She Went On A Few Wonderful Dates With A Guy Before Finding Out That He Lied About His Age By A Whole Decade
A woman recently met a guy through a dating app that she was on, and then she agreed to go out on a first date with him.
That first date was amazing, and she felt so comfortable around him, which is quite rare for her. She was really into him and interested in getting to know more about him, she booked a second date with him.
That second date was wonderful, and she could see so many things about this guy that she was liking. Green flags all around.
Things got physical between them, and she was pleased to find that they had a great connection. She never moves so fast with any guys, but this guy was really different.
They were sitting there in bed together, chatting and having a good time, and she asked him what his age was.
“His profile had said 37, but I couldn’t remember if he was 35-39,” she explained. “He told me he is actually 47, which surprised me.”
“He said he changed his age because the app would only match him with “grandmas” and he acts and looks young for his age.”
She initially thought he was nearing the higher end of his 30s, so finding out that he was an entire decade older than he claimed to be was suspicious to her.
On top of that, his remarking about matching with grandmas made her stop and reflect on what this guy really finds important.

Does he like women for who they are, or what they look like and can give to him? She’s also afraid this might mean that he won’t be as attracted to her as she gets up there in age herself.
She feels safe with this guy, and she’s kind of falling for him, but she can definitely see some red flags right now.
“On the other hand, I’m trying to interpret what lying about his age on a dating app could mean for the future or for his general disposition around boundaries,” she said.
“Age filters are, after all, a boundary women put in place to ensure they are dating within a range they are comfortable with.”
She wants to find a guy she can be partners with and considering that this guy is 16 years older than her that gives her pause.
“A 16-year age gap seems big for later in life as I don’t want to be 60 and active with a partner who is unable to do things,” she continued.
“My last partner lied a lot and disregarded boundaries, so I hold honesty and boundaries in high regard.”
Do you think she should dump this guy over lying about his age, or should she keep seeing him?
