Hi all,
I unexpectedly met someone when I was doing internship 4 years before. I always had a friendly feeling only for him. He is 2 years younger than me. But he loved me all these years with all my negatives. He is asking whether to work out the relationship or not. I don't know what to do. I have never thought about him that way. Am not ready for marriage also because am waiting for my best friend to come back but this person doesn't like my best friend. And I want to marry someone who will accept my friends. Because of the age difference also I don't feel it right to accept his proposal. I don't think my family will also accept.

The age difference isn't much, but unless you love this person why would you accept their proposal? You certainly don't seem enthused about him in any way.

Don’t settle.

doesn't sound like you're at all thrilled from his attentions...you got lots of excuses for why he's not what you want...nothing wrong with that though...doesn't sound like you've "found the one" to me.

A 2-year difference is nothing whether it's the man or woman.

Will going on at least a couple actual dates hurt? I don't see why not. Other than him not liking your friend, he's an overall good person, right? Shares your morals, values, beliefs, you like doing at least some of the same things, have some things in common?

I wouldn't make him not liking your friend be any deal-breaker. Sure it would be nice if they got along, but you do what YOU want & just spend time w/ them separately. I'm not one for hanging out like we're the "3 Musketeers" anyway.

It seems that you don't have any special feeling for him. If you think that this will not work out properly please let him know. Don't let him build dreams of you.

Are you in an arranged marriage culture?

I ask, both because of the content about your parents not approving, and because you seem not especially fazed by not feeling romantic feelings toward this person.
