My relationship with a woman just ended several months ago. We had an 18 year difference. We were best friends for years until it became more.
In the beginning we both had an issue with the age. The only thing that got me past it was the fact that her heart was one I had never found before. It was hard enough finding someone my age with the same heart and now my best friend who just happened to be older was someone who I fell in love with.
It was only those close to us(church family etc.) that gave us the most grief. Strangers in restaurants and other places didn't. Most thought we were married. We were serious for many years. Through circumstances we ended up as simply best friends and we are still close.
She is still an important part of my life and there is still a part of me that wishes there would be more but she feels the age is an issue and that the love is no longer there.
The truth is that when all is said and done. It is the heart that you fall in love with and looks will change in time but the heart should not. If this woman has a beautiful heart and love shines through no matter what anyone else says, then you have found the one that no one can compare to and that is hard and rare.
A relationship is not bound by age, color, social status or money. It is kept together through love. Not the feeling of love which goes away in time but a knowing of love. This takes time. Give it a chance. Do not miss the chance that the love for you is in front of you. Time will tell.
If it is looks that determine love then when we all grow old we are in trouble. In time the looks go and then who you married is in front of you, the heart. It is hard enough finding the real thing. If you find it, do not let it go.
I am an older woman being persued by a man 21 years younger than me...It worries me , but he is very persistant and quite convincing that this is ok...I am still not exactly sure of myself or of him. I just need some advice...please share.

Mon Chere. What is the worst that could happen? It doesnt work out? Go for it!
Dated one woman that much older than me. It was interesting and stimulating at first. But, we were not sexually compatable. She was passionate but conservative, where most woman my age have no problem being adventurist.
Been there & done it. It was great for two years but he being mid 20's is just not on the same page as me. This is when not looking 49 can be very deceiving. We're still very close & will always be friends but he doesn't have the life experiences that close gaps of age. I personally would be very happy with someone within 10 years younger. I can not imagine dating a 59 year old man who needs to be taken care of either as I don't have a nursing degree.
I think it's too much... How are you gonna feel 10 years from now? 20 years from now...? Would you want to take care of an old and possibly ill woman when you may be able to be with women this much younger than you?!
I was thinking the same thing...As unromantic as it may sound now, this really is something you should be thinking about, if you see this relationship going the distance.
I have wondered about some on here...having the time to post and post. Some seem rather picky, and frankly, if you can be THAT picky, you must be model material with money. In that case, you wouldn't be wasting your time on an online forum.

What does this have to do with the thread? Did you post on the wrong thread?
