I’ve recently found myself more interested in older men, but I’m honestly unsure how to navigate the age gap mentally and socially. I’m in my mid-20s, and while I like the maturity/stability aspect, I wonder how people handle dynamics where his kids are close to your age or how others perceive the relationship. For people who’ve dated significantly older… what was the reality of it vs the fantasy? What worked, what felt weird, and what should someone actually think about before getting into it?
