He's younger than me, now what?

If we could choose the people we fell in love with, would they always be perfect for us? and life would be very boring. The cool thing about love is that it makes no distinction of race, religion, geographical location, gender or even age to shoot its arrows.

Even so, it can sometimes be difficult to overcome prejudice and surrender to the love of a younger man. If you are experiencing this situation or know a friend who is, we interviewed an experienced reader to answer all your questions.

Tayara, 24, is scheduled to marry Jefferson, 22. The two of them have been together for two years and she told us a little bit about how to relate to a younger man.

When you started dating, were any of the families against age?

No, on the contrary. It was I who thought many times before embarking on the relationship out of sheer prejudice. As I've always heard that men mature later than women, were you afraid this would be a problem in the future? She says.

"I had a hard time accepting the age difference, but it was silly of me, since Jefferson never saw any problem with that."

Why did you decide to go ahead anyway?

ÜI realized he was different. Very playful, but also very responsible when needed. This conquered me and I saw that my reason made no sense, in his case ?, explains.

And when they decided to get married, did the age difference weigh in?

?Not. This is a factor that you take into account before, when thinking about dating. Then, as time goes by and people get to know each other, you can tell if age is a problem or not. For us, marriage was a consequence of the cool relationship we had from the beginning, so there was no reason to think about age again.

What would your advice be for women who are interested in men younger than them?

“I think the important thing, as in any other relationship, is to know the man in question very well. I had known my fiance before, because we were from the same class of friends, so I kind of knew what he was like every day. It's no use getting involved without knowing the guy, because the point is that he can be one of those men who mature later, really ?.

So you think it's worth investing in such a relationship?

It's worth it if the feelings are reciprocal. The couple must be in tune in that sense, because then everything else is just a consequence. Age and other differences do not matter when love is strong and safe?

With so much confidence from our reader in your relationship with a younger guy, what are you waiting for to put prejudice aside? Gone are the days when only women could or could only be encouraged to get involved with older partners. Today this is past and there is no reason to be prejudiced about the age of the partner.

Assess your personality and that of the cat as in any other relationship, regardless of age, and if you think it might work, dive right in. Younger or older: what matters is your love and relationship.
