Girls I need your help!

Please can I have some advice!!!!

I’ve just had a very long and full on chat with The guy I’ve been seeing for almost a year. Were both adults but we have quite a big age gap (10 years) . He said to me today he doesn’t think he can get into a proper relationship with me any time soon due to not being able to get past the age and what ppl ( his family ) will think. I’m heartbroken, I’ve completely fallen with him. Is there anything I can say or do to try and help him see past this age gap! I’m in bits :( thanks in advance lovelies xx
