Will my family and friends accept my potential lesbian partner with whom I have an age difference of 31 years?

A female United States age 30-35, *fraid Of Her Age writes:

Ok first to start off, I am 22, a senior in college and I am single. I have been single for awhile but even when I was with other females they didn't spark any interest in me besides sex. Recently a friend of mine told me to make a profile on Plenty of Fish, maybe I'd find what I was looking for or at least other lesbian friends. So I joined, then I put up a post with the same profile info on Craigslist. Well some women got back to me, some had good conversation others didnt. Then I met her. A female who was basically everything I have been looking for but couldn't find. And before her I promised myself I would let myself recognize a good thing when I saw it. So we've been talking, a Lot. The only problem is, she's 53. I feel like I can get passed it, but I'm afraid my family and friends won't. We joke a lot about our 31 year age difference but it scares me to think that if I introduce them to her they won't accept her or us and I'm afraid of getting too close and falling too deep and then having this huge battle between me and the other people I care about. She asked if it bothered me I told her it didn't but I also said that I wanted to make sure it was right and that it was worth fighting for before I picked that battle with my family/friends. I just don't want her to feel like I'm embarrassed by her and I don't want everyone else to have an issue with it, what do I do?

I haven't met her yet, we are supposed to be meeting next week for lunch. I will put an update as I figure that out (the chemistry). Thank you

oldbag agony auntHi

Have you actually met in person yet because until you have got to know her, to see if there is in fact chemistry and even the possibility of a relationship, your jumping the gun.

However if your family and friends acceptance of her is important to you and you already feel it could be a problem it doesn't bode well.

Ask yourself if you will always let them have the final say,that you will always let them decide or influence your partner choices. Most families and friends will just want to see the person happy and loved.
