fabulous@feddit.uk 4 weeks agoI think that is where it feels iffy to me, personally. Also, like, since you are asking this, there is a feeling of there being a power imbalance from you already so I would avoid it.
Don’t go off what people say on here. Men on here are particularly weird and misogynistic - and I say this living somewhere where I frequently get catcalled within 30 secs of stepping through the door.
Oh man, up until this comment, I followed along the whole time like “nope, nothing weird here at all.” You’re both adults and get lonely or bored from time to time. Hang out and see if maybe each other’s company helps with that. Not creepy at all.
But the thought of your daughter hanging out with her friend and all of a sudden saying “hey, you know what? You should date my dad! I’ll set you guys up”
…it’s just wildly unexpected for some reason 😂
Like, I don’t care who my mom dates but I am NOT gonna try and hook her up with one of my friends

A rule of thumb for weirdness in age difference is age/2+7, leaving you at 51/2+7=32,5. So going by that, 30 is a bit on the young side, which is obvious also from the fact that you felt the need to create this thread.
If one person would be in a position to judge you for it (or rightfully feel weird about it) it's your daughter. It's safe to say she seems cool with it, so whatever.
