I am recently divorced at 30 and have met a guy who is 23. We have "hooked" up several times since our meeting but he never calls me. The only time we do hook up is when we run into each other at a bar. He is immature around his buddies but when we are together, he is very mature acting. Is the age difference a shameful thing? I'm using him as much as he is using me but my friends don't seem to get that. Is this wrong? Should I stop it before it goes any further? I am newly single after being with the same guy for the last 7 years.

Shelly,

I am in the same situation you are in, but our ages are different. I am 37 seeing a guy who is 30. He does not act immature... but I often wonder if I should be seeing someone so much younger than me. I have been divorced and have 2 kids, while he has not yet been through that. I think of a 23 year old....and to be honest with you, I think he is out just to have fun.! So if that is what you want...go for it!

If you're ok with just hooking up with him for sex, then what's the problem?

If you are hoping for "more", then yes, you should stop hooking up with him before you get attached and get hurt, because it's not going to happen.
