Slept with a 23 year old

[despacito]

I'm 32. Is that bad? He's a student, met in a pub. I've been separated for a year, he's the first one after.
He makes me happy though we've only seen eachother on five occasions and had sex for the first time a few days ago.
I can't stop thinking about him. But I'm telling myself what could a 23 year old possibly do for me at this point in my life

Hell no. I'm 47 and I've been in a relationship with a now 25 year old, for 2.5 years or so. We've been living together for over a year.

Just enjoy yourself, and stay safe.

Fun? Companionship? Affection?

Don't get ahead of yourself. You're dating. You're allowed to! Don't overthink it and just enjoy spending time with someone you like for now.

He could make you happy for a while and you could both have some fun. Nothing wrong with that at all and much less stressful than trying to find the perfect mate immediately.

You said it yourself, he makes you happy, so go for it and sod what anybody else has to say!

I met my OH when he was 19 and I'd just turned 30. Was meant to be a fling but over10 years and one DD later here we are. Enjoy!

Enjoy it

He's 23 so an adult. If you can't stop thinking about him maybe it's time to give him a chance, maybe try to arrange some more dates?
I
have two relatives who have been married for 50 years, this year, they have an 11 year age gap. Age is just a number!

Can't see a problem myself. Dh was 25 when we met, I was 36, so exactly the same age gap.
I too agonised over the pros and cons and looking back wish I bloody hadn't!!

What can a 23 year old do for you?

Do I have to draw a picture?

Good on you. Bloody enjoy it!

@DonkeySix

Ew, not for me thanks but if you enjoyed it, why not?! Just maybe have a conversation at some point and see if you both want the same out of this.

@MumBod I think I'll pass😂. The picture of his God like features is still on my mind 😉

I'd pass too given I have a 23 yr old DS.

If said DS were to be in a relationship with a much older woman I wouldn't like it ( not that He'd know, he's an adult etc) only because I think they'd be at two completely different stages of life and feel he'd be made old before his time IYKWIM.

I also have a DS who is now 21 who,at 18, had his first sexual experience with a 32 AND a 36 year old. Filthy bugger. Strangely When he told me I thought yuk yeh, being taught what's what by two experienced older women would be great for his future relationships.

If you are both ok with it I don't see an issue ( apart from his mother 😉).

He's fine as Mr Right now (rather than Mr Right). Don't overthink it and keep it light

But I'm telling myself what could a 23 year old possibly do for me at this point in my life hmm

Erm. Use your imagination! And probably 4 or 5 times a night!

23 is very much an adult!

If both parties enjoyed it, why the hell not?

15 years between me & dh, we met when I was 19 , we've been together 15 years

OK for right now but don't fall in love with him.

Yes, meeting his mother would be ICKY but I doubt he'd want that either!!!

I've dated someone 9 years my junior when he was 23 - he wanted to settle down and I didn't, so don't write off all young men as being at a different life stage

@MaidenMotherCrone I hope you aren't HIS mom

Just enjoy!!!

Enjoy it!

My husband is 9 years younger than me. We met when I was about your age. Now married for 19 years...

He'll be so happy.

Older woman know their own minds and are less like hard work.

Enjoy

Isn't the MN rule half your age + 7? so you've got it just right
