May-December Love

I was reading a blog post of a fellow blogger about her point of view for May-December love, and it was quite interesting to bring it up right here. First I think some of you may not understand what May-December love is, I searched on the Internet, and I found the common definition of May-December love is "a couple who has a big age difference, either a romance between younger men and an older women, or younger women and older men". However, May-December love is commonly used for description of a romance between younger guys and older women.

Obviously May-December love is not something fresh already, I often learn those similar stories from the TV or newspaper. Even with today's opened society, many people still don't accept any kind of May-December love, they think May-December love won't last long, and it's a fruitless love. Interestingly I watched a several TV dramas about May-December love, whenever the male character fall in love with an older female character, the endings are always stereotyped - Either the male character or the female character proposes a breakup because of the pressure from his / her friends and family. Is May-December love really a nothing came love?

Now let's talk about what the blogger's thoughts about May-December love. On her blog she said she agreed that girls shouldn't fall in love with younger guys, but on the other hand she said if he does love the girl and the girl thinks he'll give her whatever she needs, then the age difference shouldn't be a matter. She also said we should cherish the moment, cherish the person we love. If he / she is your true love, why would you care about the age difference?

What about my thoughts about May-December love? Maybe I don't have the "qualification" to say whether May-December love is good or bad - I didn't have a lot of romances before, and I have never had any romance since I came to the U.S. - Another thing is I prefer my girlfriend is few years younger than me, but I can also say that love is blind. Trust me, whenever you fall in love with someone, you'll eventually accept anything good or bad about him / her, at that moment, would you still think how old he / she is? Just like my previous blog post, if you do love someone you should love him / her whole-heartedly, don't think anything else, just to love. Age should not be an obstacle of a romance.
