Re: "Older woman" anxieties

(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Coming off from an "older woman" herself who has a 3 year age gap with my boyfriend, you need to relax. Three years is not that big of a deal, ESPECIALLY in the long run if you're thinking of having a long term relationship with this guy.

Look at the facts first. He's been openly showing his interest for you for about half a year and might have been interested even longer but had to pluck up the courage to flirt with you. It means he's really into you. No person would spend that much time and effort flirting with only one person unless they really wanted a serious relationship. Not only that you've been bonding with this guy for quite a while.

You are 25. You are considered a kid to some members in fandom at that age. Also, some women who are past their 50s are still considered incredibly attractive. And even though there's still a common mindset about how women who are older and lose their looks aren't as appealing to date, there's been a backlash to this recently. With movies coming out focused on dating and romance with older couples.

Concerning the internet blogs of guys ranting about how ~old~ women who are 28 look? This is the internet, and you're going to run across delusional douchebags who think they're Brad Pitt even when they look like Golem. These are the same people who populate forms and call women like Hilary Swank a butterface and live up to the "Would Not Bang" meme. Try to ignore them, since most of them have more issues than Time Magazine.

Chill out, OP. The only way you'll lose this guy is by worrying so much that your worries and anxieties start stressing out the relationship.
