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...

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....
