I’ve fallen for a man in his 40s through Instagram.
This content is machine-translated.
Whenever I message him saying things like, “You’re so handsome,” he reacts to it. But I’ve noticed that he responds to everyone.
My life is about to get busy too, so if he isn’t interested in me, I’d like to move on.
He seems to live a glamorous lifestyle, so I’m sure he’s popular.
A question for the men here: Is it possible for someone in their 40s to genuinely fall for someone in their 20s?
Also, I’m sorry for asking something like this on a papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) message board. I realize I may not have been very considerate.
I know of cases where men in their 40s married women in their 20s.
That said, from the man’s perspective, it can be difficult to say outright that he’d like to date a woman in her 20s.
If you’re interested in him, I think you’ll have to make the first move—otherwise, nothing will happen.

People who know how to grow their Instagram account never cut corners when replying to comments or exchanging messages (DMs).
The more often they interact with their followers, the more highly Instagram’s AI rates their account, which helps it grow.
Anyone who’s successful at doing business on Instagram or building a fanbase is always mindful of this.
Based on the information you provided, I think that’s probably what’s happening here.
It’s not unusual for a man in his 40s to genuinely fall for a woman in her 20s, but I think that’s unlikely in this case.
Sorry for the disappointing answer.
—It’s me

I’m in my 40s, but I’m seriously dating a woman in her 20s. I genuinely love her. Based on my own experience, I can say with certainty that men in their 40s can truly fall for women in their 20s.
That said, I’m not sure I really understand what you mean when you say, “I fell in love.” I can understand being intrigued because you met someone who was handsome and seemed wealthy, but was it really love?
He’s responding to other people besides you, seems to live a flashy lifestyle, and you don’t seem to know much about his personality, values, or character. So when you talk about “love” or “seriously falling for him,” I honestly can’t relate.
Isn’t this what people call “being in love with the idea of being in love”?
This isn’t really a question of whether he’s interested in you or not. It seems to me that nothing has even started yet between you and this man.
You’re about to get busy, so don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll forget about him soon without even having to try that hard. I don’t see a relationship deep enough to require you to “move on” from it.

Isn’t it restraint, rather than consideration, that’s lacking here?
Speaking strictly in terms of age, I do think a man in his 40s can genuinely fall for a woman in her 20s.

It does happen that they become serious about someone.
If you have something you’re confident sets you apart from the other 100 women thinking the same thing, go for it.
