Dear Prudence,
I have been seeing a young man for a year and several months. He is younger than I. I love him very much. Now to the heart of the matter: He comes by on his lunch break normally, and we are in bed in less than 15 minutes. I have never been on a “real” date with him.
I invited him to go with me to a restaurant. He seemed to like the idea, but yesterday his text seemed like he did not want to go. It seems he is ashamed to be seen with an older lady. If he doesn’t go along with it tonight, should I end this relationship?
