In the past, I have dated men that are close to my age (33).
I've started dating someone who is much older than me (67) and it is the most intimate relationship I've ever had. Everything is perfect when we're together and I love being in his arms when falling asleep. His maturity is so sexy to me.
While age isn't an issue to either one of us when we're together, it is something that I wrestle with when we're apart. There are ones I can breeze past like, "What will my friends/family think?" The deeper questions are what make me wonder if I am a fool for falling in love with this man. For instance, he will most likely die before I do - then what? Am I setting myself up for disappointment? I counter it with the fact that I love the time right now and we should enjoy that...but know that I should also consider the long term as well.
I guess I'm coming here for any perspectives people (older or younger!) can offer.
For those still interested in reading - On the flip side, my ex (37) keeps trying to get me back. I broke it off because, despite us loving every second of every day together (common interests, career goals, etc.), I wasn't sexually attracted to him in the way that I am older men. It seems foolish for me to date someone I'm not sexually attracted to, but it also feels like I'm throwing away an amazing relationship with someone that I could grow old with knowing we'd be there for each other for the long haul.
Thanks for any/all perspectives
