do older men ever intensely desire to love younger women in a romantic way?

it’s not a secret many, MANY older men are sexually attracted to younger women, even much younger women. but my question is, are older men also romantically interested in younger women? like, i admit. the man i’m in love with and talking to online , we met on reddit (lmao i wish i was joking) and our “relationship” is very sexual. but i ended up feeling more for him. i’m probably wasting my time, but i don’t know how he’d feel knowing that a younger woman actually loves him outside of a sexual context or if he’d be unnerved, because i don’t think a lot of men attracted to younger women are romantically attracted to them and just desire sex…please tell me i’m wrong.
