Anonymous Question: Hello SashaMonique, I just turned 27 years old and I have been married but it didn't work out. I started dating a man who is 16 years older than me and I am not really attracted to this man but he treats me well.
I have been through a lot in my life so I decided that I will make myself happy with the person who is interested in making me happy.
I forgot to add that I have a five-year-old daughter by my ex. My parents do not know yet about this man but I will tell them soon. I live on my own so I feel that this is okay. What are your thoughts regarding this situation?
SashaMoniqueTalks: This is a good question. Did you try dating men in your own age bracket before dating this man? You stated that you have been married and it didn't work out and I think this is the reason you have decided on dating this older man.

Honestly, I feel that if you are happy, keep dating him and see where the relationship goes. The problem with dating someone older, you will not have a lot in common with a forty-three-year-old and the relationship will get stale very fast.
You said that you are not attracted to this man and you didn't say why but this could be a problem. There are older men who are dogs too so you still have to be careful. Tell your parents, they will probably be upset but it is your life and you are grown.
