You are both adults. There is no problem.

I'm 23 years old and dated a guy who was 27. He was more immature than some guys I know at 23 and he had lots of relationship baggage. Thats what I notice about guys at that age. They have had more relationships and are more screwed up! But that was my experience and everyone is different. Just be careful on those two points.
I do think a 10 year gap is a little too much, cos you may not have much in common etc. but if you do, or you both are really into eachother it can work there are heaps of celebs doing it!

My b.f. and I are 10 yrs apart also, When I met him I was 19 and he was 29. We have been together for 3 years and he is the greatest person I have ever met! Age isn't a factor! Maybe he was just needed on this earth a little earlier than you were! If ya like him! DATE HIM! But think a while before you get married! Marriage is supposed to be a "lifelong" thing! Make sure he is for you if it gets that far! Enjoy each others company, if it goes any further than that, it's just icing on the cake! Take care!

You are an adult and can make your own decisions. Age doesn't make a difference unless you want it to. I am 23 and my bf is 32. Our relationship is built on our maturity levels and love for one another, not our ages. Our age difference doesn't get in the way bc we don't let it. Obviously, weird moments pop up. i.e.~He met his best friend when I was born. The trick is to laugh at it. All of the weirdness goes away when you make jokes of it. We have been together for a year and a half now. We have lived together successfully and are currently in the process of buying a house together. I chose him bc all of the men my age are still immature and don't know what they want. Most older men know what they want and aren't out to play games.
I hope this helps! Good luck.
P.S.~Don't listen to the hypocrites, follow your heart! It knows where to lead you.

OK I am 28 myself. USUALLY about 98% of the time guys my age try to get with girls that young is because of social immaturity. You see most dudes his age have houses, jobs and or are getting married, families etc. He is lacking motivation or not intrested in anything long term. Or he needs to feel important because his life is probably pathetic to people his age, but maybe impressive to an 18 year old.
I would look for guys your own age. I think this guy is a major red flag!
But there are a SMALL percentage of guys who are sincer. You need to ask yourself "why is he intrested in me" and more importantly "why am I intrested in him"?

i believe absolutely purely NO ...... not a difference,
i met a girl online before, my friend introduvced us, i was 16 at the time, ....... i accually met her on her birthday, i wont tell you what age, i liked her, the way she talked (i know she was typing but her vocabulary and the way she reacted to things i said) i really liked, i kept coming onto her, she said i was to young, a month after i met her i turned 17 and things grew a little, she sent me one of her paintings as a birthday present, she still told me i was to young, it would never work and people would think bad of us, but eventually 6 months in things became really close and she came to visit me in person, then 3 months later we visited again, first for 2 nights, then 3, for my 19th birthday she came again for 4 days, i am now 19 she is 33, and we are planning the next visit to be permanent, she tells me now she is glad she didn't drop it off completely in the beggining, and she is glad i pressed it, for she has never been this happy when she is with me, she has never slept as good as she did in my arms, and she has never felt as "alive" or as "real" in her words ........ and i can say the EXACT same
in other words, if you feel it will last go for it, many people will be skeptical, especially in the beginning, but the people that SHOULD matter most will stick by you ......... like i said, it started when i was 16 and i turned 19 less than a month ago, it has been over 2 years, and it has never been stronger

the popular anwser here is that age doesn't matter...which in some ways it doesn't. however u have other things to consider like experience...u r still young and have a lot to learn, while he has already been there done that. if u do decide that u want to start a relationship then just take it slow...don't rush to marriage...and who knows u may even be able to teach him a thing or two!

Please don't...... Its ok at this point of time. but after a year or two you realize that u have done something wrong.
One more thing is 'Thinking'. may be he tries to dominate you. Reason, he is elder and may b thinks that he knows more than you.
Also is this really LOVE or just infactuation/ lust (from both sides).
Think and take the right decision coz its ur life question.
My opinion, STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM. IT WILL LEAD U NOWHERE.
Take care n have a wonderful life.

You two are both adults. It doesn't hurt to date, but make sure he's not a jerk. He may view you as just another girl. If he's taking you seriously and things are working out well, then it doesn't hurt to try out a relationship

i dont think age really matters. My parents are also 10 years apart and have been married for 30 years. My sister and her husband are also 14 years apart and she is currently pregnant and has been married for 2 years. If you are mature and know who you are i dont think it will affect your relationship.
good luck! i hope this helps
