The best advice I can give you is, be prepared to have a good time, be treated with respect, and don't worry about people looking.....they're just jealous!

I am 24 and dated a 40 year old....it all just depends. We had a great relationship for a while until it turned out that I wanted more than he did. I say be careful.......but if you guys can get past the age difference...then go for it.

Don't go very deep into that.There will be a moment in ur life when you get borried,ur full of life an d energy - and ur man is simply tired and just wants to stay in.Age is not just a number-is a significant number that is reflected in our appearance and interior.I dated a man -16 yrs older than me.It took me 6 years to understand age is very v v v v important.It was a good experience for me, but never turned into something serios.
YOu can go for it, but there is a but.....think about....

Be careful and take it slow, my best friend is 21 her boyfriend is 35 and they ended up splitting up simply because they were at different places emotionally. There really isn't anything wrong with it, you just have to take it slow. What he wants and what you want could be different things, and people have different needs, desires, and issues at different ages. He may relate to you but you won't always be able to understand what he is feeling. Keep communication open, talk about what matters, family, marriage, the future. See if your on the same page before you get head over heals.

If you love each other or if it can turn into love then don't worry so much about what other people think. It will only keep you two apart.
Take into consideration that older men are more settled and ready for a commited relationship than younger men.

So what, older the better. If you love him, or if he makes you feel great? Don't listen to anyone but yourself. My husband is 7 years older than me. My aunts husband is 11 years older than her, and they have been married for 20 years. Love is all that counts.

My dear, love count and matters, age is nothing but a number, your happiness is everything, your joy is as well your strength. Matured men take of ladies than young guys. So feel free

That is ok, I was 19 yrs old and my man was 34yrs old, believe me he can be good with you in teaching you the right way to live , house, work, car etc. or He can be a player with young hearts, it can be one of these two.

My sister has the same thing going. All I can say to u and her is. Be treated right or end it. We sometimes find love in the stranges places, packages and people.
