mine is more of a statement than a question, although if anyone could tell me how to mend my broken heart feel free,lol. I met a young man whom I thought sincerely wanted an actual relationship with me...I had never thought of dating someone younger before (I am 51 and he is 28) but he was quite persistent. I finally went out with him, and ended up caring for him much more than i wanted to....the connection I felt was something I don't remember feeling for a long time,. but I didnt say anything. it had been some time since I had dated...and I thought perhaps it was just that I needed someone in my life to hold, just to be there... well, stupid me, I'm sure u can tell where this is leading right? I ended up being the mans fantasy, and all he wanted was a FWB..geez. I really never saw it coming. was on a legitimate dating site, looking for someone my age...actually told the man that he was too young for me several times before I finally agreed to go out. even laughed at him and asked him if he wasn't worried people wouldn't think I was his mother. and of course he said no... so we get together, and we really hit it off. or so I thought... so now here I am in this relationship with this man, my heart all tied up and find out I'm just a flipping FWB....wow...stupid and here I thought the guy actually had some feelings for me...u would think at my age I should have known better. but when someone is texting u constantly, and acting crazy about you I didn't know this was the way that it was...ok! so bottom line...very hurt here, very stupid! no one to blame but me I know even though I have never done anything like a FWB before and wasn't looking for it and was kind of blind sided by it. I still take full ownership of this. just watch your back and your hearts because mine still hurts... dj
