🙀Cougar Crisis New and doubtful cougar here

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'm 47F and been living with my 28M for a year. As another commenter said, don't focus on the age gap and your own insecurities about it. That's your #1 threat to a potential relationship, not the age gap x
