age gap & Affection

lynsalot

Hey guys,

I got separated a few months ago as the relationship was dead in the ground basically. I think i'd gone through the motions for the last year and while it was upsetting its more uplifting to have gotten out of it rather than upsetting. Anyway thats not really why i'm posting.

I've met another guy - thing is i'm almost 27 and he's only 22. Now age gaps wouldn't bother me unless they were apparent and i'm wondering if i'm blaming his age for somethings and making a big deal out of them.

We've been dating for a while and recently only, kinda put a label on it. he's out of a long term relationship (Which started in his teens) about a year now so he understands my situation (not wanting to jump into something etc etc)

the thing is he's VERY affectionate and i'm not a touchy feely person. He wants to hold my hand in the street ALL the time. Asks for hugs a lot (Which is a bit alien to me) he treats me very well and I've had a great time with him on dates and chilling at home and stuff...

I want to just see how it pans out but i'm wondering if the affection thing is because of his age (He is constantly looking for kisses and cuddles and had a higher sex drive than me) For example last weekend we went for a meal, had a lovely time together, had a few drinks in a pub after, got kissing. Came back to mine and it was all very romantic and nice. The sunday was lovely too. I felt all smitten and he didn't leave til sunday night and i was all loved up.

Met him yesterday after work to go to cinema and it just felt a bit awkward. I felt a bit awkward. A bit pressured into acting coupley.... does this make sense? Is it his age or is he just more touchy feely than i am...

If you are his first older woman then I guess its normal for I bet its going to warn out in couple of weeks. Have you tried talking to him? He just wants to show the world how lucky he is I know I was like that anyways :P
