Age Gap (Part 2)

Tweet

When we first met, he calls me "Ate". The Tagalog term for older sister. But as time goes by, he told me that I should never fall for him. I was annoyed because during that time, I already fell for him without him knowing it. And I told him that I won't and if ever I do, I will not let him know it. Until he admitted that he was the one falling for me. I was shocked and at the same time happy but confused because I know to myself that I love him. Now, he is already treating me like a girlfriend but I could not treat him as my boyfriend because I do not know what to do. I am no longer deeply in love with my "ex" and I am starting to love this younger man because he makes me feel appreciated and loved. But he is younger than me by four years (I am 25 he is 21) and he is younger than my brother who is 23. Is that a big issue to deal with? What should I do? :o(
