Sasa Mary, Cecilia from Rongai here. I had become very cautious about anyone promising support, so meeting John from Lavington started with a lot of questions from me.
The main reason I had been cautious was that I had previously been disappointed by people making financial promises they could not keep. I did not want to make a decision because of a polished profile or a big promise. I wanted to see whether the conversation felt normal and whether the person respected what I had said I was looking for.
John was direct about what he wanted and allowed me to be equally clear about my expectations when we met. We spoke about expectations, personal boundaries and what would make the connection comfortable for both of us. That mattered more to me than trying to impress each other on the first day.
It has now been almost two months. Almost two months later, I feel more settled because the relationship started with a proper conversation rather than pressure. For anyone looking for an older partner, do not rely on promises alone. Talk about expectations, meet safely, and make sure you are comfortable with the arrangement.
