A 28-year-old woman and her friend Jessica recently grabbed drinks together a couple of evenings ago, and while they were out, they met two guys who were friends and out as well.

Jessica really did like one of them, and she ended up speaking to the second guy named David a lot while Jessica was flirting.

The thing is, both David and his friend are in their mid-40s, and she didn’t really find David that attractive as she started talking to him initially.

David’s quite solemn and quiet, and she really always goes for guys that are outgoing and funny.

She was quite surprised to find though that as the evening wore on, she found herself really into David.

They wound up having a lot of the same interests, and their conversation was really flowing.

“I don’t know how to explain it but it was just…lovely,” she explained. “He was so easy to talk to and so genuine and I felt like we were both just being ourselves.”

“The whole thing was completely unexpected for the night in the best way possible.”

As the night came to an end, Jessica chose to go back to David’s friend’s house, while she asked David if he would like to share an Uber home.

She had no intention of going to David’s house since she likes to go slow and not jump right into anything physical, which she explained to David.

David completely understood where she was coming from, and he did let her know that he was interested in seeing her again to take her out on a date.

“We’ve only just met each other and I always prefer to take dating really slowly, but I’m excited about the thought of getting to know him more as a person,” she said.

“I think it would be naive of me though to totally disregard our huge age gap (28 and 45) and the fact that we might be in totally different places in our lives.”

While she has dated some guys who were somewhat older, it was never more than 7 years older than her.

Given the fact that David is pushing 2 decades older than she is, she’s not quite sure how to handle this.

Do you think she should pursue things with David, even though he’s 17 years older than she is, or is that too big of an age gap to make a relationship work?
