Age difference in dating

[taylor]

Being a friend to me is being able to communicate with them when they're potentially going down the wrong path and not biting your tongue to avoid confrontation. Whether they take your advice or not is ultimately up to them but you have to say your piece. I take the same approach with my family members. Otherwise to me your relationship is just surface and you are just acquaintances not friends. I got a plenty of acquaintances not a whole lot of friends.

A little more detail about my friend. He's a former IT guy that now owns a business. His business puts him in contact with a lot of females that he never would have met as an IT guy. I even told him you used to be an IT guy and now you're the T I T guy. He likes that nickname. Even when I try to make fun of him he takes it as a compliment. What a chump! Also he has a lot on his plate he has a mother to take care of and 2 kids who will be going to college in the next few years. Another thing to an outsider his business may look like it's doing well but he has 2 partners he has to split the profits with equally and a business loan on top of that. His acquaintances don't know this stuff but I do because I'm his friend .
