I am a married and 52 years old man. I am very much happy in my family. I love my wife too. I have a son who is 20 & about to become an engineer whithin a years time. I am volunterily retired person (an engineer). My wife is post graduate physician. I run a library for kids as a hobby. I met with a girl who is just eighteen and some how the way she behaves with me I strongly feel that she in love with me. I have no intention (& never had any ) like this, neither I behaved with her in this manner but it seems..... As I am very good in talking many people just like me the way I am. I normaly encourage people and try to make them happy in whatever situation they are. I just maintain my hobby of making friends. I deeply think that she must not go further & get herself disappointed in any manner. I don't know how to open myself and tell her that she is incorrect. My wife has also noticed the fact and she says she is idiot and just forget. What should I DO???

you must tell her directly.He is verry young he will pass over...but if you don't tell her she will be more disspointed.She must live her life, she must macke a friend of hic age.Somebody must tell her that.Or try not to talck to her anymore becouse you're doing a bad thinck to her.it doesn't mather that she will be upset but she is just a child.

If you don't love her, don't let her love you. it's lucky that your wife know well the story and doesn't find fault with you. So, ask you wife to talk with that 18 year old girl to stop disturbing you.

ya, i agree too.. the girl may be in the process of oedepus complex, and it may be easier for your wife to talk to her rather than you.

Are you sure? Has she actually said she loves you? You possibly have misunderstood the situation.

No she didn't say this in these three words. So do you mean I should not bother till she says this? Or should I ask her directly? that will be a shameful thing for me! Wait untill fire?

if she did not say that than u can not be sure ... make a biger distance betwen you too and see how she reacts ... if she really dose love you than thats pretty bad ... i don't think you should just tell her to stay away or something like that ... make her not like you anymore ... or get your son to make a party and invite here and find someone for her so that shed forget about you and you would bouth happy

Will it not be a selfishness on my part? What about my wife? I said she has noted the same thing like me, but she has not given me any clean cit and permission to proceed or idiotness. She may kill me alive! What about her sincererity for last 22 years? and why? You said stay calm enjoy life? Consequences?

If your guess is correct then you can try one (or all) method out of these five. 1)You ignore her every time she comes to talk you. 2)Talk harshly or bitterly even if she talks some normal discussion. 3)Your wife being a lady she can just shout at her when you are not at home. 4)Tell her parents about this issue and ask them to stop her coming to your place. 5)Say her that this and this girl is more beautiful than you. Always praise some other girl in front of her till she gets irritated. I am sure you will succeed! Right? Write on mylot when you come out. OK?

It seems you have precisely understood the issue. Your reply is very much to the solution. Unfortunately I should not have made a hurry in choosing the best response.

Be tactful and take about how much you love your wife and kids. Speak about how you love the little things she does. Show you are family centered.

I think it's tough to know what to do until you can tell for sure if she is in love with you. If you find out for sure, you have to tell her no. Mike

To me it seems she is nice to you as she may be interested in your 20year old son. give a thought to this.

hi, is it possible she is missing a fatherfigure? make sure that your not interested, and let her go if she tries anything then you must do somethingand talk to her! dont'you remember the time, when your in love with your teacher at the age of 6/7? a lot of girls are going to be young adults, they may be look up to older men! the boys on their own age are so immature(that is what they say) so maybe it is just a crush! hope you can solve it!

I commend you for not wanting to cheat on your wife, that is awesome. Are you sure this 18yr old has a thing for you? I am just asking cause it could be extremly embarassing confronting her if she is just overly friendly by nature. If she truly does love you or have a thing for you, well then you do need to confront her in a nice way not a harsh one. Just explain to her that you do not feel comfortable with how she seems to be acting towards you and that nothing but a platonic friendship could ever happen. Hopefully she respects this, if not you may have to be a little more firm. Good luck!

Well woman, not all, can be very persistent. Some can be all out psychopaths. For one, I say your best bet even if you dont like it, is to find another hobby before this adolescent tries to interfere with your life or even worse. You may not believe it but especially these days girls are even more devious and dangerous at their young age. If you dont believe me then just wait and see, but I dont advise it. Just play it safe and get out of the situation. Sometimes you just have to take a big step before someone else does. Atleast you and your family could go on with your lives in peace like life is meant to be.You may think its the best thing to tell this girl about your feelings and let her down, but it could just cause more problems than you ever imagined. I may not know you but as a fellow human being and someone who has dealt with alot of people, including all ages and all races. Theres just not that many sane people anymore. Thats why I wish I was born back in the 20's or 30's. Atleast you could trust a better amount of people back then.Please be safe and god bless.

Its ok because its a natural feeling about which u come to know very late. If she loves u its ok but keep a control on ur self

The age difference if not a big deal, but you are married. If you were single you can persuite it, but i understand that you are happiky married. It is a possibility that the girl is just friendly and outgoing. It can also be a crush, i honestly dont think that she is in love with you. I would suggest to distance yourself a little from her, but if she pushes you can definitly confront her and explain that you are married and honestly not interested.

Just because she has a crush on you (not the same as being in love...) doesn't mean she is silly enough to act on it. I had crushes on older men when I was young, but never pursued them. If she hasn't actually stated her feelings or bought up the subject, I would just "play dumb" and treat her as you do everyone else, except maybe bring up how great your wife is in conversation more often. She will probably naturally lose interest and find someone closer to her age. If she does bring it up, tell her she is a lovely person, but that you are very much in love with your wife and only view her as a friend and nothing more (then be sure not to spend too much time with her after that, especially not alone). She may be disappointed, but that is part of life. Good luck.

you are totally wrong. The "play dumb" policy would be better as you said it. I will be back with the success later. OK?

What do you wish? Who's success you mean? I have not yet dared to do anything. One thing I have changed is that, As soon as she enters our home I just pretend that I am very busy and I should go out urgently. My wife has started telling her about me that how bad man I am, and how I ruined life of one imaginary girl and so on .... Let us see what happens. will take time....

dont worry about it many young girls get a crush on older men at one time or another usually it is girls who are very attached to thier father or lacking a close father relationship and are needy for such a relationship ,so often they will confuse these feelings with those of love and become involved sexually with a older man , some older men also find themselvves unhappy with the ageing process and unfortunately will accept the approaches of a young girl but in most cases both do not understand the drive behind this attraction and may ruin thier current lives in the process my advic would not to think seriously of it dont giv her any acess to you other than normal conversation and keep giving your wife the attention she deserves

You must to tell her immediately. Don't hesitate because if you don't tell her any sooner, she'll be even more disappointed later on. You must mention that you are a family man who loves his wife and son very much.
