Dating a Guy who is 12 years older. Thoughts?

It depends on whether you want the same things out of the relationship. Is he divorced and had his family so doesnt want more kids or is he happily single and a committed bachelor ? Stuff like this can become conflicting going forward so you need to find out if his long term goals are compatible with yours before you get too invested I guess x

If this is the same Kelly, idk if you want the advice of someone who is now 51 but here goes: I say it doesn’t matter that he is older. Most women are attracted to guys who are older than we are anyways. Twelve years is not a huge difference. My sister is married to a wonderful man who is 18 years older than she is. He has always treated her like a queen and is the best husband to her. They have been married longer than I have even. If you are attracted to him and he treats you well then I say go for it, but that is from someone who is from the free-love era.

My boyfriend is 12years older than me, he’s never been married. He has never said “he loves me”. I get really confused because I don’t know what he wants, when I try to talk about us he always reassures me about his feelings. Does he have issues with his emotions?

Totally depends. I dated a 32 year old when I was 22 and there was a lot of manipulation on his part. I never felt equal. I’m 24 dating a 30 year old now, so there is still an age gap but the difference between the two relationships is night and day.
