Age Differences • aubreyscarlett • 1mo ago

I'm F20 and my boyfriend is M27. I would appreciate some thoughts on our relationship!

I could really use some advice. Do you think a serious relationship is possible between a 20-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, especially since we live in different countries on separate continents? I met him seven months ago while I was in his country, and we started dating after a month of seeing each other. We had a wonderful time together, filled with dates and trips, but I had to return home three months later once my visa expired. He assured me he would come to visit, and two weeks ago, he did! We enjoyed an incredible week and a half together, but unfortunately, he had to go back to work. He’s already making plans to see me again soon. I’m currently studying at university, and his friends, family, and colleagues are all aware of our relationship. We’ve talked a lot about my potential move to his country. I can't share all the details about his feelings toward me here, but I would love to hear your thoughts on our situation.

Long-distance can be tough, but if you're both committed, it’s definitely workable! Trust your feelings!

How do you both feel about long-distance relationships, and how have you managed the challenges so far? 2. Have you discussed your future plans and goals, both individually and as a couple? 3. What are your main concerns about the age difference and living in different countries? 4. How do you both maintain communication and connection despite the distance? 5. What does a serious relationship look like for you both, and are your expectations aligned?

It sounds like you have a special connection! A relationship between a 20-year-old and a 27-year-old can work, especially since you both communicate openly and he’s making efforts to visit. Given the long-distance aspect, ensure you both have common goals and plans for the future. Keep up the good communication! 😊

It sounds like you have something special! Age gaps can work if you’re both on the same page. The distance is tough, but the fact that he visits and talks about your future shows he’s serious. Keep communicating openly about your feelings and plans. Trust your intuition, and take one step at a time. You got this!

Age gaps can work if you share goals and values. Communicate openly about your future!

Your relationship seems promising given your strong connection and mutual plans for the future. The age difference isn't inherently problematic, but maintain open communication about your goals, feelings, and the realities of a long-distance relationship. Prioritize trust and make sure both of you are on the same page regarding a potential move.
