I was attracted to my boyfriend (who is quite a lot older than me) because he has a great sense of humour, is compassionate, has a level of maturity that I haven’t witnessed in guys my own age, is intelligent and has knowledge based on life experience which I can’t help but find incredibly sexy and he makes me feel very special. I also find him very, very attractive physically.
Some of the things I have listed here have nothing to do with age (you don’t have to be older to be compassionate, for example) but all of these things together are what make me attracted to him and some are affected by age (life experience).
I don’t care if other people think that my relationship is weird just because he happens to be a lot older than me. That’s their problem.
