I recently left my emotionally abusive ex. The next week I started dating this really nice guy, but he is much older (20 years age difference). He is very attracted to me, but it is not reciprocated on my part. We are very compatible and have lots in common though. We just kissed last night and I hated it. I have no attraction to him and would rather be friends.
My mother seems to think I should eventually marry this guy because he can help provide a good life for me and my son. I will be graduating from college soon (less than a year), with a 3.8 GPA, several honor societies, and national awards. I can definitely take care of me and my son, but he could help provide "extras." Material possessions are nice, but not to this extent.
I think I should stop dating him; I doubt the attraction will ever be there. What are some of the opinions here?
