I am breaking up from a long term relationship and last month met up with a girl who is 12 years younger - I am 35 and she is 22. She has a boyfriend so I didn't expect anything to happen. We both train together in the gym and started flirting a bit which lead to chats on IM,daily Facebook messages, meeting in parks whenever we got a chance. As I found her attractive, I thought of her as a distraction to relieve the pain of my break-up but since things have moved too quick,a bit too far.
We both enjoy each others company intensely and have been kissing intimately and making out, whenever we get a chance on our own - although I have been avoiding taking it any further at this stage. She seems to be in a ''trusting' / 'happy' relationship and says that she feels bad about what she is doing but says that she likes my company as I make her feel alive again and wants to continue. We both love being together and always look forward to meeting but unlike me she does not express her feelings in words openly. I have a few questions/concerns that I need help with:
- Is she pretending that she is in a happy relationship but that may not be true?
- If she is just looking for an physical relationship, then why does she like to take the risk of meeting up in public places and always act so happy when she is with me?
- Also, in addition to a physical relationship, I may be looking for something emotional as well so I could be falling for someone who I cannot rely on for emotional support. On the other hand I don't want to give up with her Please advice!
