I am a wife and a mother of three grown sons. I live in New York and am an equestrian. Most of my free time is spent riding and caring for my horses now that my sons are out of the house.

I give down to earth advice, as I tell it like I see it...and I've seen alot.

I met this really nice guy (lets call him warren) almost 5 days ago. We met at a bowling alley and I actually kinda liked his friend (Luke)- however when I found out that I was 4 years older than Luke, I knew that wouldnt ever happen because it would be illegal because he was 14 and im 18... so thats a negative. Well, Warren, Luke's friend, ended up letting me stay at his house for the night because it was too late for me to get back to my house. Warren hit on me, and then we started kissing, and well, one thing led to another. THEN, after that happened we were just talking and I found out he is my best friends cousin. I told her about me and warren hanging out and when i did she was like "Please tell me you arent messing with him." I told her i wasnt, but that i was becoming pretty close to him (which is true). I dont know what it is about him though. We are complete opposites. Im more of a voluptous girl, while he is skinny, im in high school, he is graduated, he is country, and I am proper. However the connection we have is hard to ignore; physically and emotionally. He said to me, "I bet you $100.00 that you will fall in love with me." and of course I denied it. I cant tell if by saying that he is wanting to start dating me or not. But based on the situation do you think that I should pursue the relationship or let it diminish? I just wanted an honest opinion.

Well, I wouldn't pursue him, I'd let him pursue me. If you really like him, I don't see why you shouldn't see him. I will say that I wouldn't sleep with him, or even mess around. Right now, you are both infatuated with each other. You shouldn't do anything that you might regret should nothing come of it. It may not develop into a relationship. His $100 bet might just be a clever line or it could be a come on.

My advice is to go slow and don't assume that things will work out. I have a friend who mat and fell in love with and married her complete opposite. Nothing in common. They are now married 35 years and very happily! Others who've done the same thing have regretted it as they have no common ground when the infatuation dies. And die it will.

Date him, with caution.
