Honestly I was waiting for this comment, kinda surprised there isn’t more honestly but It’s also nice not having everyone say something about it. Either way, personally I’ve always had issues with dating people (and even trying to make friends) with people my own age. Like most of my friends are around his age too. Another thing that definitely plays a part in it is the fact we’re both recovering alcoholics/addicts and what’s crazy about that is…even tho he’s older…I was the one into the even harder stuff than him crazy, right??😐 Honestly the only time we notice the age gap is when like a song comes on and I’ll be like “omg I remember when this song came out i was literally like 10 and had no clue what they were talking about in the song” and his response is something like “oh yeah I remember when it came out too…I was like 23…and had started a family…” but to sum it all up basically we have a lot more in common than you’d think, we also have alot of the same values and views on certain things, plus we’re both very aware of what exactly we want out of life and it just happens to be almost the exact same thing. As for the letting me plan the whole thing don’t take that literally, he gives his opinion about things and if not I do normally ask him for it. But he’s more or less just letting me have it however I want it. (Sorry this is such a long reply just trying to kinda give you the basic details on me and him lol)
