I have been in that situation twice. One was 16 years older and the other 10 years older. As long as they were in their late 30's early 40's everything was cool but when they hit mid 40's then they really got paranoid about their age and how they couldn't compete with girls my age. I always tried to reassure them that in my eyes they would always be the same age as me but it did little to curb it. So be mindful that as she gets older you may have deal with that. Of course everyone is different and she may not be that way...

Of course it's okay! All that matters is how the two of you feel for each other and how committed you are to working to make the relationship work. I'm glad you're happy - good luck!

Are you kidding? My best friend married a woman 10 years older than him and he's never regretted a day, 16 years so far.

There are too many variables that you did not tell in order to make a decision. But, I would say that 12 years is too much of an age gap.

As long as the both of y'll are legal I dont see anything wrong with it. I have been dated several men that were younger than me. If the two of y'll care about each other then who cares what other people think.

all that matters is that you two are good to each other, care for one another, and like each other. I wouldn't really care what other people said, go for it. Don't let others stop u.

Twelve years represents one generation apart. Yes, it is ok to date someone older than you.
