I have been trying to keep my thoughts to myself for a very long time, and now it seems like everything I have bottled up so far within me is about to explode into flames. I don’t think i will be able to finish this topic today but then it would definitely be a big burden on me if i don’t let some of it out right now. I owe this outburst to someone special, if not for the conversation we had, I don’t think I would be eager to talk about it, but then it has happened and i am here now…
I have been a very big fan of romance and love for as long as I can remember, I don’t think I have ever watched any movie that doesn’t have romance or love in it, this is to tell you how much i love and respect love. I have studied romance, love and relationships for as long as i can remember, i don’t just watch movies for the fun of it, i watch it because there’s always one or two things to learn from it, which might be useful in my love life and might also serve as a building block in my relationship…
I have had the opportunity to engage with different love nerds, i have been in different relationship groups on facebook in the past, i have witnessed not so many sweet and loving relationships, the fact is that i have always learnt one or two things from all these past encounters, and thanks to the knowledge and experience I’ve gotten from these people in past, I think i know how to perfectly handle my relationship without making it fail…
I think all the love and romance filled movies I’ve seen in the past have strongly influenced my reality, some of them positively and the others negatively. I have learnt to become classes when it comes to love, which means age is not really a major barrier for me when it comes to relationships and love, as long as i’m in love with someone, the age of that person doesn’t matter, you being older first change a thing provided the feeling is mutual, it won’t change how i feel about that person…
Over the years I have witnessed and heard lots of people saying different things about not being able to date someone older or younger than them, i have heard some guys say they going out with ladies older than them, i have heard some guys say they don’t like seeing older ladies and prefers ladies few years younger than them or probably their age mate, this doesn’t only apply to men, it also applies to the opposite gender too (vice varsa)…
The question is where do i fall in these categories of men, the truth is I don’t fall in any of these categories, i have special interests. As a lover and respecter of love, anywhere i find love is where my heart lies, i am not picky when it comes to the kind of woman i like, but then i have tastes, my taste comprises of all the qualities i want in my partner…
I have said it above that age is not really a major barrier for me when it comes to my relationship, especially when the feelings and love is mutual and not one sided…
I am okay with any complexion, she must be brilliant to an extent, feisty, outspoken and beautiful, these are the physical attributes i look out for, but age wise, i am okay with dating ladies 3-5 years older than me. Yes, they are older than me, but then the heart want what it wants, I am okay with an age difference of 3-5 years, me being 25 and she being 28 or 30 is okay, provided there’s is mutual respect and love in that relationship, I have no issue with it…
I can’t be involved in anything above 5 years age gap. I can also date someone younger than me or someone who is of the same age as me…
I don’t think dating someone older than you is a crime, if the love and affection are genuine and mutual, then what’s stopping you from taking a step forward, the heart want what it wants, the heart isn’t a respecter of age and class…
In conclusion, the question i will be throwing out to the general audience is this;
Should age difference be a barrier in love???…
THANKS FOR READING…
I too don't believe that age-gao should be a barrier to love. If the two people involved, are okay with it and love each other irrespective of age difference, it's a good thing. Like you said, the heart isn't a respecter of age and class. Everyone should follow their hearts

The age gap has never been a barrier for me. If anything, I respect it. I have dated someone younger than I am, and it was eye opening. I have dated someone way older, and I have learned a lot. So it’s never about age but mutual respect as you have said.
I'm a big supporter of this. Everytime I bring a topic on this people around me are always against the older lady, younger guy relationships.
I recently had an argument with someone about this
And he was against the idea on marrying someone older than him
His point was not so convincing ( he emphasize on the disrespect more from older ladies looking down their younger guy when an issue came up )
Well since I'm not experienced I could only say things on my view
And which was agreeing to an older younger relationship ( older lady / younger guy)
Honestly I've being into older ladies as long as I can remember
Hopefully looking for how my relationship life turns out to be .
Thanks for sharing your view 🖤
It was a good read for sure .
