I'm 20, she's 39. We met out of the blue on a street while she was asking me for directions. We hit it off, and went for a date on the saturday night. The connection was there, we spoke for hours and really got abosrbed in each other. When I brought her back to her appartment, she invited me back up, and after some more talk, we kissed and one thing led to another....
I feel some kind of connection, and I know she does too. But I just find the 19 year old age difference a little spooky. Is it safe for me to date someone that much older than I am? I'm not looking for love, but I am looking for respect.
Crazy question you have... you already know the answer. You are going to go for this no matter what anyone says.
Chances are this is not a long term relationship (in a romantic sense) but it will probably be intense and physical. Cool things, these lessons in life. You are about to experience a big lesson and I don't think you planned it that way. You are going to hear things, see things and feel things from a generation not your own. Most of it will "click" later, so don't act like all the puzzle pieces have to fit right now.
The bigger "age difference" is when you are 40 and she is 59.... that causes more problems than where you are today.
