What do you all think about a woman dating a guy who is a little over 4 years younger than her?

Go for it! Unless he isn’t at the same maturity level as you and that bothers you, it shouldn’t be an issue. Women tend to outlive men anyways.

He probably won’t care. My aunt was 20 years older than my uncle (she recently passed away at the age of 60-something). They started dating when he was 19 years old.

If he turns out to be a weirdo though, definitely leave! 😛

I have a date this Friday and I just don’t know.

Maybe this Friday was never meant to be a date night eh? I’d go get some sparkling wine, ice cream and find a good movie to watch by myself at this point 😛

My mum could win a million pounds tomorrow.

I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through.

Many people don’t know how to handle their emotions. Mental Illness is especially hard, doing basic tasks, but it sounds like she could do better with her family.

Try to take a step back, and look at her through a different lens, her words may not be /her/ talking since her perspective is distorted by her emotions/mentality.

Carry on as you would, do what you have time to do, you’re doing the best you can - do not become a participant in her game. I would just say, “we have too much to do to think about cleaning, maybe you could help us” - I’d really just repeat the same phrase, not even bother changing it.

It’s important to also support your dad in this situation, is there anyway you can get her help? A psychological evaluation?

Everything will go just fine, just relax, do you take anything to calm yourself down? Have a cup of tea or something, it will be fun going out 🙂 I find that I get too stressed when I’m stuck in my place for too long.

So sorry to hear that! 😞 unfortunately, it’s very much the norm these days for men or rather ‘boys’ to think in such a manner.

Don’t be discouraged, I was single (with no dating) for 2 years and then I met my guy. It takes patience, but the right person for you will come along 🙂
Make the focus about having a good time, so you don’t feel disappointed, and men can be very disappointing at times.

Hmm, I’m hoping he takes the suggestion or helps come up with something else, otherwise he’s just an arse!

My fiancé and I even struggle with ‘dates’ - we can never choose a place to go or thing to do. But we have some things planned.

I really want to do an escape room, don’t know if you’ve heard of it, they have one in Naperville.
You get locked in a room with other players (of your choosing or not) to solve a mystery and find the key to ‘escape’ - you get let out once the time is up but you’re left clues to figure it out. I so badly want to do this, and I want to make a group to invite, so that I’m not in a room with total strangers. If you want to join when we go, let us know and you could always bring someone with! 🙂
We’re also planning a trip to a farm animal sanctuary, where there are rescued animals you get to interact with. There are only 3 sanctuaries in Illinois but they’re all so far apart.

Bowling or going to have a drink and meal at a pub and grill where there is an easy going atmosphere? I like Irish pubs the most.
I don’t know what people do for fun, bowling would probably be better if it were a double date. Otherwise, laser tag is really fun, although there’s not much getting to know each other in that.
Otherwise, a downtown stroll and some coffee to sit and talk over? I love browsing the stores in downtown areas, they’re interesting 🙂
