Dear Jade, I've recently divorced, and about to go out on my very first date in 15 years. The guy is nine years younger than me, so I'm not sure if I should down play thae fact that I'm older than him (he doesn't know my real age) or be truthful. Advice? Cougar HE SAID: While on your date, you should focus on having a good time instead of the age difference. The best thing about going on dates is that pre-arranged “friendship” is non-committal. Despite a fifteen year hiatus, the concept of dating is still the best opportunity for you to get to know the other person. The age difference between you and this guy can be good and bad. While you may be youthful at heart, the result of a 15 -ear marriage will be apparent. Your maturity level and mannerisms could be an issue for your date. On the other hand, these characteristics are not bad attributes to have. In fact, some guys may find these elements in a woman to be very sexy. Regardless of whom you end up with in a relationship, I think you should be true to yourself first. I am confident that there is someone out there for you. If he likes you, then your age is irrelevant. |

SHE SAID: Wow, you must be hot to score a date with a guy who is nine years your junior. You go girl! With that said, just be yourself. I mean he's obviously attracted to you regardless of your real age. I wouldn't volunteer your real age, unless he asked (and he should know better than to ask a lady her age!). This being your first date after your divorce you might feel a little uncomfortable, but I'm sure you'll get your groove back real quick. Just enjoy the date!!!! BUT MAMA SAID: If there is the opportunity, you should be honest about your age. There is no point in starting things off with a lie. It's too much work and you won't be able to relax and be yourself and, at some point, you will probably end up saying something that may tip him off as to your age. And what's to say that he won't be more interested in you if he knows your true age? |
