Age Difference for K-1. Comments Welcome.

[Tim/Mav 305]

Mavylyn and I met on MySpace almost 4 years ago. Just friends. To me at that time just a pretty philipina. The last year and a half I began to talk to her all the time. As I got closer to her I realized there is a 17 year age difference and I was getting to serious and with her feelings in mind and her future tried to end it. She was not happy and hurt. I deleted My entire MySpace account but forgot she was on my Messenger. 2 Days had passed and I sat miserably but knowing I did the right thing. Suddenly, a message come from Mav. I was so excited to hear from her. And it went from there.

Mavylyn is 32 and I'm 49. I met the family last August and have their Approval. I proposed to Mav January 30th 2010 and she is wearing my ring. (Well her ring) LOL

How do you feel and what do think the Philipphine Consulate will feel.

Mav and I talk EVERYDAY. Either Yahoo, web cam, phone.

Your imput is welcome. Oh, Mav don't know I wrote this yet. Our Account on VJ is Joint. OMG! She's going to kill me !

Thanks. Say it as it is please.

Large age differences are common in Manilla. I do think if it hasn't mattered up until now - it won't matter for you

Bring lots of evidence of communication and your meetings if you think you need to

Good luck

Won't be a problem with the age difference. There is a 21 year age gap between my wife and me. As said above. bring lots of evidences to prove a bonafide relationship. That is what they are looking for! Good luck to you both!

Age doesn't matter ^_^as long as your love is true...Be yourself...If you are happy with her and feel you wanna grow old with her then go man..you both deserve happiness in life..

Don't just give up with age gap.

It sounds like you have found someone special. The age difference is not worth the time worrying over. It is quite common in the PI. The embassy will not be concerned with it as long as you meet and have sufficient relationship evidence.

BTW.......I am 48 and my wife (from Mindanao) is 23.

wow!that is good story!mike and i met on myspace too!!(he is 7 yrs older than me).I saw a lot of couple here in philippines like you,also some of my friend married to american who has 20-30 age gap...applied K1 visa too. then they got approved!and living in states for many years now.

Age REALLY doesn't matter long as there is genuine relationship you dont have to worry.

Just keep all the emails,chat,phone bill,itineraries,etc..Good luck to your new journey!

P.S you can message me if u still have some question about it,the age gap!hehehe!

Being a man it's more accepted, But an older woman, wow! not too many ppl like to hear that you're with a younger man..Good Luck I Wish You Both The Best

Going to the Philippines was a shock for me. As far as Age difference. 22 year old women with 70 year old men. Where am I. BEAM ME UP SCOTTY.. LOL

My lovely sisters and finance'

[MinnielovesMickey 4]

didn't see that kind of case yet,older woman with young boy lol..but you will see as usual here that man have 20-30 yrs older than their boyfriend,i think im not questioning that cause filipina is natural loving person,filipina will love you for who you are even your older than her...unlike some people care about age gap (sorry for those people,hehe!)we FILIPINA didnt care about it long as you love us...

That is only my personal opinion,been living here for 25 yrs as filipina,i see a lot of things.

I always had a problem with the age gap. Now I got over it. But thats just me. What about others. I know I should'nt care. I don't no more. Mav's family knew we talked for years and met me at the Airport and was there when I left. What wonderful people.

Now you know that is nothing for us...even my sister married from 29 yrs older than her,her hubby is

american too,their living in california now..yah filipino family here is very supportive,my fiance always had fun here with all of my brothers..even my brother in law who is american too..we really didnt care about age gap..but still have some filipina care about it,it is just individual difference and perspective.

Good luck to your new journey

true love has no age........what god brings together let no man put under....I never believed in this soul mate business, until i meet my joy, all my mis-conceptions flew out the window, no man, no interveiwer, no country will keep us from being together...when we are together theres no age, just pure love!!!

_{I’m Very Happy for You. This page has a very positive look at this subject. I have a good feeling when I read this post, but if you will go to the Egypt Portal Page you will find in Egypt Hot Topics ( on the right side of the page) A Topic entitled "Family Acceptance" Where you will see how a woman can be bashed and condemned by many for loving a younger man. It isn’t seen as love in so many ppl’s eyes only seen as the man being too young. He’s 22 she’s 38. I found myself writing on this post as I am older than my fiancé. On that post ppl had become so cruel that additional posting was stopped. To me it was the saddest display I had ever seen. Giving advice was one thing but being cruel was just not what that lady deserved. Where I come from at age 18 you’re old enough to make your own decisions. I realize not everyone will agree with age difference, but please don’t place judgement on others. Many Thanks to everyone posting here who knows what the meaning of LOVE is}
