At 22, age shouldn't be a factor. You're old enough to know the difference between your daddy and your lover. If he's nice and he stays nice, great. Just watch out for those mid-life crises you hear so much about. Has he been married before? How does he get along with his ex? What about kids? Is he interested in you or just screwing you? Guys this age can have alot of issues. But then again, some of them are just coming into their own at that age. And I hear that the only men who enjoy sex more than those in their 20's are those in their 50's! Good luck!

Throw on the brakes. I'm telling you this as a favor. 98% of men who are twice your age and show an interest in you are only after sex.
It's true, there is still that small percentage who could actually give you a wonderful life, but why risk it?
Look at it like this...what do you have to lose by walking away? The answer is: Nothing that a younger man cannot give you.
What do you have to lose by diving into it?
The answer is: Pride, another mark on your "I've had sex with X guys" card, and all that wasted time figuring out that you were used as a trophey for an old pervert.

I have dated someone that much older than I before. In fact she was even older than your friend...
It turned out she just had the hots for me, since I was a very young 18 and she was almost 50...
It was amazing for about 6 weeks...but oh what a wonderful 6 weeks...
The memories were grand and I cherish them even still, almost 20 years later...so go for it...just remember not if he is married and be careful, take precautions from STDs, Hiv and the like...
Good luck...

Why not? If he really is serious about you, then it would it would be unfair if you would only play with him. Age in love (for me) really does not count as long as you are not into minors. lol. Older men are mature, ready to settle down and is done with all their promiscuous days. I prefer older men in their 40's. Weird, but true. Just remember to select a man who stands for what he believes in. In a man with good principles, you can never go wrong.
Funny Tip: Ask him to marry you. If he says yes, then he's dead serious. :-)

Why does everyone have this issue with age!! its not like you are 15 and he is 105!!!
If you are both able boddied (or not whatever) and make each other happy who cares how old you are, go for it girl!
MY grandmother was 17 when she met my grandfather and he was 35 they were happily married untill he died about 20 years ago!

i'm going to be honest. it wouldve been alright if you hadnt thought of it in terms of parents and such. now it'll always be on the back of your mind. also, you'll need to know that you'll be dating the guy who probably won "most likely to date someone born after graduation" in high school.
however, if you feel both of those are non-issues, do what you consider the safest and best option.

Sometimes it works out...but sometimes it doesnt....But I suggest that you go out with ppl your age and try and be around them...I'm sure you will find someone who will intrest you....Usually its risky going into a relationship like that...but if you are willing to take all that will come along with it...then go ahead with it...
