“The Way You Look Tonight” is popular, romantic songwriting at its very best. 1982 was a year of blockbuster movie songs and “Up Where We Belong” pipped “Eye of the Tiger” to Oscars glory. Buffy Sainte-Marie, Will Jennings and Jack Nitzsche wrote it for the Richard Gere movie An Officer and A Gentleman.
Here are eight important questions to ask yourself about your own attitude towards men and relationships:
All activities that fall under the banner of ‘commitment’ will probably flip him out. When I say “understand this “I mean “understand this.” Just cast your mind back to when you were that age and ask yourself how you would react to the situation. About his need to sleep for twelve hours a day, his ability to survive on nothing but toast and the desire to spend $500 on an X-box despite the fact that he has only one functioning coffee cup in the whole house. It is fabulous being the arm candy of a younger man. It’s sexy, it’s taboo and elevates both parties to legend status.
We talk about it then both cling to each other for dear life.. If you’re dating a girl 10, 15 or 20+ years younger than you, then it’s often natural to feel that this is too good to be true and the relationship won’t last. But the truth is, the only reason relationships with an age difference don’t work out is because one of the partners in the relationship becomes obsessed about age and can’t get over it.
I have no idea why he is so hung up on me but I have decided to just enjoy it while it lasts. The sex is fantastic, he has carried me to bed many times and with my heart racing, he has made me feel like a woman again !! I have been a widow for 8 years and thought my sexual years were over but this man has given me new life.
I’m dating someone 8 years older than me now and he’s the most immature guy I’ve ever dated (but it’s charming). It was one of the most delusional things I’ve ever attempted. Mostly torturous, but I think that had more to do with his personality than his age. 32 year old woman, cutest 20 year old guy is hitting on me non stop, telling me he wants to be with me..I stopped it before it even begun and I feel so bad..cause I really like him.. Like honestly if you are happy why should it matter to anyone else. If a 30 year old man dated a 22 year old, no one bats an eye.
From that moment on, we started spending a lot of time together. He is an earnest person, very committed to the relationship, and he more than adores me. The only problem though is that despite the fact that things are going extremely well between us, I have the deep conviction that it is bound to end.
So I believe that is Gods doing for putting this Person on my road.. We are talking about getting engage by the end of this year. Don’t think that age should be a obstetrical in this lifetime.. We only have one life so make the best of what is given. I am now 48 and in a loving exclusive relationship with a 23yo. For those who would call me a cougar, I remind them that that denotes a predatory instinct, which couldn’t be further from my personality.
Your 20-something boyfriend doesn’t know what a budget is; your 30-something boyfriend knows how to balance a checkbook.
Many of the men you look to date are more serious about finding love, making a lasting connection, and believe it or not—looking for marriage. The single men and the single women you meet may have baggage. You’ve already lived over a decade of your life as an adult. You’ve made decisions, mistakes, and things you’d never change for anything in the world.
There’s just no way of knowing so there’s no need to dwell on it too much. Give it the proper attention as needed and then get on with your lives. You never know what is going to happen in life and you could end up perfectly happy forty years from now, or you could break up tomorrow.

The negative societal response to age gap relationships may reflect people’s objections to unfair, inequitable relationships. Evidence suggests that prejudice tied to age-gap relationships is accounted for by the belief that one person is reaping more rewards from the relationship than the other person (Collisson & De Leon, 2018). Perhaps observers respond negatively to May-December relationships because they feel as though the older person is taking advantage of the younger person. The Guy Who Has Just Fully Quit At This Point never tried that hard in the first place, but at least there used to be a semblance of effort. A range of generation gap-related issues can be easier to bridge when you’re over 40 as well. “The older you get, the less of a challenge it’s likely to pose,” Lester continues.
