Since I was young, I was always attracted to older men. I felt that they were more experienced, responsible and more mature than their younger counterparts. Therefore, the few men I dated were always older than me... until now.

He was my friend and then it became much more than that. Truthfully, I sometimes forget that he’s 9 years younger than I am. He has the mind and responsibility of an older man in the body of a 24 yr old. Mind you that this is no fling for the both of us. As a matter of fact, we are already talking about a future together.

I gotta be honest though... I’m scared. This is all new to me. I heard people say that love knows no bounds including age, but any sensible person has to consider the challenges an age gap like ours can cause in a relationship. I keep struggling with questions like: “Is this really ok?, How will his family react?, What will mine say?, Will he one day get tired and decide he wants someone younger, etc., etc.” (I keep thinking of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore 😆)

I know this all may sound silly and many will say that if it’s true love it will endure everything but some wise words from women who’ve experienced something like this would really be helpful in giving me some piece of mind. Or even some advise would be nice.

Thank you beautiful ladies. 🙏🏼
