I am an attractive 43 year old woman being heavily pursued by a 26 year old man. And it is not over money because we both have this. Also, he is white and I am black. I find him attractive but because of the age difference, not so much race, I feel that I shouldn't. Even though I really want to.

and the problem is........what?
advice: go out with him
rationale: it is challenging enough to find people in this world to become close to, to find people that you allow into your world and feel safe with; if you get along and are attracted to - don't judge the packaging that has been sent - enjoy the gift

Don't care about the race but I could never date someone who is that much younger than me (granted, he would have to be 2 yrs old because I am 22, but even if I were older I wouldn't). Have you ever seen the movie "Prime" with Uma Thurman? I think they pretty much got it. I mean, how much can you have in common with a 26 yr old? You are at different points in your life now, do you have the same goals he has? Do you want the same things out of life. Sure, maybe it's flattering to think you're wanted by a 26 yr old, but he would have to be really mature or you really immature for this to work in my opinion. But that's just me. Who knows, maybe you're perfect for each other. I also know that I'm young and things are different when you are younger, even a five year age difference seems extreme at 22. But The same is true when you are 26. So why does he need someone so much older? Just be careful you don't end up being his mommy. Good luck.

Depends on how much you have in common. Even people who are opposite of each other, can make a go of the relationship. I would start out slowly, then take it from there.Love and attraction have no age limits.

It is called Tadpoling, but no, there is nothing wrong with it. As the shortage of men becomes acute, and with the higher death rate of men once they past 40, this is becoming normal.
