Am I crazy for dating a much older man?

My mother was 20 years younger than my father. She was 32 when I was born and he was 52. He passed away at the age of 82 when I was 30. They had alot of differences that never got worked out and I think it was due to the age/interest gap not to mention she was good at pushing anyone's last button. They divorced when I was 12 remarried a couple of years later only to divorce finally when I was 15. I am not sure if you can see where I am going here or if I even see it fully but I personally feel that if you get along great, fall in love and have a successful relationship then there is nothing wrong with it. True love knows no boundaries. Best of luck to you....

yes,why not?Date is Date,it's not marry with that old man.But first of all,starting from friend.it could be more than friend in the future...who know!\nI had a date with a man 45 years old.He is very funny,cheerful  and he has a lot of good/bad experiences to talk to me.I could learn many things from him.I mean we exchanged our experience life.Since I know him till now he is one of my best friend.and you know,when I met him,I said "You're an ASSHOLE....I don't care what your name...Art,Arthur or Asshole!!I don't care at all".It's impolite but I said that to him!!I cannot believe myself I said that to him!!!How come!!!

It sounds like he might be interested. If he's single and he's really a nice guy - just see what happens -- and let it flow naturally. Don't try to force anything. \n\nDon't listen to others who are hung up on the age difference. Age is a state of mind. But do beware that getting into a serious relationship with someone who's older is a little different than someone closer to your age. If you get serious and end up together -- there will come a point where you worry about him being so much older.....just think - when you're 41 - he'll be 60....when you're 51 - he'll be 70.....\n\nGood luck:)

When I was 20 I dated a guy who was 26... it was fine for awhile but it didn't last.  I say if you feel like you're on the same level maturity wise and he treats you right, go ahead!

no,you should still like him maybe dating a older boy will help you mature and have one with you that is.

how old is way too old? go out with the guy you have known for 4 years. It sounds like you may be able to trust him more

If there's a connection, there's a connection! It doesn't matter the age difference, or who's older.\n\nPersonally, i have a preference for older men - i like the whole 'being protected' thing and somehow i can't really see a younger man offering as much comfort!\n\nBut to each her/his own - it all depends on what you want out of the relationship, and whether the other person is ready and able to give it to you. \n\nMaybe ask yourself what the younger man wants from you? If you can tell he's serious about the relationship and not just wanting a "trophy older woman", then by all means :)

First of all age really is just a number as long as he is over 18. If he only pays attention to you and would rather spend time with you than those other women his own age than I would say give him a chance. I have a friend who is dating a younger man too and they seem to be getting along just fine she is 29 and he is 23. Give him that first date then you'll find out if his feelings are real.

Even though many people say, "Love has no age difference" there is. Point blank. \n\nFirst of all, if you trust him 100% and you love him then don't worry about the women before you. Those were just mistakes that lead up to you. \n\nSecondly, yes he's older. But NEVER, EVER let him pressure you into doing something that you don't want to or most importantly, not ready for. Just because his ex's did such and such all the time or something, doesn't mean that you do to. Make him realize that. \n\nThirdly, I'd test the waters. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Just take it all in stride, chances are that this might not be your "one" but it's all a learning process. So what you don't date younger guys? The more you date, the more you learn the specifications of the type of man you want to be with in the future. Enjoy yourself, but don't lose yourself!

nothing wrong with you. I dated a guy for 8 years who was 18 years older than me.... it was a wonderful experience.

Gosh, I really agree with you on this one....I've been asking myself this question ever since I was a teenager...now I'm 36 and not much has changed....pretty sad huh??\nI really have no problem meeting guys that are attracted to me BUT they are never the ones that I would ever have a relationship with.....I have asked myself if I'm giving off the wrong kind of signs...etc..but in the end, it just doesn't seem to matter, I'm always right back to where I started.  I'm "best friends" with a guy now that I seriously have dated on and off for the past 5 years and we see eachother almost every day but he still isn't "in love" with me....I am 100% in love with this man and I have no doubts in my mind that he is a "soulmate" IF there is such a thing but I still don't "have" him.  I think there may be certain people out there who are just destined to spend the rest of their life single....not that that is such a bad thing....because I don't necessarily believe that you HAVE to get married but it sure would be nice to grow old with someone...I guess in the end only time will tell.   I guess I can say that I will always have my "pillow" that I hug every night...that won't be going anywhere real soon...ha ha ha

If you do he is a lucky man.  Age isn't a huge factor in every relationship.  The question is really is this the right guy and the right relationship for you?  A age difference like this will always present some problems but nothing that you can't deal with or predict if your honest with yourselves.  Think it through and don't worry about what others think, do what is right for you.

The older the man is the better for you because women tend to look older than men especially after giving birth. So dont worry about that guy being 3 years older, in fact up to 10 years older, it still ok but not more than that. Meanwhile, let him make the first move, inviting you out for a first date. Then you see how things will work out. You both have yet to know about each other better than to just plunge deeply into a relationship. You should try and know about his past. He may have certain weaknessess you may not know off. So just go slow and takes things slowly. If hes willed to be with you, he will be, otherwise you just like chasing in the wind. May God Bless you with the will to decide wisely to pursue the relationship with him.

Not really, but understand that this will not be a permanent relationship.  An older guy should introduce you better things than a guy your age.  Nice restaurants, plays, concerts.  In exhange you are keeping him young.

wow, 28 and 63, what an age difference.  What country are you in, i don't think i can advise you on anything being that you are in an entirely different culture and i don't know anything about it.  If you were in America, I would say that he is too old for you, you seem to be in love with him though, i think the only thing you can do is wait and see.  Does he ever come see you?  If not, that is not dating, it is cyberdating, which is not the same thing, if you don't see each other often, unless he is taking care of you and is extremely rivch, iwould find a new man.

Kinda have to laugh at that one. I don't even think of late 20's as a age difference. I'm 36, recently dated a 28 yr old. We would occasionally laugh and he'd call me a cradle robber, and i'd call him a silly boy, but it's all in play. As long as you are emotionally responsible, then the conversation should flow naturally. (I'm into 80's music and star wars~~ yes geeky, I know, but typical of the ladies my age....).... Try starting with stuff like that.

I am telling you this from experience and from my heart. Go with an older man. I am 34 and dating a man who is 20 years my senior. I have never been happier in my life than I am right now. The maturity factor trumps everthing else. They know how to treat a woman like a woman and not a girl. There is respect present in their personalities that isn't there in younger men. And the sex is incredible. Trust me, I wouldn't tell you this if it were not true. If you have your eye on an older man, go for it.
