I'm what you might call a late bloomer, I didn't lose my virginity until I was 29. I'm 34 now and feeling like I missed out on a lot of fun, not just the sex, but dating mostly. There are times when I feel like I just want to be married (I think that's natural at my age) but at the same time I have conflicting feelings about this because I feel I haven't dated enough or experienced different people. I average maybe one date a year. I'm single right now. It's hard to meet people because I work in an office full of women and my social circle is not that big and most guys that I meet in my age group lately are either in a relationship or turn out to be depressive types.
My question is this: I recently started taking a science class on Saturdays at the university because I've always really been interested in it. The thing is, my class is almost all university-age guys, aged between 20-22 (I'm guessing.) There are only three other girls. I'm often told I look 25 so I have no problem blending in. There is one guy whom I find particularly good-looking and nice, but I can't help feel like it would be wrong to start showing an interest in him because of the age difference. Also, I'm not sure if he'd really want to date someone of my age who has an established career. We bumped into each other on the street a few days ago and he gave me a big smile. Should I go for it, have fun and make up for lost time, or should I just resign myself to being dateless for god who knows how much longer?
