I'm 40, she's just turned 18. We both love each other.
She's not here in US, but from my native country Philippines, so we just chat on internet. Ever since I migrated into US, I've not had any luck getting a girl. I dated 2x (1 American, 1 Asian) in 5 years but that's about it. In my vacation last year to Philippines, that's when I met her. She said she's in her 20s at the time and I said I'm close to 40. I tried to charm her. We continued communication while I'm back in US and she started to fall in love with me. Now we're both crazy with one another.
I'm concerned about how my colleagues at work will react if they learned my girlfriend is 18. My buddy at work is already teasing me as cradle snatcher. I have opened up this discussion to my GF so she knows what to expect but she is really being mature about it.
Any tips how to handle this situation? Any pitfalls? I've never had a GF 22 years younger than me and never dreamt someone will fall for me. I'm trying my darndest best to keep mum about it at work especially with the female colleagues as I'm afraid they will judge me negatively. I wish they knew I was just looking for a GF and not necessarily a teenager GF, and that I'm always sincere when I charm a girl.
I think you have to swallow it and take the punches (jabs). If you two are serious it will fade with time but no one is going let you get away without saying something. Just think its worth it have her on her arm and to hell with everyone else, even while they laugh at you. It's called thick skin. Good luck
Thanks for the concern. I myself need money I don't think this is the case at all for her. I think she's genuine else I won't fall in love with her. My expense so far for her ? Zero. She's not asked for gifts; all she asks for, as with all true genuine GFs, are my time, pictures and love.

Thanks. I really do get along with my colleagues at work but now I'm concerned. I occasionally get invited in their houses where everyone brings in their spouses or SO and now, I'm not sure if I go with her or just not go at all. I don't want to lie if they start asking me who's calling me on my phone or how old is my GF. I'm in unfamiliar territory. I'm also concerned that I may get outcasted at work and lead to my termination. I'm also concerned how will she get affected by this. I can play the thick skin part but not sure if she can handle it, even though so far she's mature about this thing.

She's legal so they can't do anything, and if they did fire you, you can probably sue the pants off of them. This is what you get dating some 22 years younger then you. Judgement, it's what people do instead of minding their own business.
