I was hoping this is the best place to get answers to my questions for peace of mind. I had been trying to search the internet for a long while, finally, I think I am in the right place. I am at mid 50s, just lost 2 great relationships in my entire life and was scared to fall in love again but lately, I felt different to someone I met in a gaming website. She is in her mid 20s. I felt too old to be dealing with her moreover, she has an extra ordinary sexual behavior. She informed me that she gets pleasures from phone sex, cybersex, with someone physically and sexting but claims that she doesn't sleep around. We have unstable relationship because it's hard for me to read her mood. We talk in the phone and text frequently, sweet then all of a sudden her mood changes which most of the time leads to argument. I would like to pursue and keep this relationship. Am I crazy to deal with someone who is over half of my age yet have unusual sex appetite? I love her the way she is, she doesn't have to change her sexual behavior but I wonder if her mood swings which sometimes irritates me is due to mental disorder? Reaching out for answers, I truly appreciate any feedback.

Hi Dedicated. There a a lot of people that sext and have phone sex. I personally do not desire that type of sex. But hey you wont catch any diseases! Sorry.... had to say that
But if this girls sexual behavior is strange to you, she is so young, and her moods change so quickly that to me probably should be a red flag not to continue with her.
And please always remember when you are dealing with anyone on the internet they can say they are any age. They can be whoever they want you to think they are. Pictures can also be someone else. So be careful

I do not think her age or sexual preferences are problematic but the mood swings/arguments are a concern.

Have you met in person yet? If not, maybe that would be a good goal before you commit your emotions to her.

If you haven't met her in real life, you don't really know her yet, even if it feels as if you know her well. Her mood swings could mean anything from bi-polar disorder to moodiness to monthly hormonal changes to boredom to being a drama llama to upsetting things happening in her life she's not telling you about to wanting to ditch you for a while so she can do other things. And even more. You just don't know.

If the age difference and her sexual behaviors don't bother you, then they don't have to be a problem. But when someone we love has unpredictable mood swings we don't understand, it can really make life hell.

It might be best to hang onto your heart until you've been with this young lady in person for a while. Find out what the mood swings are all about before you go too far forward.

I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for this!

I agree about finding a way to meet. Agree, the moods could be from a variety of things, interacting in person could explain, you'd see body language.
Arguing is a concern, if it's going beyond a more friendly disagreement or one that's heartfelt and expressing needs in a productive attempt at relationship growth.
Seeing how the other behaves in person, seeing the eye contact and body language that goes with voice pitch, seeing what distracts and brings about 'quiet time', and all those important nuances.
Relationships are a big investment of heart, time, and energy.

I've noticed that a lot of people get quite emotionally invested in on-line relationships, even to the point of feeling that they are in love, despite never having met the other person IRL. My main advice is that, until you have spent time in the physical presence of someone, you do not know that person. You may have the illusion that you know the person, but it is an illusion. You say you love her the way she is, but I would caution you that you don't know the way she is. You have never actually met her.

So go ahead and get to know her better, if you want to. But be prepared that you may discover that she is not who you think she is. Whatever problems you are picking up on, like her moodiness, will probably be bigger problems when you encounter them close up. Then you can better evaluate if this is someone you really want to get involved with. Also, she doesn't really know you yet. When she actually meets you, she may change a lot in how interested she is in you.
Thanks for this!

I totally agree with Rose76. I think the two of you are only having "illusions" about each other and are getting carried away tbh. Have you even seen her "live" on the net? You don't even really "know" she is the age she says she is, some people "say" they are mid twenties or so and in reality are more like mid 50's. I have seen people actually do that, it's creepy if you ask me.

Anyway, she is probably only in it for "immediate gradification/ excitement" and really doesn't even care about you, in fact she could be doing this with others besides you too.

My advice? Love should take place IRL with people you can physically meet and interact with.

I am planning to meet her by 1st week of October, reason why I raised questions because if many oppose then, I really should drop the plan. We have the same thoughts on mental/mood issue. Thanks for your pieces of advise. God bless.
