People assume young woman I am dating and falling for is my daughter
DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE developed feelings for someone but the only problem is I’m old enough to be her dad.
I’m 55 and have been dating a woman of 29.
We met online after she liked my profile.
I was flattered at first and didn’t think it would come to anything, but four months on we are inseparable.
Despite the age gap, we have so much in common.
I like fishing and she’s into camping, so we have been travelling a lot.

People often assume she’s my daughter, which makes me uncomfortable.
The other day her neighbour asked her, “Can your dad move his car?”
Will people think it is wrong? What if she wants children one day? Should I call it off?
DEIDRE SAYS: Find a moment to speak honestly to your partner because these are valid questions that only she can answer.
As long as you have the same life goals, you can be very happy together.
