Dating someone Online and Older than you?

[Trinity_Zane]

So pretty much self explanatory. I started dating a girl last month (who lives 670 miles away) despite my being apprehensive about online dating. I've never been this attached to someone and now I'm worried. If you've been in an online relationship what we're it's challenges and how did you get through them?

Well if you like the girl (and vice versa) and you have >18 years old then someday you can visit her don't worry about that  .

Well the funny thing is she's 7 years older than me lol and along distance relationship seems hard to keep up. We do FaceTime almost twice a day. Is that strange that she's that much older than I am?

Hold it! Did you say she's seven years older? I really would not suggest it. The age gap seems so large.

I mean: you decide what you want to do with it.
If she is truly your love then yes: go for it

You can try, but from what I've seen and experienced, long-distance relationships rarely work out.


But, of course, I don't know all of the details of your relationship, so it could work out. You said you were both over 18, so you could meet up and live closer to each other, assuming one of you has a way to travel to the other. Just make sure to plan everything out if you decide to live together. Best of luck to you both.

Sorry for the delay but in my opinion forget because dude 7 years is too much unless you like her so much and you want to meet her irl, is your choice btw.

I think it's completely fine. My mom and dad have a large age gap too. My dad being younger, and my mom being older.

However online/ long distance relationship (From experience) are terrible. However being older you two might be able to handle it, but I recommend meeting each other.

7 years is hardly an age gap to worry about. Honestly, the older ladies are at the point where they know what they want, and they are generally more stable-minded.

Well love is love

7 years seems like a big age gap for people our age or younger but when you get older 7 years is nothing. There are some people I went to college with who are now dating people with a 20+ age difference. Whatever floats their boat ain't no business of mine.

I'm 23 but the biggest age gap I prefer is no more than 5 years older than myself, maybe 6 if they're REALLY cool and there's good chemistry.

Well I am 16 so I limit mine up till 18. But if I was older I would limit it to atleast 10.

Do whatever you feel you're comfortable with. If you like her you like her if you don't you don't. Love shouldn't be limited by what others think.
