Now let us read another story; this time from a
young man’s perspective. Alex writes, “I seem to feel
an incredibly strong attraction to a woman who's 15 years older than I am. I am 18, and she's 33. When we firstly met in a restaurant we both thought about our significant age difference. I look and react rather mature; she looks so
young and beautiful. We like each other and connected easily. We spent a few
romantic
weeks over Christmas together as I showed her around my town which she was visiting as part of her research project. We acted more like
friends, well, we completely acted as friends. Several times she said that I must be crazy hanging out with her, because she’s much older. I think we are both very alike:
shy, soft-spoken, laid-back, and of course,
romantic. I am so happy to be with her. I’m totally sure she won’t take any step to turn the relationship into
something more than friendship; I suppose she doesn’t want to hurt me. How can I turn the relationship into a romantic relationship?”

In my opinion, age has only a small correlation with maturity and experience. Plus, two people with very different background, experiences, and ages can fall in love. What really matters is if there is strong mental bond. We see that the
man in this case perceive the relationship very differently than the women.
The woman is too obsessed with her being old, while the
man wants to look/feel/act older to
mask the fact that he is younger. But the two couples are strongly attracted to each other and feel a bond too.
