Back in early February, I went to a social evening at a friends place. At this social evening, my friends had hired a coworker of theirs who spent her weekends acting as a personal chef. She was rather stunning and I made it a point to flirt with her a bit. She was also a tremendous chef.
Before the end of the night, I had found out that she was roughly 14 years my elder, but that didn't stop me from hitting on her. Over the internets, I had arranged to meet up with her a couple of nights later, and well, there were sparks to say the least.
Things continued on with us seeing each other rather regularly. Eventually, it was more than just physical and we became a little less secretive around the people we knew. Most of my friends thought I had struck gold with an incredibly hot older woman, and her friends were supportive of her as well.
We both knew with the difference in age, our relationship probably couldn't go on forever, but yet we proceded, as we both got along great in just about every way. Never a fight, lots of very fluid conversations, many warm moments.
Last night, she came to my place for the first time. I still live at home, and so as was inevitable, she met my parents. It seemed a little bit weird. My parents, and my mom specially, knew I was seeing a much older women, and they were generally happy that I was very pleased with my situation, but meeting her changed things. Today they sat me down and had a long chat, generally asking "What are you doing, and why?" What it came down to was my parents were afraid I was getting myself into trouble I couldn't handle (which I didn't agree with) and that this relationship was weird and couldn't hope to last much longer (which I had to begrudgingly agree with).
Early in the evening, I called her and told her what we had talked about, and while she wasn't exactly pleased, she agreed with the conclusions made. We chatted about it a bit more, and we both agreed that it was a good excuse to end something we otherwise would both have postponed ending. All the same, shes kinda hurt as she was very fond of me, and I am not entirely happy either, as I do think shes pretty awesome, and if it weren't for circumstance, I'd want something long term with a girl like her.
So now I'm left with this feeling that I did everything right (atleast when confronted), but it still sucks for all involved.

) and the parents bringing it up made that clear, even if their rational was silly.
ACK!
