Heck yeah!!!  All that matters is if the two people are compatable.  Age is just a number.

Yes its OK providing you are over the age of consent. There is nothing wrong with relationships between older men and younger women providing that both are old enough to consent to what they are doing. \n\nYou are probably not old enough to consent to a relationship so it cause problems. I would leave it until you are both old enough to enter a relationship legally. You or he may have found someone else and have moved on by then. If not, you might want to see how you feel about each other then.\n\nMy brother married a girl who was 13 years younger than him and they have three kids.\n\nBest wishes to you for the future.

It can work if you guys have similiar ways of thinking and have fun together.  Sometimes older men/women have more experience in dating and can take advantage of you without you even realizing it.  Also, especially with men, you gotta make sure they're with you for the right reasons, not just to feel young again or prove something.  \n\nI asked a similiar question and got mixed responses.  Some people said age is nothing but a number or I'm married to an older man, but that kind of response doesn't really tell you anything.  Obviously age is important or else we wouldn't even be concerned about it.  \n\nI suggest that you spend some time with him and after some thought, decide if you really think he's right for you or if it is a phase or short-lived attraction.  I had a crush on an older guy before, but then I realized I just felt comforted and secure around him, but was not in love with him.\n\nGood luck, and follow your heart AND mind!\n\nP.S.  It also depends on your age.  If you're around 18, stick to guys around your age (3-4 years older) for experience reasons.  If you're 22 or older, five years difference is not neccessarily a big deal.  If you're under 18, be careful always!

I think the maturity level of the two persons involved makes a difference, I mean if you are both willing to accept each other for who you are and for how well you get along, similar interests, good communication, respect, and love. If things are good between the two of you, age should not make a difference. My boyfriend is 22 years younger than I am, we have been together for over two years and things are great! I know what you are talking about though. Finding the right person to share your life with is difficult enough. Age should not be an issue. Let him know this, and let him know how you feel about him, that's about all you can do, the rest is up to him.

Yes. Age is a number and providing the reason that both parties are together is not based on reasons other than love (lust?) then there is not a problem.  That is the question that needs to be seriously consulted however.  There is no law being broken and if they are happy then so what. You must also take into account the maturity of both people.  I knew people at 14 who were more mature than those aged 20, likewise now, I know 25-30 year olds who have the maturity of a late teen.\n\n(and no, I'm not a 40year old dating a teenage girl, I'm 22...and prefer men anyway ;-p)

These relationships can work. What's important is that you both understand what each others differences and similarities are and understand each others background, values and beliefs. There must be respect for each other because both of you come different environments which is base on your age. I believe when two people take a chance and get to know each other, they will discover beautiful things about each other. This is true in any relationship. I believe the most important thing in a relationship is taking two people from various backgrounds and the joy is making a relationship work. Remember there much give and take in any relationship.

If you like older men, that really isn't a problem.  The things that make a woman interesting to an older guy is no different than for a younger guy.\n\nThe best advice is, do not act your age.  If he is older he probably will not be interested in an immature, childish, kid.  He wants a woman, not someone he will have to baby.\n\nIf you are a minor, however, remember that your actions can irreversibly damage his life for the rest of his life, and only a foolish man is going to risk the potential disaster of a relationship with you.  Do you really want a fool for a boyfriend?  You can send him to prison on nothing more than your words alone, and that wouldn't be a very wise risk to take, would it?

Love your spelling. When you say older, what do you mean? If a younger woman approached me, I would be skeptical of her motives. She would have to be an intellectual equal for me to consider her more than a booty call. What kind of dates would you both feel comfortable on? If he is seen out with you, what are others going to say? Is he married? Will people tell? There's some pressure here.

Yes we do! younger men dont have hang ups and younger men have more stamina ; ) younger men are teachable and moldable and younger men appreciate a real woman.

lol, I am a 34 year old woman deeply in love with a 46 year old man!  No kidding.  It is working for us so far!  And I have never been happier. Not sure what kind of advice you need.  Our ages never seem to cause a problem.  Good luck to you both.

depends how mature the man is. generally it'll be a disaster, she's still a teenager and no matter how mature she may seem she still has a lot to learn. maybe something could come out of it 5 years from now... but i highly doubt right now as an 18 yr old, unfortunately

Thinking now of the age difference is futile,because u've already been married.Sometimes,yes,age does affect the relationship,the ideal difference shld be plus or minus 3-4 yrs.You both have to make it a point to be open and honest in ur communication.To minimise the numbering u cant do anything,but u need to be more tolerant and understanding and accepting with the younger partner,without 'parenting' ur role.

As long as two adults find a common ground, relationships work. My BF is 20 years older (I'm 27) and I can't imagine my life without him.  We are on the same level in so many ways - maturity, goals, opinion, etc. Like any relationship, it comes down to a balance of give & take, acceptance, and respecting each other. I love him for so many reasons - he is genuine; he's not out to find the next party or club, stay out all night with friends or worry about how fast he can get his car to go. I believe people come into our lives for a reason, and we learn and grow from them. Being in love is the greatest feeling in the world and age shouldn't stop anyone from experienceing it.

Yes there are many women out there that would date a younger man.  Some older women would feel flattered that a younger man would find them attractive.  \n\nThe thing is if you want a mature woman you have to be a mature man.  Older women espically if they already have children and some that dont... Do Not Want A Child.  \n\nGo for it and Good Luck!!

just like its ok for a man to have a relationship with a 10 years younger woman and everybody accept it and society is fine with it, well, the same should stand for a man who likes a 10 years older woman..since you are over 18, we are cool..

I'm 38 and my husband is 28. If you communicate well and are truly in love with each other age is just a number. How much younger are we talking ? It can be a little difficult at times when younger girls around 23-25 flirt with my husband but I trust him completely. We dont really feel an age difference, probably because he's usually more mature about things than I am. As long as your happy together and dont care what people think.....Go For it!!!!!!!!!!!
