Hi Senior Dating Agency. I’m wondering if you can help me with a dilemma – more set my mind at rest I think. I recently met a lovely man on your site and we’ve been dating regularly. However, even though my children are grown up and living their own lives, I’m worried that they won’t accept him. I’ve only been widowed a year and although I’m ready for companionship I worry that they will think it’s too soon. Should I tell them or should I keep it to myself for a bit longer?
Thanks, Jan x
Hi Jan,
First and foremost let us say congratulations for meeting someone on the site. That’s fantastic news and not something that you should be ashamed of at all. Losing someone is never easy and the truth is, you’ll never forget that person, or stop loving them for that matter. However, you can’t let that stop you from moving on with your life. We all crave companionship (the type you can’t get from friends and family) so you shouldn’t feel guilty. Remember, it’s your life not theirs and you deserve to be happy.
Without having met your children I can only assume that they would want the best for you. As they are grown up and leading their own lives, I’m sure they would be want you to be happy too.
If you’re nervous, start by telling your family that you’ve joined a mature dating service and see what they think of that. Chances are they’ll think it’s a great idea that your thinking about meeting someone new and moving on with your life. However, why not just bite the bullet and introduce your family to your new man. I’m sure that they’ll love him just as much as you do, see how happy you are and welcome him into the family.
Hope that’s helped a little.
