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 isnโ€™t at the same maturity level as you and that bothers you, it shouldnโ€™t be an issue. Women tend to outlive men anyways.

He probably wonโ€™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! ๐Ÿ˜›

Maybe this Friday was never meant to be a date night eh? Iโ€™d go get some sparkling wine, ice cream and find a good movie to watch by myself at this point ๐Ÿ˜›

My mum could win a million pounds tomorrow.

Iโ€™m sorry to hear about what youโ€™re going through.

Many people donโ€™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, youโ€™re doing the best you can - do not become a participant in her game. I would just say, โ€œwe have too much to do to think about cleaning, maybe you could help usโ€ - Iโ€™d really just repeat the same phrase, not even bother changing it.

Itโ€™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 ๐Ÿ™‚ I find that I get too stressed when Iโ€™m stuck in my place for too long.

So sorry to hear that! ๐Ÿ˜ž unfortunately, itโ€™s very much the norm these days for men or rather โ€˜boysโ€™ to think in such a manner.

Donโ€™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 ๐Ÿ™‚
Make the focus about having a good time, so you donโ€™t feel disappointed, and men can be very disappointing at times.

Hmm, Iโ€™m hoping he takes the suggestion or helps come up with something else, otherwise heโ€™s just an arse!

My fiancรฉ and I even struggle with โ€˜datesโ€™ - 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, donโ€™t know if youโ€™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 โ€˜escapeโ€™ - you get let out once the time is up but youโ€™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 Iโ€™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! ๐Ÿ™‚
Weโ€™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 theyโ€™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 donโ€™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 thereโ€™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, theyโ€™re interesting ๐Ÿ™‚
