At 40, he should be settled (I have heard that he's never married). But then again, I'm not his mom, so I shouldn't be complaining!

Just out of curiousity, how old are you?
And why would his mom even complain? I have to agree w/ valkyrie, why do you care...if the girl doesn't look uncomfortable or like she's fighting him off, you really need to mind your own business.
I have many many male friends that are 40 and not married. That doesn't mean they're abnormal, or dirty old men, or irresponsible. They just have more brains than to listen to close minded people who say "by this age you should do this...by this age you should do that." There are a lot of people who got married and had kids because they were told they "should" and the children suffered.
Now if you're talking about any sort of unwanted attention, that's creepy, whether the age difference is 2 years or 20 years. That's what smiley21 was talking about. That story would be just as creepy if both participants were the same age.
When I was 22 I dated my 35 year old boss (yeah, yeah, I know). However, to look at him and the way he acted, you would have NEVER guessed he was past 25.
