I’m a man in my 50’s. I have a 20-something female friend, we chat now and then. I’m kind of like her dad, in a way, because her dad’s been out of her life since she was a young child. So she likes to talk to me and unload her thoughts. I give her what advice I can. There’s a part of me that wants to make the relationship s*****, but I’ve kept those thoughts to myself. Not that she would be interested, but she mentioned something once, about how she’s very open minded about s**… it was like she was hinting, but I didn’t follow up. I think it’s better this way, but sometimes I regret not following that line of conversation with her.
