Does my boyfriend love me only for sex?

Connie asks, "My boyfriend is seven years younger then me. He's 18 and I am 24. Situation is I'm practically the only woman he's been sexually active with. And because of this sometimes I feel he only thinks he loves me because of his sexual needs. I spoke to him about it and he tells me he truly loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me but I feel he isn't experienced enough to make that decision. Then again I feel I'm being silly for feeling this way. What do you think?"

For men sex comes before love and for women love comes before sex

I think you pretty much answered your question. He is just 18 and lost his virginity to you. At this age (and for that matter at any age for a man) sex is a very powerful emotion and it can suppress all other emotions. Plus, he is still immature to appreciate deep, emotional love.

So if he is an otherwise nice man, just keep the relationship with him going and hopefully over time, he will mature like you. At that point, he will know for sure if you are the one.

I think it is a dilemma that all older women (who in my opinion are more mature than men at any age) face when they date younger men.
