He is 25 years older than me and I'm 26 years old. It might be worth mentioning that the guy has one kid (who is 16 years old) and he broke up with his wife 3 years ago..
I’ve been friends with this guy for about half a year now. We’ve always gotten along really well, we have many things in common. And I always thought he was cute. A few months ago, the friendship dynamic changed. In the past few months he changed in a way where he comes up with activities for us to do together, he talks more confidently, he is a whole different person (when I’m also around, as I’ve been told).
It all started when I told him he was was a good looking man, he flirted back and told me I'm a good looking woman too
In the past 2-3 weeks, we’ve basically been together a lot more than we used to. Two weeks ago he invited me to a cocktail-party his friend was hosting, and we ate dinner + he mentioned that he used to go alone to these kind of parties but he thought of me and wanted to invite me. He became really protective of me when we were at that party. Last time we hung out together by ourselves, it took him about 15 min to calm down, he was visibly nervous.
He touches my arm when we talk, he always put his hand on my back when we walk and he is constantly touchy with me. Yesterday I invited him out for dinner, I went to the toilet and when I got back, I brushed his arm telling him I'm back now. He liked it. He then wanted to put his hand on my thigh, he just stopped halfway and he hesitated and put his hand on the back of my chair.
The biggest problem is how to break the touch barrier beside just touching each other on the arms / hugs etc?
And how should I approach this situation? Should I wait for him to make the first move? How can I encourage him or what can I do? What is your opinion and advice on the matter? I haven’t been in this situation I have no idea how to handle it.
There’s nothing wrong with being enamored with an older man. You might have a meaningful relationship with him for awhile.
However, the clock is ticking for both of you. You might want kids. He probably wants to retire soon and travel. There are so many things that will make you incompatible, long term.
Perhaps you should look for a younger man you can grow old with, someone who will be as attractive as this gentleman, but in twenty years?

Hard to provide an answer since nobody knows what you are both looking for.
Seems like he likes you. If you're looking for a boyfriend, then, just ask him where his plans are for the two of you. He has a kid, so that is another thing to consider. If you dont like the kid then just forget the whole thing. Just speak truth. No sense in wasting time.
