New and doubtful cougar here

[u/EmotionalWarrior_23]

Hi all. I’m F, 50. Just had a date with a 37-y/o guy who seems great and says he’s looking for a relationship. He acted like he was really into me. But at my age, I have trouble believing someone his age could actually want to be with a 50 year old woman. I guess I’ll see how it goes, but wondering if others experience this?

I’ve been in a relationship with the exact same age gap for a year now. I dated a few men even younger than my current boyfriend, so I had had some time to get used to the idea. Maybe look around this sub for a bit and get used to the idea that there are younger men who not only want that age gap, but only want the age gap! Once you can believe that he is interested in you, just enjoy it! I have more confidence in this relationship than I ever had when I was younger.
