Love knows no age boundaries. In a world filled with judgment and criticism, an 18-year-old woman finds solace and security in her relationship with a 60-year-old man.
Despite facing backlash from online trolls, she confidently declares that their connection is genuine and she has never felt safer.
The Beginning of The Couple
Keisha Louise, 18, from Scotland claimed that she first met Dimitrios Fotis, who is now 60, at the gym where she worked as a part-time receptionist.
She affirmed that there was nothing between them at the first time and was just attracted to his friendliness.
When she turned 18, she started working out at the gym and they began talking more and getting to know each other.
The Age Gap between the 18-year-old girl and 60-year-old man
Louise shared that she was nervous about what people would think if she dated an older man. However, she finally fell in love with him and no longer cares about their ages.
"When Dimitrios first asked me out on a date, I was hesitant. Not because of his age, but because of the 42-year age gap between us.
"I was worried about what others would think and say about our relationship. But after spending more time with him and getting to know him better, I realized that age was just a number and it didn't matter to me," she concluded.
Overcoming Negative Opinions
As their relationship became more public, they started receiving negative comments and messages from strangers on social media.
Many dubbed her a "gold digger" and accused Dimitrios of taking advantage of her. Some even went as far as calling their relationship "disgusting" and "wrong."
This is really why money can buy happiness, one user said.
I got muted just for innocently saying it’s sweet that she was on a life with her grampa!! How childish. I didn’t know they were a couple!! Salty much, the second replied.
Louise admitted she was hurt by these comments but then did not too much care about them.
"Then I realized that these people didn't know us or our love story," she said.
"They were just strangers hiding behind a screen, trying to bring others down. So instead of letting their words affect us, we chose to ignore them and focus on our love for each other," Louise added.
"In our relationship, age has never been an issue. We don't see each other as "old" or "young," but simply as two individuals who love and care for each other," she insisted.
Besides the negative commenters, many supporters praised the couple's relationship.
no one else's opinion matters, as long as you're happy! One user said.
This is the cutest, this is true love age is just a number people need to stop being so quick to judge if you happy girl you happy, the second replied.
I understand everyone questioning the huge age gap but u do BOTH look HAPPY TOGETHER, someone wrote.
