I'm 27 and am falling for a man that is 41. Does anyone see anything wrong with the age difference?

Hmmm, just be careful. I can tell you one thing, he is probably in his 2nd sexual prime at about 40. He might not be as active as you either... LOL. I am 45... Hmmm, where are the rest of the 27 year olds? (Todd)

Well....I am 11 years older than my husband.  I am 42, he is 31...it is wonderful.  Age makes no difference.  Embrace the things that you have in common and learn about each other through your differences...Enjoy life...it only happens once!

There's nothing wrong with that! One of my friends is going out with a guy two years older than her-has been for 4 years now.\nGood luck :)

It really depends on how old you are. If you are say, 22, and he is older than you are then, no, I don't think that the age difference is that big of a deal. If he is the younger one you should be at least 32 for the age differencet to be okay. One question, do his and your parents know the age difference? Are they okay with it? If not, find their reasons behind thinking that way. But, if the reasons are unreasonable based then don't worry about it. Overall, as long as you aren't illegal, I'd say that it is alright.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it.I have younger men interested in me and I just go with the flow. Age doesn't matter as long as you are both adults.

no, i was with someone that was 10 years older than myself. age is only a number, & in the long run there should be no problems, because you both would be mature enough to know that age is only a #.

age gap is not a problem really, but what is your actual age? are you in a stage to understand the difference between love and attraction? affection and passion? if not, Take the advise of the elders.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WRONG!!! 1 year is NOTHING. It is much more about how you 2 connect with eachother than how close you are in years.  I once had a thing with a guy 2.5 yrs younger than me, and we are still great friends, cuz he was an absolutely AMAZING person, and was super cute, and quite frankly was more mature than most guys my age. Guys the same age as me were always pressuring me to do things I didn't want to, but since I was older than him, this boy was SO respectful of me and my decisions and feelings. And what a sweetheart... as you can see, I could talk for hours.  Obviously dating a guy like 5 years younger than you is kinda weird, but just a few years is NO reason to hide feelings for a guy. If he treats you well, who cares how old he is? And if you're worried about being made fun of, then DON'T! YOU like him, and it's YOUR business. End of story. Best of luck with him! <3

As long as you are really in love. I don't think love really knows age. Do you love the kid too? You gotta understand that there is a lot of baggage when it comes to a relationship like that and you have to be ready to deal with it (kid, ex, history, stuff like that). Have you always like older guys. You might be lookin for a father figure or someone to take care of ya. Sorry, it didn't say if it was a man or woman-you might also be lookin for a mother figure too. :) Good luck!

I date and live with a man that is 10 yrs. younger than I am, and we have the most wonderful love and relationship you could imagine. I personally do not think age should matter at all as long as the two of you are happy.

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.

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:)

My personal opinion is that the age difference is not as important as the fact that you are not 18 yet.  I would wait just two more years... you will be 18 and he will be 27.  It is technically against the law in most places for that age difference when you are a minor.  Again, the age difference is not the biggest deal here, the fact that 16 makes you a legal minor.  I date much older guys too... but I waited till I was 18 and a legal adult.

Nothing is wrong with it as long as it is consentual and a relationship based on respect and affection.  When I was 18 I dated a 44 year old guy, we stayed together for 3 years and we're still great friends.  \n\nHowever I've also known older men that prey on younger women and men because they are less experianced, and use them for sex, like that they can easily control them, or fetishize them to a startling extreme.  That is not cool to me because it lacks the fundamental respect for their partner.\n\nIt doesn't matter if your bf is 18 or 85, you should both be treating each other as equals with respect and no exploitation.  That advice goes to couples who are the same age too.
