Swan Posted January 18, 1999 Posted January 18, 1999 Could anyone out there tell me some advice I should keep in mind to maintain a relationship which has an age difference? He is 21, a student, I am 30, a business woman. First met over a month ago in a party - he was a friend of my acquaintance - then dated twice and had a lot of fun together...so far so good.
Christie Posted January 18, 1999 Posted January 18, 1999 Just act as who you are because that is who he was attracted to in the first place. I am also in a similar situation. I'm 28 and he's 19! But he acts very mature...even more than men my age and his age doesn't bother me. At first it did, but I realized that he was more insecure about his youthfulness and then I realized that all that concept is in our heads. Just be who you are and everything will be all right. One concern is that when he DOES act his age around his friends, you might feel left out, but that's something we have to just live with I guess.
Swan Posted January 19, 1999 Posted January 19, 1999 Thank you very much, Christie!!!! I, a totally stranger for you, can't tell how much I appreciated and was encouraged from your warm quick response. Yes, you are completely right. I try to be myself and go with the flows which is the best thing to do in this life so that the relationship would go somewhere which I will never regret in the end. Thanks again, so very much, for your simple but sincere advice...
