have lied about anything else, I would not be even remotely interested in him anymore.
