I have a girl 20 years younger than me that really likes me. She keeps flirting with me and calling me and hanging up when I answer. I like her but am worried she might think I am a creep for asking her out. We get along real well and have a lot in common. She is very pretty and loves sports. I have been told she really likes me and thinks I am great but would not weant to hurt her or make her think I am a jerk for asking her out being 20 years older than her. I have not done anything to make her think I am interested other than smile and talk to her.

It really depends on just how young she is. Some women are able to handle an older man no problem. If she is forty five and you are sixty five, then ok. If she is nineteen and you are thirty nine, then I would think twice. You will more than likely have many differences than similarities. Go with your gut feeling though, if she is interested and so are you go for it, what is the harm in trying.

Embarrassed? Have you seen the news these days? There's people dating people wit like 15-20 year old age difference. You only have a three year age difference. Love should have no age limit or boundaries. I'm in love with a man that is 7 years older than me. It's always good to have someone (preferably the guy) a little older than the other. So don't feel embarrassed, feel proud :)

If she is past 23 I'd say it wouldn't hurt. I like men. And guys don't usually turn into men until they hit mid 30's. She might be mature for her age but the human brain doesn't stop developing until early twenties. How old is she?
If you're a decent man, go with your gut. If you think it feels a bit wrong it probably is, if not and she's old enough (past 23) she is big enough to make her own decision.
Best of luck.

Unless you're in your 40s and 60s, or older, it probably is too much of an age gap. In fact, it's enough to be a generation gap!
Teens with 30-somethings or even 20 somethings with 40-somethings is just too much. I know in my 30's, I can't imagine dating someone in their 50's - I'm not even a parent yet, and they're old enough to be grandparents.

erm. true love has no age limits
but 20 years is too much. if you are sure she'll love you forever and you will do too... then go for it.
but think it this way.
if she's 20yrs, you're 40. if she's 30, you are 50. while you are turning into an old man, she is still a middle-aged woman who loves fun and romance. can you still do it? even if you could.. think further.
if she's 40, you are already a old man at 60 years old!!!
hope you think it through.

really it depends on how old u are and how old she is,,, like if u are 60 and she is 40,,, then that is ok she is a woman then and she has enough experience in life to actually know what she want,,, how ever if she is 19 and you are 39 she hasent reached that maturity in her life yet ,,, but good luck and i hope the two of u are happy if u do date

as long as she is over 18
I dated someone for 10 years, she was 20 yrs younger than me, it will work if you both feel the same, just as with any relationship. just keep in mind that she must realize that you know much more than her about almost everything, and she should also know that you will not understand her sometimes, wait sounds like any other relationship, its ok do it...

I have never dated guys my own age, always older.
I would have to say as long as she is legal, why not.
I never found guys my age to be where I was mentally.
Grew up quickly, not a big party girl, wanted someone who was settled, and didn't live at home with Mommy.
oh, I just re read your question, she sounds young....... hanging up on you in all.
jail time isn't worth your ego.

You're old enough to be her father...and her childish call/hangup behavior would normally not be appealing to a middle aged adult.
What's the appeal here? Mid life crisis?

you are old enough to be her parent. I think its too big of an age gap to be very serious.
