I am an experienced woman, and I've never met in my life someone as sweet as that guy. Even if we didn't make love personally, doing it online made me feel extremely happy. I am bipolar, so when I am happy I am extremely happy. I enjoyed so much his romanticism, and when he broke up with me I fell into this horrible depression I am at present. One of my most terrible fears is that I won't have the chance to date a young guy again.
I don't have children, he was not treated as my son, but his youth turned me on.

I am not sure you are looking for a mother figure. Perhaps you just want a woman who can initiate you into the depths of loving making.

I think what you had was not based in "real life" - but it was very real in your head. Are you able to have a "fantasy type" relationship with a "younger" person...without the pain of knowing it may not turn into a real life relationship? This does not mean that I do not think the people of different ages cannot have fulfilling relationships but expectations would need to be realistic. Sorry that you are in pain over this. I'm sure you do miss him and how he made you feel. Keep your feet on the ground.
