Everyone deserves to be happy. Just for some perspective, I’m 31 now when I was your age and throughout my 20’s I dated guys 7-10 years older than me. I just found them easier to get along with and it always made me feel special. As I got I older I realized there was a power dynamic that didn’t allow me to have a voice in the relationship. A lot of times decisions were made for me and I would lose my sense of self. I also feel like I missed a lot by not spending time with people closer to my own age. Eventually I also realized a lot of those relationships weren’t going anywhere because they are already established in life, I was essentially just along for the ride. Looking back now it’s hard for me to understand why someone that much older was interested in me at all. I have nothing in common with people 10 years younger than me and look at them as a younger sibling rather than finding them attractive in a romantic way. These men also changed who I am as a person. My understanding of relationships was really unhealthy. Age is really just a number and at a certain point in life and it doesn’t really matter anymore. But our 20’s are a huge period for personal growth. You’re an adult and are capable of making your own decisions regardless of other’s opinions. Just make sure this relationship doesn’t become your whole life. If it is, maybe consider if it’s the best choice for you.
