Dating older men was not zomethibg i planned on in life, however once i started dating i seemed to only find older men attractive.
My boyfriend Jorge and i have been dating since October 2010. We met exercising around our neigborhood. He waz a recent dicorced father of a 2 (now 3) year old. I was a university student who just moved to Florida.
When i moved to Miami we still saw each other 4x a month. Recently he asked me to move back to central Florida to advance our relationship. After much debate, i decided to leave Miami. Now ive been back for 4-5 months and if anything i see him less or the same as i did when i lived ib Miami. Thjngs have not even attempted to advance. I questioned him about it and he acted like i was speaking another language! I told him i am fed up and we need to go our separate ways, but thats not what i really want.
My question is this:
Why do you think he did not want to advance the relationship?
Do you think he just wanted me closer and more convienent for gim (possibly even control)?
Do you think my responce to this event was appropriate?
If we speak again what should i say to get my point across?
* he is also a cardiologist with his own pratice, ill be il school for 2 more years. Our families know about each other, i have met his son, etc.

you don't need an older guy messing with your head. you have your whole life ahead of you. don't live too fast. take your time finding the right guy. someone who treats you the right way. he will come to you. [ sparkle26's advice column | Ask sparkle26 A Question ]

I mean tell him that you thought the two of you were going to attempt to advance our relationship together I moved back so we could spend more time together but it seems we are at the place in our relationship as we were while I was in Miami.

Just want to point out your are not alone. Me and my boyfriend have the exact same age gap (yes i did the math ;)) However my situation is diferent to yours.
But regarding your questions,
I think that he may have been having doubts with you being so far away. So it is possible he wanted to control you, or just simply know your close.
You need to make it clear to him you moved back because of him. And to be with him, because he means something to you and he cant be messing you around like this.
You need to ask him clearly where he stands. Whislt also saying very clearly where you stand. Because you dont really want to split up.
I can understand your response but if it was not true then it was not fair. you need to tell him yu want to be together, but only if he is willing to be clear with you.
I wish your relationship the best of happiness
