I See No Problem With Age Difference In Relationships

I'm out of a 5yr rel. since June 23rd. He's been out almost 2 years. So I can understand why his feelings are way more progressed than mine. We've been talking about 5+ weeks. Not to mention he's been 'admiring' me for the past 4 years...... However, my feelings need to catch up bc tho he told me he's falling(already?) I told him I'm starting to have feelings but insist we continue to take things slow. Sorry not sorry. Trying to learn from past mistakes. Don't want to make them again! And no we haven't been intimate yet! I want my next relationship to be my last! He's 46 and I'm 38 btw
