Dear Mckoy: Afraid to have a relationship with an older man – I am been talking to this guy from the US for over 5 years. We have only met once and have never been intimate. He is genuinely a nice guy and even when I tell him stuff that I thought would let him stop talking to me he would overlook it and tell me how much he loves me. He has even suggested marriage to me.
To be honest, I like him but I think he’s too old. He’s 56 and I am 33. Sometimes I think about having a relationship with him but each time I do, I keep thinking about his age and whether my family would accept him as my husband.
I am confused. S B
Dear S.B.,
Age should not matter when you genuinely love someone and they do too. It’s about maturity and mindset and if you’re compatible in those areas, you should be fine. Don’t stress about it too much. This may very well be the man for you.
McKoy
