Well, so did I. I voted yes. I was mortified for long time that I, as an older woman wanted to get involved with my best friends son and my daughters friend as well. I have known him since he was 3. I believed that I was crossing some boundaries that should not be crossed. Many questions also ethical issue and was my feelings beyond romance.
Our relationship has grown steadily over the last years; he has always liked to touch me and holds me every chance he got, but I was always ‘not very accommodating’ and I did not let him know I had strong feelings for him. When he turned 18 I told him, I wanted to spend time with him as a friend and not only when we run or play tennis together. He had started holding my hand, touching me, hugging me, etc. I just wanted to enrol him in charm school if I could find one, he became so direct!! It was very hard to get him in the right mind set also because I am so in love; would the families think…is he at 18 capable of making sensible decisions etc….
