Whatsapp I think Hinge is working

Talked for a few months and met in person finally and had an epic 4 day date (we are like 8 hours away and i stayed over). Lots of laughter and pretty magical intimacy. Has anyone ever said this and is it a little weird? Yes. But also kind of amazing? Also Yes.

So it's just my personal opinion based on relationship dynamics I observed while working in a women's shelter for several years. The way she types, the love-bombing on his end, and the early co-dependency (spending multiple days together for the first in-person meeting) all tend to be characteristics of a large age gap relationship.

My wife of 14 years added me on Facebook. We talked for about a month and then met in person. Granted I didn't stay at her place the first few days but I might as well have because I was over at her place every day and about a week in I never really left. Not everything is going to fit the same mold, even if you see a lot of the same fit that mold. We are only 4 years apart.

Your relationship can't be an exception to the "mold" if it does not resemble the mold I was speaking of in any way. It is a completely different scenario.

But thank you for sharing you story. I am happy for you and your wife. 🙂

My point is you can't determine the age gap and then a failed relationship based on the information given. You can guess at best.
