A woman's boyfriend who is 26 years older than her is often mistaken for her dad by strangers.
Chloe Canterbury, 26, from Florida, US, has to awkwardly correct strangers when they mistake her boyfriend, Eric, 52, for being her dad.
The couple met through mutual friends and have been together for almost two years after admitting she found him attractive and was drawn to his maturity.
Chloe, a mum-of-one to her three-year-old daughter, Sophia, confessed she is attracted to a more mature man.
She said: "I am mature beyond my years, and I am attracted to the maturity of someone older.
"This isn't my first age gap relationship. I prefer to be with older men because I don't want to have to deal with the dramas that would come with dating someone my own age.
"Strangers have confused Eric as being my dad, especially when we have been away on holiday, but I just correct them and tell them he is my boyfriend, not my dad.
"They don't mean it maliciously, they just genuinely don't know. So it doesn't bother me at all.
"Eric and I first met through mutual friends.
"It wasn't romantic between us at all in the beginning as I was in a relationship at the time.
"I ended my engagement with my fiancé prior to Eric and I talking.
"I have a three-year-old daughter and Eric had a four-year-old daughter, so we were initially having play dates with our daughters and eventually things just progressed."
Chloe admitted she doesn't like to put up with immaturity from men her age.
She says that she is more mature than most people her age, and therefore she prefers to have relationships with older men.
Chloe added: "Being in a relationship with someone older doesn't worry me.
"We talk about growing our family in the future. We both want more kids.
"It's one of the first things we spoke about when we started dating.
"As well as his younger daughter, he also has an 18-year-old daughter and I have an amazing relationship with her.
"We have become best friends - we do everything together.
"I am so grateful for how well we get along and makes mine and Eric's relationship even more special.
"Eric and I align in every aspect of life.
"We love to travel and are adventurous. We're both business owners so we can connect on this level too.
"And we love to have fun. Sometimes I feel like he is younger than me when we are partying!
"We're very similar."
Chloe says that Eric also won her over by how much of a good dad he was to his daughters, which is important to her as she has a daughter of her own.
Although it can be daunting introducing an older partner to friends and family, Chloe's family love Eric as she does.
She said: "At the beginning of the relationship it can be hard when you think about what people will think of your relationship and how people will judge it.
"But you just have to realise that it doesn't matter what other people think as long as you're happy, however it can be hard to overcome those thoughts.
"In my first age gap relationship, no one really know about us apart from my closest friends because I was scared of being judged.
"However, Eric met my family after a few months of dating and now they love him just as much as I do.
"The only other challenge I have had to overcome is how people say it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
"He can be stubborn and stuck in his ways, but we compromise and overcome things.
"It just sometimes takes me a little longer to explain to him that there are other perspectives on things.
"I'm so grateful for our age gap relationship because I don't have to put up with little boy drama.
"I love we hang out with our children and grateful for his older daughter and the relationship we have. I wouldn't have this with someone her age.
"We love to go on vacations together and we share a passion for business. It's nice having someone who I can trust the opinion of because he has years of experience.
"I wouldn't change it for the world."
