Can it really work?

I met a guy last year in September. From the very start he was very clear he was interested in me. I didn’t take it too seriously- I mean come on, he was 24 and I’m 41… but he wouldn’t let go. He was calling me every chance he got, we have spent HOURS on FaceTime and now we’re in a LDR. I really fell for him… last month I went to visit and I realised I really want to be with him. But the age difference is eating me alive. I didn’t feel it at all when we were together. On the contrary. Still… can it really work? I know a few people when the woman is older, but not by that much. He is amazing in every way. He makes me feel so special. I wouldn’t want to loose him…
