I'm turning 41 in a few days, and if I was interested in a woman in her 20's and she was interested in me, then more power to us. 11 years is nothing in the big scheme of things. Don't worry about what your friends say. Listen to your heart!

Not at all sweetie. I am 25 dating a 38 year old. We are 13 years apart and I adore him and he the same. We are very much in love and happy. But to be honest it was hard in the begining. I was unsure about the age difference, and I got alot of crap from people. And they didnt take me seriously. But he was always sure of it. He doesn't see and age thing. He sees love. And ya know the heart doesnt konw age the heart only knows love. My cousin is 21 almost 22 dating a 35 year old and they have been together for 2 years now and they are completly happy too. It's what makes you happy girl. I dont get any crap anymore and my friends and family love him and us together! It's great. Just give it some time and don't listen to them. If he makes you happy then thats all that matters. Good luck to you and him!!!

It depends on you guys. They call it weird because when you were 10, he was 21. Would you want your 10 year old girl date a 21 year old guy? You are legal now, but I wonder what interest you share. He may not be mature enough for you and you'll probably outgrow him. At 33, your interests should be a thing of the past for him. You'll understand that one when you are 33 and a 22 year old try to pick you up. If it is a sex thing, and I'm sure that is what you are being told by those who complain about your relationship, then you are sick and will be hurt.

No it would only be weird if he was in his 40s or 50s. If you're happy then that's awesome! I think that your friends tease you because friends always tease eachother. I tease my friends about their boyfriends too; as long as their boyfriends are good enough for them it's only teasing. As long as your friends think he is a great guy then the teasing is harmless. If they dont say anything nice about him, figure out why. People always look at couples. I do it, but it doesn't mean they are judging you or thinking you look weird together. They could be looking at your outfit or thinking that he's good looking or they think you're cute. Does he look like he's really old or something? 33 year olds aren't senior citizens. If it bothers you then maybe you need to figure out if the relationship is worth continuing. Don't use friends and other people as an excuse.

I think it's completely fine. I was 20 when I met my husband who was 28 at the time. We dated for 4 years before we got married. As far as I'm concerned if you click you click, no matter what the age difference is. It's actually scary how perfect we are for each other. Also, my sister is 30 and her husband is 40. she was only 21 when they met, and he had 2 kids already. They are the cutest couple I know! I hope things work out great for you!

I think that its fine. My husband is 7 years older than me. I am 22 and he is 29. Your boyfriend is just 4 years older than my husband, thats not much. We have been married for 6 yrs and the love grows stronger everyday. When we married I was 16 and he was 23 and we have managed to make it to the point we are now.

No not at all. I am a 44 year old woman who is dating a 29 year old man for over a year. It depends on the people concerned. I am a lot younger for my years and he is a lot older. We dont fit in our own age group. It really works and we love each other. Being realistic I cant imagine it will last forever. But who cant tell?

I would say that it is none of thier buisness. If you want to date someone that is 50 it is your decision. My husband and I are 8 years apart. I was 15 and he was 23 when we first met and started dating. Everyone looked at us funny.....but we have now been married for 11 years and have three beautiful kids together....and no....none of them were concieved out of wedlock. I think it depends on the people. Haven't we all been told our whole lives that women mature faster than men. You guys may be at the right maturity for eachother. I hope that you have as much seccess in your relationship as me and my husband have.

My parents have been married for over 30 years, they are 13 years apart, met when my mom was 20.
I think it is fine as long as your maturity levels are compatible and you share the same values and goals. If you want the same things out of the relationship and you are both on the same page about where it is going...then whats the problem?
As for the teasing friends, don't let them get to you.

No that's a good age spread. That's probably an ideal age spread. I was told this formula: Take half his age and add 7. That would be roughly 23 for you. At 22, you're in the ballpark. Enjoy your relationship.
