20F — Interested in older men, but feeling nervous/guilty about it
Recently, I’ve realized that I’m attracted to older men. For a while, I felt really guilty about it because people around me made it seem wrong or weird, which honestly made me nervous to even try talking to older men in the first place.
I have tried starting conversations, but I’ve had experiences where I either get ignored or ghosted, which makes me overthink everything lol.
I wanted to ask women who have dated or are dating older men: how did you get over the fear or nervousness and just go for it?
And for men, what do you usually look for when considering dating someone younger? I know a relationship is still a relationship at the end of the day, but with an age gap, I assume there can be different mindsets, life stages, and expectations involved.
I’m probably overthinking this, but I’d really appreciate any advice or perspective.
