Been seeing a man (11 years older than me), he has never been married, but has a daughter (aged 8). I dont have much experience with kids. I am only 26 and get on well with the guy, but feel a bit unsure if this could work. Anyone with some advice?

Difficult to say...
I mean, how is the relationship? good? OK-ish?
do you get a long with the child?
how long have you been together?
do you see a future?
I mean, if there's nothing seriously wrong and you
get along fine I would stay and enjoy it till it goes
either up or down the hill...
Know what I mean?!

Age difference should not matter. Liking is the main thing. As far his daughter, try and see if she can make good friends with you and accept you as her mother. This may take some time and effort by both you and the man.

Well, if you get on well with him, that's good. But, do you love him? - That's necessary for a relationship to work. I don't see the age thing as a problem. So, it must be the kid. I suggest you just keep on seeing him - not too seriously, until you know your feelings a little better. Try to interact with his child. Just feel things out for now.

It sounds like you dont really accept the child which is not going to work because he is a package deal; which means with him comes his child. If you cant get over that then deep down you didnt want to be in a relationship with a man that has a child.

Me and my husband are 11 years apart also, I was unsure at first but I had no real reason to doubt our relationship, so we got married and are very happy, good luck.

"When in doubt, don't". Sounds like you're not ready to take on a family and I don't blame you. Cool it for a while,but be honest with the guy. I think later on down the line the 11yrs. will make a huge difference in your relationship. godloveya.

I think that you should just give it some more time to see how it goes. If you get along well, don't let anything hold you back from being with this man.

nicely if he did no longer nicely known the textual content via responding that he enjoyed you to then you definitely ought to take that as a splash that he in simple terms needs to be buddies with advantages. If i grew to become into you i could set him down and tell him head to head so as that away he could be pressured to respond and additionally you would be attentive to the place you stand and if he does not want a relationship then it extremely is advisable to diminish out the intercourse and in simple terms be buddies without advantages.

Life is full of uncertainty. You will never know how something is until you try it out, don't be a quitter. Things are going well with you and him, just roll with that, and let things fall where they may. How will you ever learn, if you never try?
Sit back, relax and let life teach you.

just take it one day at a time. if there are other issues besides the kid then you would have to decide whether you really want to be with this guy or not. take care
