Hey B,

I'm sure u were very flattered by her attention and u sort of in a way lead her on ......shame on u, now ur concerned with hurting her feelings ....well it's to late u already did that so now have a decent conversation with her and explain just what u've told us.

In the future it would be wise to take all of your wants, needs, and desires and place them on your table before u engage in another relationship with anyone older or younger women and cause the unwanted feelings u have brought on urself and your very vulnerable friend.

Good Luck!!

I broke up with a woman i was dating, She was 27. Im 46. I didnt think down the road i could handle the age gap. She never had children, and never been married. I have done both. I dont mind getting married. I miss that part alot, but children. I would rather jump into a pit of snakes. She was very upset, and doesnt want to end it. She saysjust friend is out of the question, its all, or nothing. I said nothing, but she still calls. How do i get her understand that its me with the problem.

I have actually dated someone 13 years younger and he wanted children and I actually couldn't have more children. So I ended things so he could find someone and have children.
Trust me, IF you don't take her calls and you stay away from her...she will stop calling. Just give her some time and she will find someone else. Time heals everything...so just step away from the situation.

all I want is a women with a good head on her shoulders and good family values. She will let me be who I am and not try to control me but make decisions with me. age and looks does not matter as long as they take care of themselves.

i agree that you should take her to a meeting with a therapist
at the very least she will come to understand the issue in an appropriate way. it will be good for both of you!

I had exactly the same issue, 28 year old bf, me 46..except it was me not being able to have kids that sealed the deal. We were together 7yrs, and I wish he would have ended it as kindly as your trying to. It was hell for me..and he was very cruel. So, whatever you do....do it with kindness and respect..you'll feel so much better and so will she.

You don't strike me as the type of man who would intentionally hurt the girl.. My best advice is to severe all communication with her.. You made your point - it's over!!! .. Time for her to move on!!! When you answer her calls or se her you're feeding into the problem....

posts are dated (on the upper right hand corner) and some people go back and read threads who may have posters who are no longer here or who's circumstances have changed

I go married at 24. He was 41.

At first it was great

But as the years passed the difference was hard to take for me

I usually date men my age

But my girlfriends say I need someone younger to handle my personality type

So I'm thinkin.....

Brian, I'm not you, so I can't tell you what to do. Neither can anyone else. You know your thoughts better, so decide for yourself while drawing from what you read.

Personally, I would talk to her....maybe in person. Mention that she is the one calling you, not the other way around. Secondly, I would mention that you have a reason for not calling....and that reason is because you do not want any more children. If she wants children....a family....then obviously you are not the man for her no matter how much you love or respect her. She won't be happy with you if that is what she truly wants, but you respect her enough to tell her this now rather than when she feels ready to be a mother. It is only fair for both of you to go separate ways to find the happiness you both want given the issue. Furthermore, you would rather part on good terms, even friendly terms, but if she cannot accept the truth about what you both want, you have no choice but to avoid her phone calls from here on. It is not what you want to do, but what you will be forced to do.

She may not like it. It may take a few days for her to understand. Chances are the message will sink in, and she will know the door is open to a continued friendship if she wants it. Best of all, you never use that dreaded phrase: "Can't we just be friends?"

I am 44 and don't have children. This seems to be a major concern for men. I have found that there seems to be a shortage of eligible men in their forties because they seem to all be married with chidren. Therefore I have tried dating men in their thirties and everything goes well for a few months then the men start wanting kids which I can't have then I'm packed off for a younger fertile model.

Wow, old thread.

That being said, I prefer to date men who are my age or a bit younger.

Yeah....I just revisited the thread, and realized for the first time that it was already 2 years old by the time I posted.
