Continue chat with my ex friend's son?

So one of my very good friends for two decades randomly ditched me years ago. Never contacted me again. It truly hurt. We were such good friends.
Ive finally moved on from the hurt, but her son who is now in their early 20s sometimes messages me. I used to babysit him when he was 10. He told me last year on a message that he liked me, romantically. I wasn't sure how to reply but have chatted off and on as friends.
I am unsure to continue...I do talk about casual things but I don't know to keep chatting or what. I know he is a good kid I just am unsure going forward. Thoughts?

Just make it perfectly clear that all he's going to get is conversation! Tell him straight out, don't just imply it.

My esthetician is 37 with a 24 year old Fiance. I wouldn’t say him being young is bad. From what I observed about men, they’re either going to be mature or not. Age doesn’t mature them. I’ve met many 50+ year old dudes who act like high schoolers.

Just go with your personal flow. If you’re not interested, don’t do it obviously. If you are, think about your boundaries and make them clear from the start.

Well, if you’re “unsure”, was it an accident that you called him a “kid”? Women don’t date kids.

Also, isn’t this up to you? If you want sex for fun or as a confidence builder, go for it. It doesn’t have to be permanent or exclusive.

@Adogslife I just want it completely casual..so yes I do not wish to date. I think it is quite an age gap. But I wasn't sure to continue as friendship. I have not replied to his last message. I guess I can talk once in a while .ty friend 🌻

Don't do it, unless you're ready to "raise" a boy in a man's body.🤷‍♂️

Hey, it could've happened. 🤷‍♂️

@MorbidCynic

BTW: That was 15 years ago. Believe it or not, I used to be a handsome man. 🤷‍♂️
@calicuz Men start balding in their late 20’s. Guys I went to high school with now have foreheads bigger than mine.

Be honest and tell him you are not romantically interested in him, but you like him as a friend. Maybe even add in that you enjoyed babysitting him as a kid.

Do you think your friend might have cut contact because of her son's feelings?
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Starcrossed I never thought of that.. I don't think so as he and I didn't talk a few years ago.

Do what you think is right by you .

What would you like to get out of your relationship with him? Is chatting casually as far as you'd like to take it?
Coralmist · 41-45, F
Dolimyte · 41-45, M
@Coralmist then make that clear to him and continue to chat as long as you are both interested in doing so.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Dolimyte Thanks 🍀

This sounds like a bunch of hurt in the making. The age difference, his mother, that you used to babysit him, all potentially combine to be a right mess. 🤗

@ineedadrink i know but i feel b a d not replying a t a ll too

You probably know where the conversation will lead too soon...
You're a grown woman,would you consider a short term fun relationship?
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@HotPizza71 We have kept it Casual but he does mention to chat on phone but i don't like phone anyways.

Sounds like trouble a brewing
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Lilnonames we only chat casually but he does want to chat on phone..I Declined a s i am not a phone Person anyway
Lilnonames · F
@Coralmist and he will bug you more.just seems strange to me
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
possibly your ex friend is using their son to get close to you, seems odd I'd disengage regardless
