Hi, I’m Brazilian, 22 years old. I have been going out with an 32 years old American. Although I was raised in Brazil, I have been here for over 7 years and I think I have done a great job adapting to the American culture consider I live in FL. I have had an American boyfriend before but he had a Latin background so it wasn’t such a culture shook. The new guy however is so different, he is form NY and very American lol. We conduct ourselves in very different ways. He never talks about me. He never asks me about my days and how things are going. I wonder if he thinks that because I’m still in colege and he is making 7 figures what I do is not relevant. However when we are in person he is super carrying and loving towards me. He makes me super confuse. I do feel like he likes me but just shows it in diferente ways. We live 50ish minutes from each other but he always pics me up, and takes me out. I get that he is busy with work and remodeling his new house but I wish he made me feel seen and cared for more often. I can see this relationship going places with some adjustments. I am also worried about what our families will say since we are in very different points of life. I have always know I wanted to be with someone a bit older since I have always been super mature and independent. It’s finally happening… I guess all I need to say is that as much as I want this I have to accept it I am a bit insecure about everything, and that’s ok. Im the end of the day I wonder if it’s a cultural difference, age gap, or a combination of both!
