Well, it depends how old you are...if you are 14 and he's 19 I would say no way.  But if you are of legal age then what's stopping you?  It's a little hard if he likes to go to bars and hang out and you can't get in but it can work.  I was 20 when I started dating my husband who was 26.  At first we refused to pursue the relationship because of the age difference but soon we realized it was inevitable...we were destined for one another.\n\nGood luck!

don't feel guilty just because your dating someone doesn't mean you can't like other people your probably like 18 years old trust me the guy your with now isn't going to be the guy your with in 5 years, so look around you may end up finding the guy you're truly meant to be with

No, not many guys do. I can see that you like this guy too but you want to give yourself some time and space. I think you should tell him about it but in a softer way and see how he responds to it. I believe he should understand. But if he doesn’t, then forget it he’s not worth it.

i would  suggest getting toget to know him better. This sounds like just a crush to me you are kind of young .

It sounds like he's confused, too.  Give yourselves some time before comitting to an exclusive relationship.  Stay friends for awhile and tell him you think you like him, too but want to keep things at a just friends level for awhile.  He'll respect your wishes and it gives your relationship time to progress as it will, naturally.

Give him a chance. 2 years is not a big difference at all, and as time goes by you will decide if he is right for you or not. It sounds like you like him, as well. In a couple years you do not want to be wondering "what if I said yes to that guy." He seems to want to take it slow and that is definately a good thing and a sign that he really takes your wishes and wellbeing into heart. Guys like that are not common at all.

what is his personality like? is he a player? your friends seem to think so. there's the possibility he will do that, even though you've been friends for five years. \n\nbut, he can only take advantage of you if you allow him to! just refuse to go that far with him. you have the power to control that. find the strength and be strong. get to know each other all over again intellectually from a "relationship" point of view.\n\ni have found that friends' opinions are usually right. they have a more objective view about the situation than the two people involved. plus, your friends are only trying to look out for you because they love you, and don't want to see you get hurt. however, in the end it is your decision.

try to examine yourself.If you are really falling for this guy and yet you know that already he has a 6 years steady girlfriend, well, wake up to the real world girl!He can't be yours for he has another. Talk to him about your present situation and tell him that your confuse about your situation. Ask him what he really feels for you because you might be confused on love and friendship he is offering to you. Pray to God for guidance and understanding.There is still so many guys outthere, single and much appropriate for your love and sincerity. A guy you can call your OWN.

you're both consenting adults, and as long as you're both hot for each other, go for it! and if other people don't like it, too bad, you gotta live your life for you. \nand if this is from someone who is a friend or family member of either the 50 year old woman, or the 25 year old guy, that is the person they chose to be with, leave them alone. it might be just a fling, or it may be a deep meaningful relationship, either way only time will tell, and if they have found a happiness with each other, no matter how long that time period may be, let them be happy. happiness is a rare thing these days.\ngood luck to you

No. The only thing I have to say to this is you might be passing up some real gems by not dating anyone who isn't at least 5 years older than you. Don't be completely oblivious to them. In fact, I usually look for guys who are a few years older than me as well but I have recently met a fantastic guy who is actually 2 years younger than me! I never thought that would happen!

i would say 'see ya later' and go on with my life. i know it must be hard since you have liked him since the 5th grade but if he doesn't want a girlfriend at this moment, don't wait for something that may never come.\n\njust go on with your life and don't be afraid to meet other guys. you never know, you might meet someone who wants to be with you?

Maybe you should try to get to know him better, talk to him. If it is already at the point which you say it is, then it looks like he likes you. But just to be sure, you should talk to this person, for it is best to know the truth before anything else.

If you are both adults, both not committed to anyone and you like each other age shouldnt matter. Ask him out.

You should find someone else that he's been friends with for a while, then build that person up so that he won't like the old person anymore. I have had so many crushes in my lifetime, and that's what I do, sure... it takes a while, but it's worth it in the end.
