You don't really think thats too much of an age difference?? I think it's a little too much for her...

She does seem to really be in love with him and he seems to be in love with her... I just was worried about the age, and didn't know what to tell her exactly... she is a little worried herself, but me being her best friend, i didnt want to make a bad decision.Thanks, keep em coming!!

21 to 31 isn't to bad. If he was like, 40 something, then yeah that would be kind of creepy. But 32 isn't that bad, and if they're in love then its too late. Once love in really involved, then its a done deal. Besides, older guys know what to do much better, in all aspects of having a relationship.

I think the real question should be whether or not they treat each other with respect and truly love one another? If so, there should be any problem with it. My grandparents were 33 and 21 when they got married. They had a long and lasting relationship together and were married for 68 years before my grandfather passed away at 99 and 1/2 years old. When he died, my grandmother was at his side just as she had been their entire married life. So, it can work for people of different ages if they really love and respect one another.

My rule as a guy is the minimum age you can go out with is 1/2 your age + 5 years.
(32/2) + 5 = 21 ... right on target. So I say. A OK!!

Every Situation is different... It depends largely on the Two People involved... If he's a good person, and truly has feelings for her, than it could be a good thing...
Sometimes those situations work for a short time, sometimes for a long time...
But the most important thing is, is this a good person... Does she feel safe with him... Is he trying to control her...
Age is a strange thing... Like I said, sometimes it's a great thing, that just doesn't last too long...
And sometimes it's a great thing, that lasts for a very long time...

Hi,,,,look,,, age seems so important here in America,,,, I am 50 and my fiance is 22 and we have a great relationship,, and no I am not crazy ....
People here seem to believe that only young people should date people their own age,,, its pretty stupid......
Older men are more mature than the young boys and you will have a lot better chance of making the marriage work ,, instead of divorcing...
good luck

What could be so wrong with her having this relationship? Besides many of the men her own age are still kids. just odler kids. At 31 this guy is still engergetic and fun, still serious about his life (I hope). But then again, he is going after a 21 yr old. lol.. oh well..

as long as the guy is matured, they say that guys maturity is 4 years young than his really his age. As long also if the guy is not possessive on her, not a good idea. 21 still young, go out and have some fun enjoy your younger years, this guy might not let you go to the nightclub especially with friends. goodluck!

well, she is legal and an adult. she is old enough to decide on her own. if she feels that it is worth pursuing then i say go for it. you never know what might happen.
there was a 16 year differnece between my mother and step father, but they were 33 and 49 when they met. they have been happily married now for 21 years.

if he is really in love with her then i do not know why not...i do not think age really matters very much if they love each other....and if she is as mature and ready to settle down with a man that is 32...but it is good to have someone love you and he probably will be more mature and treat her better than guys her own age....

age shouldnt matter. Im 23 and with a 35yr old man, and weve been together for 3 years. If she likes him then what's the issue?
