I'm a 22 year old grl who has been talking to a 37 year old man for a couple of weeks now. He seems really nice, sweet, smart he's just cool and I'm beginning to like him. But ..i cant deny that his age intimidates me. I don't know whether to keep talking to him...or stop talking to him. I don't know if should date him, and wait to see what happens? I dont know what to do, What should i do?

That's what dating is for... so you can find out if you have enough in common to start a long term relationship. If you like him, and he likes you, then by all means... DATE. You're not signing any contracts yet.

If you were a 37 year old woman who was interested in a 22 year old man,you'd be cool like Demi Moore.But if your a man over thirty that even looks at a woman under 25,hes either a rapist,a pedophile or a pervert or even all of the above.This double standard crap is ruining lives of single men just looking for affection and companionship.And how come if the man is rich,its not even a question.Go on a date and screw what people say.

Is he married? Does he have children, an ex-wife a man at that age usually has baggage and a lady of your age deserves to not have to go through any of that, you need someone to grow together, what do you see in him? He could be your father. He probably has a child your age. Are you missing a father figure in your life? I just can't imagine someone in their early twenties taking up with someone almost over the hill. perhaps if you were in your thirties and had lived a little and then the age difference wuould not matter as much, I just feel like he is taking advantage of you, you have your life ahead of you and he....well...is enjoying a young ladies attention obviously. He is probably flattered that someone of your age finds him interesting enough, I personally feel as though it is rape even though you are legal, he is too old and you are too young.

If you have doubts... I say listen to your gut feelings. At 22 years of age, you are in a completely different stage in your life than he is. Things could work out, but you may encounter more obstacles than if you had stuck to someone a little closer to your own age. It can seem exciting in the beginning, but as you get to know the person, the life experience difference can drive a wedge between you. And often times, the man can turn into a 'daddy' figure... rather than the lover you first imagined. It can work, I have dated men with much larger age differences (one was 30 years my senior), long term relationships (2+ years) they didn't end because of the age difference, but I now am 31 and dating someone just 9 years older than me and it is much more refreshing, and we can relate to eachother much better because we grew up generally in the same decade!! (ha ha!) When you hit your thirties you will feel completely different about everything in your life... he is already at that stage in his life... will you still want him when you get there? Good luck!!

Well every man is different . When I was 26 I dated a man 11 years older than me . He was very nice , caring , loving and many other good things . The only problem was ....he treat me like I was his daughter instead of his lady . Good luck .

yes there is nothing wrong with dating some one that is older than you. age has nothing to do with it, its what is going on in side of that person , in todays world it is hard to find some one that you can really be with and if you find that person than you are blessed, life is short and is a gift live it every day as if it is the last, and live it well,

It sounds like you have only been talking to him. I say meet him. See if there is any chemistry there. If you are meeting him for the first time, be safe.

What is it about him that intimidates you? Is it just age or do you have a gut feeling that is telling you that maybe this dude isn't right or you?
