Don't really know where to start...

I met a guy at a local sports club and we became friends really quickly, he's charming, old fashioned and frankly a lovely guy.

A couple Of days ago he gave me his number and we started chatting and flirting as we usually do, then Monday night he gave me a lift home from the sports club. He was really sweet and opened the car door for me and carried my bag to the door; I then invited him in for tea, we chatted about day to day topics and it was nice to actually have an intellectual conversation with someone. We started flirting and got closer and closer until we were cuddled up on the sofa. He started reading my palms and complimenting me etc.

Before he left we were star gazing, he explained all the different constellations etc to me then hugged me and kissed me on the head, we then started flirting again and then he kissed me, it was like fireworks going off...

I then woke up the next morning to flowers and a handwritten letter at my door. The letter itself was flirty yet caring.

I sent him a text thanking him and asking if he wanted to see eachother again, he said he did.

The only problem I have is I'm not sure if he is looking at me as a love interest or as a friend and I don't know how to find out.
I'm aware there is a very large age gap between us but I have often been told I'm an "old soul".

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

He would not have given you the second kiss if he was not interested in more than friends.

My guess is; love interest. My hunch is you know this already, but you're not sure if want to trust you're own judgement here. If you like him, relax, roll with it. See where it goes.

How big of an age difference? If more than about 10-15 years, that's a huge gap. Go with it, just be wise. Older men have the experience to wine & dine and seduce a young inexperienced woman. You may be starry eyed about his status, money, wisdom, etc and could easily be manipulated.

Also, give him advance notice before you sleep with him. He'll need about an hour so the Viagra can kick in.

sound like overkill to me. Just keep your eye on him until you figure out what his angle is.

It's obvious what his angle is. He wants a young sweet thing to have sex.

Maybe a trophy girlfriend ?

I dated a guy who was 18 years older for 2.5 years. He's one of the best people I've ever met, and even though it didn't work out long-term for us, he's still one of my closest friends. Proceed with caution as you would with any guy, but realize you will have some differences to overcome, but that's with any relationship. I don't regret for a second the time I spent with my older ex. He treated me better than anyone.
