Try explaining to him that you are busy sometimes, that doesn't mean that you aren't into him it just means that you don't have the time to give him the attention that you think he deserves.  He might be happy with that and it will keep your relationship honest.

If you do he is a lucky man.  Age isn't a huge factor in every relationship.  The question is really is this the right guy and the right relationship for you?  A age difference like this will always present some problems but nothing that you can't deal with or predict if your honest with yourselves.  Think it through and don't worry about what others think, do what is right for you.

Hey if you guys have chemistry, then trust me it will work, i wont say age is just a number, but the age difference doesnt really matter!

I am in the same boat. There is this guy who I am totally falling for, but we are taking things slow...as in just friends for now...slow. We talk, we laugh, we just have fun, we have so much in common, including our birthdays...LOL. I would take it as a definite sign that you are head over heels in love and that you just want to spend every waking moment with that person. Don't worry, you're not alone, I know exactly how you feel right now.

u should keep Ur personal life away from Ur professional life. don't mix them up & as u said that he is 42 and married then u should not think that way.\nhe is secured in his life & if u have a relation with him in future with his consent even then ur relation as well as ur future will always be insecured.\nthe right way is to forget him & wait for the right person to approach u.

I'm 42, going on 43. I can honestly tell you, it could take \nany thing from 4 months to 1 year. It's possible the guy is shy or feels too busy, depending on time and location you see him. Try to get to him by expressing yourself to him, and or by expressing your self to someone close to him (perhaps his mother?).

go for it...just realise that u could be talking to a 40 year old pretending to be 20.unless u already know them. but ya go for it!

fact is that you and him cannot see each other too often... and both of you are still very young.. I think each of you should live your life, but always do keep in touch. then, see what happen with your life in the next few years after you both graduate. you will never know what will happen, things are happening fast at your age. not to be wasted. either of you are planning to make serious commitment soon anyway right?

There's nothing wrong with it, especially if your feelings are genuine, but keep in mind that you could get hurt pretty bad given you start up a relationship. He could use you, or date you for a while but then flat out tell you that he's uncomfortable. Six years is not that big of a difference, but even age differences like that could result in some professional frowning-down on his part (like if he has a big corporate job and they find out he's seeing someone younger). But like I said, six years isn't that MUCh of a difference to be worried about. I knew someone who was about 19 or 20 and she dated a 36 year old guy, but they broke up because of the age difference.\n\nI just read your edit...I have to tell you that twenty is a whole different world from fourteen. So like I said, be careful!

Well...I suppose it's relative to how mature he is.  \n\nWomen mature faster than men so I'm not sure it's wise to date a younger man. \n\nIf you were 40's I would say there's not a huge gap, but early 20's people are still figuring out life and who they are. \n\nI don't think there's anything 'wrong' with it as long as he's legal. I just don't think it's wise...(I make these remarks based on the facts as I'm given them).\n\nIf you must, date him years and years before you ever marry.

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.

There isn't any age limit for friendship. If you believe this person is truely a great person and he doesn't mind being your friend either, then there's nothing stopping you. Just be aware that some of the activities he wants to do might bore you or vice versa. Everything should work out alright, though.

I find that most people in our age group are looking for mister goodlooking, I am over 40 and I met the most wonderful man, without really expecting it at 39, at first he was a friend, then it became more, He was a neighbor and we took our time.\n Physically, he was someone I thought I would never consider\nbut after I took the the time to look at his heart, I realized I,d never been loved, or felt love, so much.\n   My friends that are looking for the goodlooking guy, thats going to sweep them off thier feet, are still single.\n  take the time to notice the positive attitudes and the interest in you and you'll know when that person is right for you.

Age is nothing but a number bestowed upon us at our birth. There's nothing wrong with a man in his 30's falling in love with someone whom may be a little older than him. Love works in mysterious ways. Why try to figure out the mystery of it when we can just sit back and enjoy it when it happens.

it's because of the way we treat you!  You want someone a bit more mature then here we are.  You are at the perfect age when a guy in his mid 30's still feels young when he is with someone at your age

If age is the factor to you, it shouldnt matter being a year! I am 6 years older than my hubby and we have been together for almost 10 years. Its what you make of it and how you do things. But, just because hes a first love doesnt mean its meant to be. There has to be more there than that to make it work. You need to look more into the long term stuff if thats what you want!
