Hi i am diabetic, i also have high blood pressure, but it does not stop me from what i want to achieve in life, although being 40+ has some limitations, i have just started a friendship with a much younger man, something i have never done and i want to know what are some of the positives and negatives of such a friendship? thanks

my concerns primarily is the age thing he is 35 and also the body issue LOL a few extra pounds here and there although i do try to exercise, not regularly, do i be proactive and invite him for dinner, is it too forward, is it okay if i pick up the check sometimes, i dont want to mother the guy just have some fun and see where it leads, but sometimes i overthink.

Lynda,
As always, I love to try and lighten the mood about the possibility of love.....~as I daydream~ We all pray and wish for it, right? You told us you are 40+, what is his age?

Hi Redeemed!
My first thought is, GO WITH IT and see what happens. What are your ups and downs with a younger man? Let's see.....he may make you happy....he may be the ice in your cream! If you think about this too much you may create your own boundaries before the relationship even evolves. Do you have fears over this new relationship or are you concerned only about age.
What's the old song? Age ain't nothing but a number.........
Give us some more information. What are your concerns?
Foremost, Welcome to EmpowHer,

yes it seems i think too much and wondering what my family will think am i crazy or going through a mid-life crisis lol because this is not the norm for me, i am very conservative and i dont create ripples, and age is a problem for me but he says it doesnt matter to him. Thanks for your input, it is so easy sometimes to have someone else but family to share concerns and fears with.
