what are your thoughts on age gaps in a relationship specifically a 43 yr old and 23 yr old? do you think the relationship could last?

Yeah it could work, as long as you guys really want to be together. Your both adults and old enough to make up your own minds. Besides it said that women mature faster than men do so it could be a good fit. Just don't allow the haters to have an effect on your relationship( his friends who thinks he should be with someone his age or your friends who ask what are you doing with that old guy ). Keep them out of your relationship and you should be fine.

Well.. that's a good question.. If the spark is there, then it could last. But.. remember, when the 43 yr old is 83, the 23yr old would be 60.. scary..
Well hope it helped in some way

It COULD last, but I have personal experience here. I had a 14 year age difference with my ex-husband. We were together for over a decade, but now that I'm remarried to a guy who's nearly my same age, I appreciate that we have many more shared experiences. Over the long haul, it's ideal to be close in age. Take my word for it.

Dating a guy 2 to 6 years older than you is not a good idea! Studies show, these guys are more likely to pressure you for sex! Girls who date older guys are much more likely—nearly 4 times more likely—to wind up pregnant. Other studies show that about two-thirds of babies born to teenage girls nationwide are fathered by adult men ages 20 or older.

i'm 11 years older than my bf. we've been mutually virtually 2 years. that is weird and wonderful now and again, even as i'm "reminded" of the age enormous difference, his mom had a celebration for me and placed a three and 9 candles on my cake, i'd have kept away from that! Or after we play Scene It or another pop lifestyle interest with our friends, of route we continually win besides the undeniable fact that it makes me experience "previous". and that i need to give up myself now and again from telling him what he could do (avert mistakes I made at his age) yet our emotional and psychological age are similar, we've plenty in difficulty-loose, we've both had some crappy relationships, so we've observe of and trust for one yet another. it extremely works for us. now and again i ask your self for the way lengthy yet i extremely attempt to concentration on the "now" and purely be at liberty. It extremely facilitates to have the friends and kinfolk settle for the courting, yet i imagine that permits ANY courting.

If you want a good time, a good screw and a few financial benefits, yes, go ahead. But if you want a lasting relationship, then you better keep looking.

Yeah, but if the girl is older, the guy should probably be made aware that he might not have children.
