She wants someone who can take on the mature role, because she isn't. That's also why she was worried whether he liked her - with an older guy it would be a more natural that they'd align like that. But if he's ok with those roles, they might work as a couple.

The stuff he’s been through will automatically make you mature as you experience. Her comment about his age is mystifying, how does him being a year younger make a difference?

It’s not that he was a year younger than her but that he was years younger than the men she has been dating. Her last boyfriend was 31. That makes him 8 years younger than she’s use to.

The thing about being young is that a one year gap can seem like 10 years. Then when you get much older, you realize it for what it is. Inconsequential.

[@roundtheloopandback]

She doesn't know how to articulate her thoughts properly plus the last guy she was dating was a lot older, which made her feel more secure, the fact is he's older than his years, she'd probably find he's a great partner.
