when i was 21 i dated a guy who was 43. it was nice and ironically we did have lots in common as far as interests and goals in life.\nwe had alot to talk about so it's not like it was all physical. he was there when i was sad to rub my back and tell me i'd be alright and vise versa. so like everyone else has been saying. as long as you are of legal age you should be fine. as long as you guys actually like eachother, enjoy eachothers company and have much in common then there is nothing wrong at all. that doesnt mean your a gold digger or a player it just means you've found a refined man instead of a childish boy. ;)

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.

Be honest with him about your age.I think he's too old for you - a four year age gap is a lot at your age as you are both likely to have different interests and intentions.Find a guy whose 13 or 14

The numbers of years difference would not be so bad if you were 33 and he was 48. At 18 you are far too young to be involved with a man that age.... He's lived and you haven't. You have dreams and he should already achieving his... Too many differences to over come. yeah he might treat you very well...but you will come to resent him eventualy and angry for having wasted your time.

Well, I'm 26 and I have a crush on my professor 60! If it's bad for your, then it must be too bad for me, isn't it? :) Sometimes we can not explain why we are attracted by someone. Sometimes I thought that I'm crazy to fall in love with such an old man who worths to be my grandpa! But, i don't know. I can not stop. I do not know it's the right love or not but cannt keep my eyes off him. What I am trying to do now is to be close with him and find out whether we have something in common or not. Is there really a happy "future"? It may be just a first impression! There must be a lot of difference existing that require us to stand back and think! Calm down and take your time. I'm falling in love but still keep myself concious enough to identify the standard moral.\nAnyway, your case can be acceptable. The age gap is not that big.

You say it is someone you think you are going to have sex with and not someone that you love. Relationships with age differences can work, but they are more difficult to make work and require a loving relationship. Since you didn't mention love, I don't think he is too old, I think you are too young.

As long as you don't act like an old fuddy duddy and have similar interests, why not.  I've been known to date older men and we got along fine.  As long as both of you know what is expected of each other then it should work out.

age is nothing but a number, only way its not ok is if it really bothers one of you two, no one else matters, i'm a 26yr old guy dating a 36 yr old woman and there is nothting wrong with it, nor is it wrong to be 26 dating a 19 year old

Its not at all about the age. Its all about compatiability. You guys should be on the same wavelength and you should have trust. being able to communicate properly is also one of the major criteria.\nAge difference does not matter.

If you're happy now, then be contented with what you have. You chose to marry him despite his age and you've lasted that long together.\n\nIt is dangerous to entertain such a question...

No i think that is perfectly fine!!! Well i would think that when me and my better half got together i was 20 and he was 29, 3 years later and we have a awsome strong relationship, i was ready for something serious to plant my feet into and so was he, we had alot of things in common, i mean yes there are times when i think wow hes really been around alot more then i have and i can feel a little bit intimidated, but in the long run im thankfull he has those experiances to help guide our steps, I think he has come to believe that im never going to be perfect, even though i really try to do everything well, im not completely at his level on thinking, he has more life lessons to reflect on, but i dont think its a problem when we both discuss everything and keep the lines of communication open, just like any other relationship, my best friend is in the same boat, her husband is 10 years older then her and oddly enough shes the more responcible one, i dont see why any one would think its wrong, now if you were 25 and she was 15 there might be a huge responce to you sick mo fo lol but i dont think there is anything wrong with you liking her, ask her out, she might be into older guys, and with good reason, guys that are 20-24 are enough to make you want to puke, they only want one thing, they havnt figured out yet theres more to life then a nice set of boobs lol they dont know how to deal with money worth a crap, they only look out for themselfs, where older guys have alot more figured out, theres so many more perks to dating a older guy i could go on forever, more or less your more established at 30... id say go for it :) you have nothing to lose

age should never be a problem in a relationship. if you really love the person, then their age shouldnt matter to you or anyone else. my friend's parents have a 20 year age difference and they're perfectly happy. just be happy and dont care about what other people say

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.

Age is not important in a relationship as long as the people are adults.  I have alwys preferred older men.  The man I have been with for the past four years is more than 30 years older than me.  Of course you get the odd stares sometimes but when you love someone it doesn't bother you.  I say wait it out and see what happens, follow your heart.

AGE DOES NOT MATTER AS LONG AS YOUR IN LOVE...I HAVE DATED GUYS AS OLD AS 12 YEARS OLDER AND AS YOUNG AS 3 YEARS YOUNGER.

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 #.
