It's not that. We're (40yo) are more laid back (looking)
Never in a rush for things. We're don't with all the nervous energy from our 20s and 30s. And just.... chill.
He's not leading her on. He's just... letting her enjoy a ride.
He feels he's too old for her anyway. No chance. And that she's probably embarrassed at the thought of him liking her.
I see your point
(Sorry downvoted on the topic lol meant to upvote) really doh? I feel like the way he said it at the early chapters he was like "let us blossom toGetHReR" is lowkey misleading and makes it sound like shes a special partner. But then the words he said in the chapel was even more misleading like " I'll CaTcH yOu if you fall at YoUr WeDdiNg" idk seems like very intimate kinda "best friend or family" action kinda vibe. Like you wouldnt say that to any acquaintance, and this is also kinda hinting that you hope/want/expect to be in their life still when they get married. Idk maybe I'm just sensitive lol （/TДT)/ but it was also sa dx ge that she had Hope's that "maybe he is the ine" only to get it to shut down a moment later. (Well I guess better early than later though)
He misleads a lot but maybe that's just his personality. I don't really like that though, But it is better early than later
As I said... he probably feels he's too old for her.
It's intimidating. Intoxicating. But at the same time... He's old enough to not let his emotions get ahead of himself.
But I'm still confused as to what you mean. Like are you saying that he probably said the "oh I'd never date a coworker" thing cuz he thinks he's too old? Or is he flirting/teasing her because he thinks he's too old Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Both
All these characteristics just reminded me why I'm so attracted to older men, and at the same time intimidated with the thought of being in a relationship with them. I'm young and inexperienced so I'm all heaps of nervous energy. Times like these that I hope I entertained some puppy love in high school as a practice in romance lol
How old are you?
If you're a minor... I'd say stay away from men in their 40s....
Because if they're will to date you, there's something wrong with them. 30s too.
Wait till your 20s...
I'm old enough now, but there were a few older men who tried to date me even when I was still a minor. Thank goodness I was wise enough to separate fantasy to reality, and recognized that there was really something wrong with them approaching me.
YIKES
I feel like he was leading her on. His choice though
