Need some "dating" advice...

Help! I am frequently at a nursing home as my son is staying here during his recovery. Each afternoon, I have coffee with one of the other residents. All of a sudden, her son kept showing up at "coffee time". He shows up at other times more and more. It took me a little bit of time (because I am too old for this) to catch on to the fact that he likes me. He is old enough to be my dad, almost. I am not attracted to him at all, even though he's a really nice older gentleman...
He did state his intentions to see where this "relationship" goes. I told him I didn't know we were "going" anywhere. He keeps "dropping hints" of liking me and what "the future" holds for "us".... ugh!
I really do not like being ungly to anyone, but this guy and I have no common interests, and I need to know how to handle the situation gently. Especially since I have coffee with his mom each day...
Help! Any advice???

you just have to tell him the truth and your feelings toward him. don't make him wait because he's just waiting for nothing and it makes him hurt more. the best solution for this, is when he ask you again,just tell him the truth, and this will make you relieve.

you are absolutely right. One problem though is he hasn't even asked. He jsut started "making his move"... ugh! I need to find a way to tell him. You are right about not making him wait! thanx

Hello :-) there's nothing wrong when you someone whether he's too old or young for you.. for as long as your happy to be with him everytime you enjoy a cup of coffee.. Just be in yourself, and think the realities and possibilities that may come in the future.. Good luck!!!

I am not really concerned to much with the actual "age." He is old in his thinking and I am not. I like to hike, run, play racquetball and just act silly. He likes to sit and fish and much slower things. Plus I am in ministry and he has no interest in ministry.
