Search Results: would you date someone younger

I will try to keep this brief:
If you wish to skip over the history leading up to my conclusion go to the end.

I've been in a relationship for 7 months now (in my low 20's) and the love I use to know when I was younger (before this relationship) seems unreachable to me now.
My previous girlfriend lasted over a year long, and ended 2 years ago. The time between then and my current relationship starting, I had one time dates (tinder) that never lead to anything at all.
And I had also gotten into the hook-up culture, which never appealed to me as a nice thing, just a means to an end.
When I met my current girlfriend (via tinder) I was happy that I was talking/texting someone that actually seemed interested in me.
When I finally met with her after talking for nearly a month, I was nervous, but tried to play it cool, and we just talked to each other for a few hours.
We decided that we liked each other enough to go for a second date (which was the day that we became a couple).
From that 2nd date I had a feeling that this was going to last. But as time went on (a couple months) I stopped feeling excited to see her to just happy. I never felt the love I had when I was younger with her in the first place, but I saw potential in the relationship. As time went on we became more intimate, i. e; kissing, groping, cuddling, and eventually sex. But every time I go to see her I only feel happy, and nothing like what I knew in the past. Like there is something missing..

Long story short:
I feel like an end in my current relationship won't hurt too bad, because I know that I could come to love other people BUT I also feel like I love my girlfriend HOWEVER I don't feel the love I had when I was younger (which is when I came to define the feeling of love).

And I was wondering if anyone has felt anything like this. I appreciate any and all commented opinions/stories/explanations.

Here I'm talking of physical appearance. Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, most people; especially in the same culture with the same beauty standards often have the same idea on what's beautiful. An age gap can also be considered out of the league although they're in theory equal beautiful when they were young, because young people tends to look better than old people. So an old and a young person dating may be considered out of the league. #League #DatingLeauge #Dating

My Opinion:
I'm 6/10 and I prefer dating people above my league in terms of looks because I'm a very visual person. They should be at least 7/10, but I prefer above 8/10.

My friend's straight friend who mostly are into men prefer also dating someone above her league. Same as me; 7/10+. It's because of she has very high standards in men and she doesn't find many men handsome enough. She said if she ever dated a girl, she could date someone within her own league (6/10) and slightly below (5,6/10). She thinks women; even the average ones tends to be more physical attractive and beautiful than men in general speaking. A 5,6/10 woman scores higher than a 5,6/10 man.
