It doesn't matter how old a woman is, you'll never know what they're thinking. Enjoy the time you have together and stop worrying about the age gap. (Besides, 44 sounds like a perfect age for a woman, good luck with it all).
Sony, my boyfriend is 22 and I'm 34 - if you asked him how I feel about him he probably couldn't tell you. And vice versa, I don't really know how he feels about me. But we have a fantastic time together, and what will be will be. Incidentally, I adore him, but I'd never tell him that, just in case it freaked him out! I don't suppose that helps you at all! Just enjoy being together and listen to your heart - that's normally a good gauge.
