I'm 25, she's probably 35. I met her last weekend through a mutual friend and we really hit it off. She doesn't hide the fact that she's hot and heavy for me; she doesn't play games like the younger girls I'm used to. I am really quite impressed with myself... she has a upper management position developing perfumes and drives a fancy car and I am a college grad looking for a lowly entry level job. Is she a 'cougar' just looking for some fun? Is it normal for pretty, accomplished women to be attracted to young guys like myself? Anyone with experience in this matter, please let me know what you think.

Also, what do modern societal norms dictate about this kind of situation? Could I bring this woman home for Christmas???

Question for you. Does it bother you?

If I were in your shoes I would say score. If you like her and get along well with her why not?

God forbid I cough fall in love with her...I can't imagine watching her get old sooner than me. I'll be watching Cocoon all the time wondering about vitality or damning myself for not being closer to her age. This is a juncture I have never seriously crossed.

I appreciate all the help you are able to give

Hmmm ... I don't know about bringing her home to mom and dad, but who knows, maybe they'll be accepting of the situation. My son has been going with a lady who is 11 years older than he is and it doesn't really bother me. In fact, I like her a lot. Plus, I really dig her Hungarian accent, so I'm developing an accent of my own.

Why should it bother her, she seasoned by now and knows how to rock your world 100 times better than she did at 25, or better than any 25 year old.

It seems like you're doing just fine and that you both just want a casual short termed affair. So just go with the flow.

I doubt it will turn into a long term relationship, not if you are already worried about her aging and losing her looks. But I don't think that she's looking for a long term relationship you either. You will just be her boy toy.

As to you bringing her home to your parents for Christmas, it depends on your relationship with your parents. I've never brought a guy home to my parents house for the holidays unless we were in a serious relationship. If I was just starting to date someone, I wouldn't introduce him to them. But go ahead and do it if only for the shock value. lol

Keep in mind she may outlive you. So don't fret over mundane things like that. Whats important is you two found each other and get along so well. Dwell on that. She could very well be the best thing that ever happens to you.

That is great advise.

Is she wrinkly like a prune or something?
