I'm a 37 y/o guy who is currently attracted to a 23 y/o woman. ?

We get along fine and there's a connection between us. We really like each other. The only thing is is the age gap. She's has no problem with it and I don't either, but as I'm the guy and "order", I can't help but wonder if it's right that I continue to pursue it? And I didn't actively seek out a woman in her early 20s to date, we just happened to meet and we just hit it off. Should I continue seeing her and not worry about what people think? Or should I just break it off with her for the sake of not being viewed as "creepy"? I really like her but I don't want to be viewed in a bad light either. Just need some advice. Thanks

That is a decision that is completely up to you two individually as well as together as a potential couple. Let her decide for herself what she wants. Maybe she’s had nothing but bad luck w younger men. That is also a decision you have to make as far as continuing to see one another. I don’t see anything wrong w it. If it makes you happy it makes you happy, the same goes for her. What matters most is her opinion as well as yours, not others. As a couple should you two decided to stay together then you make those decisions on how to respond to things such as people looking at you weird or commenting on the age gap. I’m sure most men don’t mind, I could care less. I think where you’d get most looks would be from women. I think you’re fine. Maybe just talk to her, express your concerns, she can probably help you cope w those thoughts more than I can.

We have spoke about it and she and said that she doesn't even and that feels right to her. And it feels right to me too. We both personally don't see an issue at all. I just have an issue because like I said, I'm the man and the older one and some would just assume I'm a "creep" for dating some one 14 years younger. I do look younger them my age so I have that going. But I just don't want people thinking bad about me when they find out how old we are. Or even thinking bsd about her though men get the worst of it a lot of the time.

Well none of that matters. It shouldn’t. Again if you two are happy that’s all that matters. She’s old enough to decide what she wants in her life. I’m sure you two will be fine. You’re overthinking it too much. My girl is 9 years older than me. I know not as much as 14 but I’ve never had an issue. Maybe because I’m a descent size dude so no o e gives u shit about it. You’re fine. Don’t live w regret bro.

[Falcon16]

That's true man. I've just think too much about it and it shouldn't matter at all. I'm really falling for her. I just wish society wouldn't judge like that. And 9 years isn't bad at all. If me and her were around 10 years a part I wouldn't even question it.

Just go for it man she’s into you, you’re into her. Fuck society. Society is so hypocritical these days. People want others to be accepted, to be treated w love yet they don’t want to accept others. Live your life. Cliche to say but tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Either one of us could be next. Take her in your arms and make her the happiest person on the face of this earth. Make her realize she didn’t make a mistake I picking you.

As long as you’re both OK with it it shouldn’t matter what other people think sit down and talk with her about it if you really care about her and love her you’ll have a talk with her
