Hulllooooo!!!
I am currently on a dating website which can be interesting at times! LOL! However I finally met up with a guy whith whom I had been exchanging emails with. HE is 8 years younger than me - I'm 34. At first I thought, wow what an age difference! But we had email conversations and it seemed fine. We spoke on the phone and it was fine. We finally met on Friday and it was AWESOME!!!! I called him Sunday night and asked if he wanted to come over and watch a movie I had rented and he did. He was such a gentleman!!! I looooved it! So, here I am really liking this guy, to my surprise actually. And although I don't really have a question ... I'm not sure how much of a relationship I want with someone, or so I have told other men, but with this guy.... it's different...and I have NEVER dated someone younger than me...not even by a year. I guess I will continue to enjoy the feeling. :)

Stacy,
The problem is we have been out 3 times and I don't know his financial situation. I know he is working on a contract basis. If I know that he is hard on cash, I don't mind paying. If he have money and I always offer to pay and I am afraid to set a precedent as Rebecca said earlier.
He has asked me to go skating with him tomorrow. On our last lunch date, I paid. For skating, we are going to hire the skating shoes for both of us, how do I handle this? Do you think I should offer to pay for parking and let him pay for the shoes or each pay their own way. This is awkward. I don't know what to do. We are still very new so we are comfortable discussing money. I have an office job so my income is pretty stable. I have no idea of his.
any advise is appreciated.
I would not offer to pay anything. He's the one who invited you--let him have the pleasure of treating you.

That's one spot in which I'm lucky - my family and friends are all VERY open-minded about age differences and that sort of thing.
