Thank you for taking the time to read this. Over the last 5 years I have had the pleasure to date a few women from 22 - 38, some for over a year some shorter.

Unfortunately finding that relationship that clicks for both of us is not easy, and although the romance and intimacy has been amazing it is finding that combination of mental, physical, emotional, spiritual that has been elusive.

I am posting once again to see if there is a woman within an hour of my area who seriously wants a marriage with an older man and understands and accepts the challenges that will come with that, which are often discussed in the r/AgeGapRelationship sub.
