I am in love with a woman who is 6 years older than me. I have known her for about a month and she is amazing. However, I don't know if my feelings are normal, and/or if they would be reciprocated. If any women read this, would you date a guy that was 6 years younger than you? And guys, what are your views?
Normal, but keep in mind that young men are socially underdeveloped compared to women their age. Add a six year age gap and you'll come across socially retarded.
That's quite a generalisation. Maybe that's true in general, I honestly don't know, but individuals are individuals. Some women never grow up and some men are very mature early on. Sure, if she's like 22 that might be a problem, but if they are older, who knows.
I've voted normal, although for all the information you've given us, you could be aged 10 and she's 16 - some context would be helpful. A six year age gap either way would make no difference to me.
Will your feelings be reciprocated? No-one on IIN will know the answer that and again obviously, it would depend on the individual woman and what she finds attractive: there are no rules about sexual attraction.
I have dated women older than me. The oldest woman I dated was 9 years older than me. It was great. No one can tell you whether it will work out. You will have to find out for yourself. So go ahead and try and if it doesn't work out, it's not the worlds end but if it does, it might be really wonderful. I say take your chances.
For grown adults 6 years is nothing, it's barely an age gap in my opinion.
I'm slightly more concerned that it's only been a month and you're throwing the word "love" around already. Not to shit on you or say by any means that it CAN'T work, but typically I'd strongly advise against people letting themselves get so attached so soon (from both experience and seeing others do the same).
I don't think 6 years is a big age difference, maybe it seems that way now, but in the long run it won't matter at all. There are plenty of relationships and marriages with a much bigger age gap. Women instinctively are attracted to men older than them, but if you come across as mature and responsible then there's no reason why any women wouldn't give you a chance.
Infatuations are normal, just don't get carried away with it by saying you're in love; you can't truly love someone you hardly know. You simply just have an intense crush.
As for the question... nah. I'm 25, so he'll be 19 and immature. In my opinion, finding a mature, level headed guy in his late teens and early 20s is rare. They're out there, and you might be one of them, but it's not something I'm willing to be bothered with if I were single.
You have a crush not love.
And no I personally would not consider dating someone that much younger than me unless I was aLOT older like maybe 50.
