is this a weird age gap 🫣

Okay so for background, i am 19. My son is one and im 6 months pregnant. I split from my ex (25) earlier this year. I got chatting to some people on tinder, just for fun really, and found a good friend in a guy who is 28 and has a daughter of his own. He has expressed interest in meeting up. we have been talking everyday for about a week? My mum seems to think it’s wildly inappropriate and weird for this man to want to meet me, given i am pregnant and 19. I’m torn! On one end, i was 16 and my ex was 23 when we started dating and that was fine with her / in general. But i also kind of get the fact it could be weird a 28 year old is interested in a pregnant 19 year old.. I just don’t know what to think😭 i didn’t get no bad vibes off him until my mum blew her lid about it. She was seriously upset and said she was concerned that im going to get myself in a dangerous situation. I really didn’t see it as that deep! is she right? as i think she may be🤣

If you were my daughter I would probably blow my lid too 😅 I just think it’s weird. You have never met in person, yet he’s expressing a huge interest in you as a pregnant 19 year old. And I promise I don’t mean that about you in a negative light. If you were 25 I would also think it was weird. But given your age, I think it’s even more of a red flag. It could be a weird fetish situation. At the end of the day, you’re an adult. But just be careful 😊

Depends how you meet up, if you do a morning / early afternoon coffee / cake situ and then just do small things for future meetups. I personally wouldnt do anything later at night / at his until you know him or if you want to pursue a physical relationship. It could be a fetish, but on the other hand dating with kids is hard and maybe hes found it difficult too and has found an interest in you? Just be careful, but I think thats needed whenever you meet someone new

it’s not weird if u guys are in the same phase of life. people forget age ≠ life experience. you both have children and if tinder guy knows ur pregnant obviously he’s open to accepting that and seeing as he’s already a single father i really don’t think it’s overly weird 🤷‍♀️ obviously you’d have to go on a few dates and feel him out but i don’t think it’s that deep either tbh it’s not like ur saying ur gonna get married to him or something lol and i think it’s better than some random other teenager bc they *typically* aren’t parents and are just dtf a “milf” but this tinder guy probably isn’t looking for that seeing as he also has a child, u can both appreciate being parents and respect each others time etc.

UPDATE: i met him, it was great! got along so well and no awkward moments. Guess i’ve got a man to hide from my mum for a while!
