Relationships!

You’ve got to use your marbles! These are your only real gadgets, all others are just illusions. 😉 Thank you for visiting our pages our dear friends from the US, Japan,Germany, Vietnam, Brazil, Malaysia, India, and Australia 😉

Are you juggling your schedule all the time? Are you prioritizing your commitments? If you did, feel good about it. There is nothing wrong with rescheduling, things happen all the time. Flexibility with your calendar is an advantage since urgent deadlines need to be attended to first.

“Time is going faster than before”, this is what Jason told me this morning. I said: “Yes, faster than ever, today is the 7th of November, and it was yesterday when I put a sign that said 87 days remaining in our year 2017. Today it has become only 54 remaining days. How this year is gonna end? What are we going to do next year? Is it only gonna be celebration without planning?”

Too many thoughts would come to your mind when you think of time and its stories. They are endless!

One of the stories I read today was about someone from Nebraska, who was sentenced up to 4 years in prison for sending strippers to his neighbor’s porch, to have their performance there. At first glance, I was in a hilarious laughing. What that man was thinking? OMG! My friend’s little girl asked me: “What happened, Sophie?” She’s only 8 yrs old, but I told her what I read. There is no harm in that. But I know that she didn’t quite understand what I meant. She asked me what a stripper was, and I also explained to her.

Then I made myself unavailable for any more questions because its details were not for an eight years old girl. And I stopped laughing. 🙄

Back to Jason and talking about time. Some people say that time is irrelevant to age, and that age is just a number. This is an optimistic view of seeing your age, but how about having a crush, and you can’t get over it?

Terry, a young girl, in her sixties or seventies, nobody knows, but she’s acting as if she was in her twenties. She likes men. She is open doesn’t hide it, but the problem, as she stated that she falls in love with people younger than herself.

A lot of people may say that age is a state of mind, that a person is only as old as s/he feels. My dad is one of these people. That is an upbeat and optimistic approach to aging; however, the question is if that applies when it comes to relationships.

It has quite often been acceptable for a male to be the older person in a relationship. Some issues can arise if the opposite happens; a younger man and an older woman. In addition, there can be some issues as well, if the male is many years older than the female. It is possible to have a secure and loving relationship in which there is an age difference, if both people involved understand certain issues that may arise and they can work together to resolve them.

Mostly it is not acceptable to have a man with an older woman, but if the maturity level is the same, it should be OK. The reason is very simple. Sometimes you find a man with a baby’s mind. He is not mature although he is over 40 yrs old, and the opposite is true too. A fifty yrs old female and a thirty yrs old male could be similar in their maturity level. It all depends.

One dynamic that can make or break a relationship is the common ground that you share with the other person. Most people will get along with someone who has similar interests and hobbies. A night owl versus a morning bird will certainly not be in sync with each other.

Nevertheless, it is not a common rule. You’ve seen many people who are attracted to their opposite habits persons. He is so funny and she is so serious. She is so modern and he is so classic. It happens!

Probably what you need to think about is the activities in common. For example, if you want your partner to share your hobbies such as walking, swimming, etc., would she be fit to do that? Would he be willing to hike with you? This is one aspect you need to consider when there is age difference.

Another factor is things such as having kids. If your partner is older than you, and she cannot have children at a certain age, you need to take your time, before making your commitment decision, unless you want to have a relationship just for fun, or for a short period of time and not for life commitment.

Most importantly, if you and your partner feel you are right for each other, age will not matter!

You will never regret it, if you found the sincere passion, and the true love of your life. Love always has its ways!
