Met a 22 yo in a group I am involved in, she asked if I wanted a lift to a meeting, there and back. I don’t know her very well but she’s young a lot younger than me by 10years.
So talking on the way back she mentions antidepressants, I too take anti depressants, the conversation moves towards SSRIs and sex. I panic because that shit makes me supper uncomfortable, she said some stuff that was a blatant hint. Anyway me and her have activity later in the week for the group we’re in, she’s invited me out for a drink after and being friendly and uncomfortable I said yea sure.
How best to proceed? I don’t want things to be weird and our group get weird as a result. I wish I could set boundaries.
Worth mentioning I have crazy anxiety so don’t judge too hard I mostly run on auto pilot in those situations.
But seriously though, DiCaprio freaks me out, Trump freaks me out for the same reason, among others.
I mean, what’s wrong with dating one’s age?
I don’t wanna be dating someone half my age, then I die. That just seems cruel.
You dont want to be judged for your preferences but at the same time you judge others for theirs. Thats whats wrong, not your preference itself.
I thought that DiCaprio was dating outside of the range I described. There’s nothing wrong with dating your own age. Likewise I don’t think there’s anything automatically wrong with dating within a wide age range. I think there’s such a thing a too wide of an age range and the formula I explained seems to define those limits well.
