Is this a bad idea? I'm 19 and inexperienced, he's 27 and divorced...?

Question

I really like him, but I'm afraid I'm getting in over my head. He's sweet and intelligent, and I think he's being sincere. We're both in college (I'm a junior and he's a senior). What do you think? Is this a bad idea?

Answer 1

Yes, bad idea.

Answer 2

No its not a bad idea!  I am going to disagree with everyone else.  EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT.  

Just realize, there are many reasons for divorce.  And just because he is divorced is no reason to not like him or want to be with him.  Just be a little cautious and don't be too quick until you get to know him better.  Find out from him why he got divorced.  And also, spend time with him and find out what all of his problems might be.  Pay attention to his behavior and attitude.  If it looks like he is going to be a problem, well...find someone else.  But if it looks like this guy just made the wrong choice the first time and he really is a sincere, loveable and likeable guy, why would you want to turn him down?

19 and 27 are good ages...don't let a bunch of people here tell you to let someone go who might just be exactly the person you want to be with.

But do use some caution and common sense until you know him a lot better.  You won't find that out unless you give him a chance.

Now, on the side of caution, you have to realize that there are always TWO sides to every story.  His and HERS.  You are going to hear one side of the story.  What was hers?  Keep that in mind.  It might be he got married for all the wrong reasons and divorce was the right thing to do.

Only you can say...and you won't know unless you give him a chance, right?  Give the guy a fair chance...that is what I say.

Answer 3

yeah it is.

Answer 4

VERYY BAD IDEA!! do not do this. a young girl should not be dating a much older man. things will not end good if you go through with this

Answer 5

No I dont. Both of you take things slowly as he has been through the pain of a divorce. Give the relationship time to develop, to flourish. Take time to learn everything you can about each other. It will work if you want it to but remember whether single and dating someone or married, ALL relationships have to be worked at every day of your life to keep them fresh and alive.
