I was dating a a single mother who is 39. We had a great time together. Never argued but we'd debate and she was just a genuinely fun person to be around. At my age (35), I just don't find young self absorbed women relationship material. I stayed over at her place several days a week and we always enjoyed each others company but we have different core beliefs.
I'm not religious at all and she is but she seemed openminded and we have discussions about space, spirituality and religious history. Last week she said I made her feel like she was 15 again and giddy. She saw us long term but she said "I don't like that you don't have much faith" or "if there is one thing I could change about you is that you would have more faith". I don't remember which one exactly.
A couple days later she said she was falling for me. I was still taken a back by her wanting to change me so I kind of blew her off.
Today we were supposed to hang out and I just texted her what she said and how that was an issue with me. I broke it up impulsively, bluntly. I think the hard part to deal with is that she was playful, giving, and empathetic. Logically, it was probably inevitable. She handled it well, just said fair enough and we were saving each other heart ache down the road. I think attracted to her adherence to something beyond her and maybe she had a point. We need to believe in something she kept reiterating.
I talked to her later in the night and we talked and she handled it well saying that's closure for both of us. What's the other option going back to chasing vain women online? At the end of the day what's more important than being with positive people. It's frustrating, my way of thinking has led to a lot of blocked paths.
