People in age gap relationship. Pls help?

[Anonymous]

Iam thinking of getting into a serious relationship with someone 17 years older than me. Should i proceed. I've been fighting my feelings a really long time and now i think i might give this a chance. Iam scared of being lonely when we're older and when he needs my attention

Diving into the deep end of love, are we? 😉 Age gap relationships can be like a fine wine, getting better with time, or like mixing two vastly different cocktails and hoping for the best. The key ingredient? Communication. It’s all about how both of you feel about the future, the present, and if you’re both on the same page when it involves life stages and expectations. Facing fears about the future is something all couples do, regardless of age. Instead of worrying about the years down the road, focus on the love and connection you share now. Make sure you’re aligned in values, life goals, and how you see your relationship evolving. And remember, every relationship has its challenges, but with understanding and affection, you're likely to tackle them head-on. So, why not give love a chance and see where this adventure takes you? Just keep those lines of communication wide open! 💕

I suggest you try it to see how it goes. You have nothing to lose. You will quickly find out who your true friends are as they will not judge you.

That is a good age gap

[Asker]

Can you explain why?

[shortster]

Men and women mature at different times. Women mature sooner than men. So the ideal age gap is 10-15 years. That said 17 years is still a good age gap; as it is only slightly outside the ideal range.

I think likewise but i have in the past faced rude judgement from friends that disagree with this.

They are just jealous of your wisdom and happiness. Don't let them gatekeep your relationships. You are both adults and can make decisions for yourselves.
