Not sure what to make of this guy?

I've gone out with a man from EH a couple of times
This guy is fairly good looking apparently incredibly wealthy, He was married for 20+ years before; he's divorced now - has been divorced for a few years. He is 13 years older than me.

He talked about how gorgeous and spectacular I am; about how he wants to get married and thinks we're a great match, and really, this seemed sincere to me.

he seems to be genuinely really super into me - more than I have ever experienced after going out with someone just twice. It freaks me out a little bit.
I am a 43 year old woman - attractive, pretty fit... good mom, intelligent woman with decent, passive income. I grew up in a moneyed environment, but not the really huge money that he seems to be putting forth. I am not a supermodel, and I'm not used to this level of attention. My real question is: How does this guy sound to you? Am I getting myself into trouble here? Has anyone been out with someone like this before?

At your age...and his...the age difference doesnt matter much.....but having children could (especially if your kids are under 10).



Why are you impressed by him buying you stuff. He is abviously trying to buy your affection...probably has done this in the past....

only to see this change after he has you.

are you the first one he has dated since his divorce?

If you dont feel comfortable with him parading you as a prize on dates or you are uncmfortable in going these multimillionaire functions you will have issues in this geting serious.

Can't say if you're getting yourself into anything here, but I went out with a guy like that recently. First date was tickets to see Conan O'Brien live on his recent concert tour, outstanding seats, and a pricey dinner. He drove a VERY expensive car. Talked about his millions in investments, too. Was all over me. He is 62. He had tickets for (wait for it) the Backstreet Boys for a couple nights after Conan. What 62 year old guy buys Backstreet Boy tickets? He asked if I wanted to go. Not only have I no interest in the Backstreet Boys, I had other plans for that night. So then he asks me if he can ask out my best friend, whom he has never met or spoken to, because I'm an intelligent and understanding woman and should have no problem with this. Turns out he spends a TON of money on tickets to just about every show that comes to town, but only if he can get tickets in the first 10 rows center. Then he apparently lures women into dates with him. Oh, and to add to this, on the way home he mentions he had had prostate cancer and could no longer acheive an erection but had a manul pump located in his testicles. Asked me if I wanted to play with it. While he was driving. Lordy how I wish I was making all of this up.

So, I would say, if you like this guy and he's not exhibiting any creep tendencies, try to slow it down a bit, tell him you need more time to go overboard and then see how he reacts. The guy I was with was clearly desperate for a woman and was trying, I guess, to buy one. Makes me worried about any guy who's touting his wealth.

I don't think he is coming off as a bad person. I am curious in knowing why does he have to mention his wealth to you? I also don't agree with the amount of money he has spent, but that's my personal opinion.

OK, that is TOO funny! No Backstreet Boys or manual pumps here... thank god. Sort of hilarious and tragic at the same time.
