Have you thought this through?  \n\nThat's a 30 year difference and no matter how much you love him, real life has a nasty habit of intruding into romance.  \n\nIn a few years, he might not be physically independent.  How do you feel about adult diapers? Could you handle that?  \n\nYou should really think hard about these questions now and be honest with yourself -- and with him.  Because if you go down that road and bail on him later, that would truly suck!

Do you think you would have the same feelings for him/about him if he was closer to your age?  Society puts a lot of stipulations on this type of relationship.  My first love was a man who was 12 years older than myself (with whom I had a child) and I was married to a man 17 years my senior.  The age factor didn't bother me, but it did bother my husband.  He felt a little insecure with our age differences - he thought I would wake up one day and want to be with a younger man.  That wasn't the case at all.  We had fun together - laughed, good experiences - and not so good (like all relationships).  We had differing viewpoints on some issues, but nothing we couldn't agree to disagree on.  You need to ask yourself if you feel as if you would be missing out on something in life if you decided to stay in a relationship with this man.  Are you compatible in other ways?  Do you both want the same things out of life?  Are you happy?  Where do each of you see yourselves in 5 years - together or apart?  What about children?  No relationship is a piece of cake and with an age difference it makes it a little more difficult, but not impossible.  Follow your heart, do what makes you happy.

If you are legal age (you didn't mention your age) then dating him is no big deal if you are both interested in one another.  If there is a huge age difference between you both you might keep in mind that your relationship with him might not be long term, as you might not have much in common.  However, as long as you are of legal age then go for it - who's to stop you.

Age should not matter in my opinion...Just as long as you truly love each other,you should push everything aside and know that you're meant to be.

Well, I'm 35 and my boyfriend is 23....so go for it! You're both adults. If you both consent, to hell with what anyone else thinks. I met my boyfriend two years ago and my mother just hates it!! But, she has to endure because we're about to have a child together (any day now). I'm not ashamed to admit that I initially pursued him because he was hot! I don't regret any of it either. \n\nA word of advice though: the age difference will crop up, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. I'm not just talking about what other people will say. It will crop up between the two of you. There are just some things you can't change and the big one is that you have way more life experience than he does, no matter how mature he may be. How each of you handles these moments will determine whether or not a relationship will work....along with all the other relating factors. Age difference doesn't have to be an obstacle if handled with care. I've had to remind myself on many occasions that I used to be his age and I used to think or act as he does. I can't change him...he's going to things his way...after all that's how we all learn.\nThe very fact that he reminds me of myself at that age is one of the reasons I love being around him. It makes me feel understood and not so alone in the world. I never had that with any other man.

He probably IS toying with your heart. Try this. Say..."I know you think it's funny, but I don't. If you like me, let me know. I have a lot of feelings for you and I think there's something between us." If that's too cheesy for you, change it up a big. :D...\n\n6 years really isn't TOO big of a deal. If it's true love, it shouldn't be anything but an age. good luck!

There is nothing wrong at all with that. Don't let yourself get wrapped up in the whole 'age thing'.  If he makes you happy and you enjoy his company, then that's all that matters.

Honey, as long as this guy is nice to you, understands about the difficulties such age differences mean, and is basically a good guy then date him, have fun, but don't let him press you to do things you don't want to. I married a man older then myself and have been very happy. It takes longer for men to mature then women so really he is basically your age right about now. So the real question is do you want to date some one who is the same age as you? lol

Age is just a number,as long as u both like/love each other.Go ahead with it.

I think that so long as it doesn't bother either of you - go for it. When I was 18 I dated a guy who was 40 - there's nothing wrong with it so long as you have things in common and you don't let the age different impact the relationship.

I personally find it ok since I am 22 and my bf is 32, so I pretty much know something about age difference. Loves doesn't understand of ages, that is true, but assume that people will think they have the right to judge your relationship all the time. At first is difficult for parents, friends... to undertand that the person you love is slightly older than you, but trust me, if you love eachother everyone will see how happy you are together and will realise there is nothing wrong in your relationship. If you love eachother that is whats important.

hi emily!! if you like him then go for it..but the only main thing that you should know your limitations..i hope u know what i mean..me i like to date older guys too but my experienced is not that great..most of them they will try to use you..some of them they just really likes you for who you are..youre still young and there's a lot of guy out there and its your decision whether u want to take a chance..get to know him first and ull see..and ask him straight like what his intensions for you!!!then ull go from there!\n\ntake care

Yes it is ok! As long as your in love! You can love him and he can love you! Age does not notice age, it does not hate, it is not jealous! Love is pure love! Love is all that matters!

Of course - age is no barrier to happiness, but you must ensure that the age gap is never an issue between you. You should be blind to the age difference . . .

I would just take it slow.  He still has time to grow and learn about life.  Maybe he really would like to do that with you.  Some guys are more ready than others. Just take it slow so u dont get crushed.   The age thing is not a huge deal.  Really you are not that much older than he is.  He could be serious.  Just realize that he is not established yet.  If you are and are comfortable with that, then go for it!!!!
