Im 32 and fall for a boy, 24 !!!

Long time I've thought about falling in love with a man who is about 5 year older than me. Why? People always say old man and young lady, right match! But I needed not too old Since I broke up with my X b/f (6 years older than me), I turn to a man at my age. I thought we could discuss in the same view, right understanding as everything is more or less at our age, not too young and not too old. But at the end, it didn't work, not because of age, but purely on "attitude". Now, I think I love young boy at age of 24, how come? Never think/ plan about this feeling and possibility before. You know what I feel now is just "guilty"/ "not sure"/ "confused", "afriad". As I deeply think all the time that to some time/ and when he gets older, you would go for young girl. You know, time flies and people change... am I wrong?

14 years difference!!! eeak

Hey girl I know how youre feeling. I am 36, and my man is 22. Sounds ridiculous I know, especially when my ex was 12 years older. I met him, thought he was 28! Then decided of course I would never meet up with him again, too young, but here we are, a good while later. He has never once made me feel the age gap, he's mature (where I'm not!) and funny and I must point out, hes not some desperate silly boy, he's a model and has, annoyingly, plenty of female admirers his own age. He makes me feel amazing, every day. IN fact after being totally betrayed by my ex, he now, 2 years later has totally healed my heart. If it all fell apart tomorrow, I would never regret it, or even blink about the age gap, between him and me, we're just a couple who are sickeningly happy. Its just other peoples opinions, but look, my ex being older, he broke my heart, age means nothing , its just about your happiness girl so enjoy it. Life is to short , so live it now xx

Its not the age, its the person

Hi, I did smile when reading your worry.
a few years ago now I met a guy who was 27, I was then 35.
I ummed and ahhed for weeks over the age gap, he didnt see a problem, nor did my friends. We lasted for 12 years. 8 years together and 4 years marriage.
Unfortunately if I were to be honest, as we got older our interests changed, eg: music likes etc.... he never saw the problem with the age difference, I did, he chilled, I was still buzzing. I think it depends on the person. I am 48 now and with someone my own age, who still thinks hes 16. But although we have things in common, its harder work than the one who was younger. xxxxxxxxxgood luck, life is too short to worry about a wee age gap.

It's ok

I was 30 when I saw him. The most beautiful man I'd ever seen, really! He looked like 27 and I had began to flirt, successfully, when he said he was 21. Wow! Almost 10 years. He said his former girlfriend had also been thirty something. We began to meet and it was great, with the only backdraw that he didn't want to go to no public places where someone could know him, because he didn't want to be seen with an older woman. I didn't like that, of course. I look younger than my age, he looked older.
But, although it sounds a topic, he was not mature enough. He felt insecure and once got angry and didn't want to talk again. No way of making him be reasonable. Sad. I really had a crush.
Maybe, within 3 or 4 years I'll try again, jaja!

No not wrong

theres nothing wrong with a younger bf, just becarefull that its not a fling on his side. i agree its the attutde.my ex was 23, iam 37, we only split because of distance, i have been with my new bf over a year hes 34.its all down to how you feel as a person inside

Be happy

hi,
well i am in the opposite boat, where i have fallen for somebody older than me- and a little bit more than 8 years older.
all i can say that if you get everything that you want in a partner from him, then the age doesn't matter....at the end of the day, with out happiness, what is the point- if that is what he makes you then the rest is irrelative.

there is a lot more to relationships than what society says, and somethings in life are a little bit more than black and white, sometimes you have to step into the grey.

if it turns out that he isn't right for you; then you deal with the repercussions as best you can, learn and live on. but don't turn away from what you want in life because of other peoples perceptions.
be happy!
good luck.
