Shall I give this younger guy a chance even though he doesn't have a job right now? It doesn't bother me..?

I am 35, and have no end of disater in my love life. A divorce due to abuse, another ex leaving me for the neighbour, another ex going back to his ex wife - you name it.

I'm now 35 and single. I've spent a lot of time alone, and touch wood, have a good job, and am really happy. I spend a lot of time at the gym too, and like to look after myself.

Lately, it seems the only guys I attract are younger guys. They don't know my age at first, as when they talk to me, they have no way of knowing, and always think I'm in my mid-20s. This has happened with the last two guys to approach me. The first guy to talk to me this year was 21, and the second 24.

The first guy (21) seemed SO decent, and said he had had to grow up very quickly - he gives his parents a lot of money, and so still lives at home as he can't afford to move out. However he was soon asking ME for money! First he needed money for his holiday, ("I'm only going to look after my elderly grandparents") - then for his dad to fix his car, then to pay off the national army in his parents home country where he is going on holiday (as he's eligible for national service out there).

Needless to say, we no longer talk as I called him out on it, and he reacted furiously. No contact now.

The second guy who I met a few weeks ago (24) doesn't have a job at the moment - HOWEVER, he seems decent, and when I told him about the first guy asking for money, he was really speechless. He may not have a job yet but he has principles.

My friends tell me to "only go for a suited and booted guy who can wine and dine you" - this is my idea of hell. I'm no gold digger, unlike my friends.

I want to give this new guy a chance - would I be right to? BTW he has a child from a previous relationship but this doesn't bother me - it just shows him as actually being responsible. (He has him overnights and pays maintenance)

I will be honest, the lack of job does bother me a little (he couldn't afford to come and see me this weekend, and I am NOT about to start lending money -- nor did he ask me) but if it's only a temporary thing, it's fine - he only lost his job last week due to mass redundancies where he worked.
