I was in relationship with a guy who was much older than me - either he was past his prime and I was coming into mine. There was nothing I could do to keep his attention.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had never been attracted to younger guys. I had, from my late teens, always liked men who were older than me.
I don't want to come off like the jealous brother who wasn't getting the attention, but it was like no one was really into me anyway. I wasn't really a priority.
Dating and getting attention from boys was something that came later to me.
I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl.
I was 23, and he was 86. I saw a very sick man. I just wanted to just talk with him. There was no physical attraction at all. He was very much attracted to me.
I've never gone out with a guy who is older than me by more than a couple years. Usually it's my age, a little bit older, or even a little bit younger. But not a 15- or 20-year difference.
But I've always attracted attention, it's true, ever since I was very young.
I always date younger men. For some reason that's just the way it's gone, because younger guys have always asked me out and I accept.
I don't mind dating younger men now.
I was always really shy so I'd never try to get a guy's attention.
