hi all,

i've posted some time ago asking how to know whether a guy likes you or not.

well, it turn out that my guy do like me and have confessed his feeling to me. i like him a lot too, that without seeing him one day can make me feel so hurt and miss him so much.

my problem now is...he's 7 years senior than me... i'm in my 20s, and he's in early 30s.
i am afraid that one day we will lose connection due to the age gap....or, shall i say, i am scared that he'll freak out because of my childishness (well, i'm still young and still have to 'energy' to enjoy young life, while he is a mature guy ready to settle down when he find his love of life)

he has been telling me that to him i am a mature young lady and that he has no issue for me to go out and enjoy my young life -- he assured of the freedom he will give me until i am ready to settle down...

despite all his assurance, i'm still lack of confidence to be the perfect girlfriend to him....i need to know, how do i be a mature and charming young lady so that i am able to capture his heart all the time while at the same time enjoying my young, 20s' life?

to me, age is not a problem, what is important is the 'feel' and connection between two persons but still, i need advice on how to move along with an older guy...

anyone has the experience of dating a guy at least 5 years older than her? guys, your opinions are welcomed too...

You should stop thinking the negative points. Think positive! I believe the both of you will have a long lasting relationship. Stop worrying.

Given the way you post, I think you're mature enough, and I do think he'll understand.

Do note this - if given a choice - a lot of guys will want a younger gf, even up to 10 years.

Do not worry about unnecessary thing, it's make your relationship shake. Just enjoy your relationship.

well, u dont have to worry about capturing his heart cuz uve already have that ticked on ur checklist. u just need to mantain his desire for u, and there's no one better to tell you how to do it than yourself. find out what is it about you that makes him go crazy over you. find out your strong points and utilise it to the maximum to enjoy ur life in confidence, he will automatically be attracted and drawn to ur very own world. find out your weaknesses and work on them.

and, most importantly, dont forget to constantly remind him of how much he means to you, and that you are madly in love with him.

that's about all the right things i know to say. all the best xD

Feel and connection is one thing that keeps the relationship alive, but understanding is one thing also. When it comes to experience and maturity level, i believe age does represents something but expectations are the one that differs. He might expect from you something and you too might expect from him something but what if there is collision of interest regarding experiences? Things like those could create arguments which in the end might cause disagreement and thus you and him might blame the age. If i'm you, to tolerate and even understand a person older than me especially nearly 10 years is even harder than you tolerating a person which his or her age is near to ours.

My point is our expectation is way different when it comes to age. Try solve that out then you may understand your personal issue that troubles you in your heart. Age doesn't matter but the expectation of the older ones that matter. Good luck....

(His Age / 2) + 7 = the minimum age he should be dating. xD

it's just a guideline though.

this topic is waking me up again! i am in the dilemma for these few days. I am in the early 30s and so surprise a 21 yr old gal is tellingme that she like to be my life partner.. i stop keeping in touch with gals after my 4 yrs of breaks and presently being a filial son looking after my only mother. I told her to go away cos she is young and there are plenty time more for her to learn, enjoy and grow up instead of attaching with someone old like me. She refuse and insisted that she will behave mature and sharing my burden in anyway - which i don't have 1 for her. i ask her many times why she choose me and she says she love to be a man that love his family like i do. But to me... i don't trust this cos to them... these are just words that playing in her mind just to convince me to accept her.

see... its easy to say .. age is not a matter at all but ... gals at the young age is eager and thirst for love and companion which they have yet to experience before since their childhood. I cant blame them much for that... but why an old man? i've seen alot of cases where young gal intend to fool around and some will leave their partner when they reach the age of 25 to 28 after realising something much more for them to learn and go thru than attaching to someone reaching a wheel chair or somewhere near to coffin. Be honest age does matter.... it is just that couple never sit and think what are the consequences being together... diff thoughts diff need and diff perspective.

think about it....

So what? My parents have a 7 year age gap and they getting along so well. It's not the age but the same wavelength, and goals and vision for the future.

I agree with the bold words.. but it apply to normal couple too.. some just think they r "click-able" then can get together...

As for ur case, a young gal can b as mature as a matured gal.. if u r doubt abt her mature-ness y not start as fren 1st n get to know her more.. maybe she is the one for u.. well, family background, environment, n problem she faced can make her more mature than her age.. give each other a chance..


As for TS, b more confident to urself n b urself.. he likes/love the one is ur current 1.. if u hv changed just bcoz of him then wat's the point he love u for? yes, u need to upgrade n improve urself but not changing urself... n i agree wif one of the post here.. find out wat make him love u the most n try to utility it to max.. eg ur smile, ur happy-go-lucky style, n etc.. we should love ourselves more so that other can love us more too.. wink.gif
