new yw/om relationship questions

hello,

I am just beginning to see one of my best friends who is 15 years my senior (I'm 25 he's 40) and the only problems that I have is fear of intimacy/commitment - which are things that I'm slowly working out. The age gap is not really something that bothers me to the point where it's practically a non-issue. Although if things progress to a long term relationship, is there anything that I should take into consideration regarding our ages? I realize that this is quite subjective, but I just want to make sure that things go right, I guess..

thanks

Welcome :)

Well, each relationship has it's own 'personality', so it's hard to pin point things and generalize, maybe you could expand a little more on your question. Are you asking that if this becomes a long term commitment with there be intimacy issues? Or am I reading wrong.

I agree with Em....

I am reading this as you have intimacy issues but you said you have no issue at all with the age and I am assuming he doesn't either.... so what is the problem the intimacy or the age? forget about the age.. I have a 17 year age difference... no biggie... I 'm married and just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy almost 4 weeks ago..... enjoy your relationship and focus on you both not the irrelavent things

Well honey regardless the age-difference it matters that yall two care 4 one another. as the intimacy issues, Pray to the Lord about it. And he'll give you a good response I hope this helps.;)
