I am 47 and my boyfriend 65, do you think that is too much of an age difference?

If you have the same interests and physical fitness levels it might work.  Just know that statistically you're going to be left alone because his life span will be considerably shorter than yours.

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.

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.

honey, if you're married then the age difference should be the least of your worries.

If you are both mature and feel that the age makes no difference in the relationship (and you are both of legal age) there is no reason such a relationship wouldn't work.\n\nI know quite a few couples with that age difference or more and it works for them.

Age is just a number. If everything is right then I would not worry about it. My husband is 7 years younger than myself and I act a lot younger than him...lol

Yes...How much younger is up to you and what you feel comfortable with.  Just be honest with yourself about what issues the age difference may create and if your willing to deal with them.  It is different for each person and each relationship.  Explore it and if you find it isn't right then end it and at least you will have learned something.

There is a 15 year difference between my fiance and I. I dont think age really matters if you can get along and everything is copacetic go for it.

I think that the older we get, the smaller the age gap becomes.  Ex.  There are 8 years difference between you now.  At your age, that may seem like a lot, but when you are 30 and the other is 37, that doesn't seem so bad.  Back to an actual answer:  Do YOU think the gap is too big?  I agree that things will be different when you are 18, but if you are truely interested in the other as a person, then I think the age gap is dismissable. But that's just one person's opinion.

The age difference would not bother me.  I think that age is often over rated.  My fiance is 11 years older than me.

I'm 20 and my fiance is 21.. weird... same ages.. we've been together for 3 years and engaged 1.. we will have been engaged for 2 and together 4 when we get married next September. I don't think age is an issue.. you have to do whats right for you when you're ready, you can't put a time frame on love  :) if you and your boyfriend want to be engaged 20 years and have a 10 year honeymoon, by all means.. do it ... do whatever makes you happy.. life is too short to worry about what other people think =)  good luck

It depends on the age difference and your maturity level. If you can handle whatever may come along with being involved with an older man and the baggage then do what makes you  happy.

Age isn't a barrier to love.  I would guess that a lot of the 'eeew' comments are  made by those who are in your age group.  I'm older than your boyfriend, and I can tell you that however old he is physically, he probably doesn't feel that old mentally.  I still feel about 34 but I'm in my fifties! (And I don't look that old, either!)\n\nHowever, you must be practical.  When you are 42 he will be 63.  When you are 63 he will be 84, and he may well be very elderly at that stage while you still have the energy to go dancing.  If the thought of caring for him at that stage doesn't put you off, then keep going, and disregard the funny looks and comments!
