So for the Fourth of July I went on holiday to FL with a few of my girlfriends. We stayed with a close friend of mine who owns a house with a pool on the beach. He also has other guest in the home who were a lot older than us. The guest who was older had invited his kids, his son (23) and daughter (22). One night we all stayed home and grilled and played the drums, harmonica, guitar and all that. We ended up eating shrooms and night swimming after. Well, while swimming and having a good time me and (23m) hit it off. We hung out everyday and every night the rest of the vacation. Now, I’m home in AL and he lives in FL but we FaceTime every night for hours. We text all through out the day. We literally laugh and just get each other. I don’t think I’ve liked someone so much ever.
Some back story on him is he was in the army for 4yrs and just got home. He has his own house and owns his own business. He still does missions for the army where he’ll leave a cpl of months at a time. He very mature and very attractive. (I feel weird saying that).
Orginally he told me he was 24 about to be 25 and that was rough but I could deal. Last night he told me he’s actually 23 about to be 24. He said it was an honest mistake and we had been drinking and taking shrooms when he told me so I believe him.
He’s planning on coming to visit me and a week. I really don’t want to stop talking to him but I’m afraid of what people will think of me.
My only draw back from him is his age. Idk, please help and please be super honest. I need advice

It’s not an honest mistake, he lied. But either way, long distance with that big of an age gap is a big no for me.
If it doesn’t work, given your age, you can always pursue 40 year old guys. They’ll see you as a catch but, may not want kids.
If the only drawback is age then go for it. My GF is 5 years older (29 and 34) and we let the age thing get to us as she is older than my sister (33) and I am younger than 3 of her siblings (32, 31 and 29). It became inevitable and we curse ourselves for wating so much time trying to find other people when it was an instant attraction for both of us but age was what made it weird for us. Im also more mature for my age and sounds like your guy is killing it and is mature. Why let age ruin something that could be really good for you. Would you rather date a 32 year old asshole or a 23 year old mature business owner who will treat you right. Maybe the age thing will be an issue at some point and you guys break up but why not give it a shot now rather than lter.
