Question

i'm mature for my age and we click great.
i don't live at home but i need to introduce him to my parents.
what will they think?

Answer 1

You are an adult supporting yourself, it doesnt matter what they think. If you respect them it doesnt hurt to listen to their opinion however, but you still make your own choices in life.

Answer 2

Look back into your relationship, the good and bad, and see how well you think you to will work with eachother. You feel that you are mature and know what you want and what you're doing then his age shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of very happy couple that have more than a few years between the two of them. If anything, look on the bright side....you're younger and know some of the newer more hip things that you can bring to the table. He's older, more experienced and can bring stuff to the table you don't know about. Relationships are all about teaching eachother and being happy. Think about it, if the two of you know everything alike....HOW BORING IS THAT!!!!!!!!!! As for the parents, they should know that you are very capable of making the right decision with everything you do. They should be happy for you as long as you're happy. You would be surprised how many parents are very understanding, don't doubt them. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I was in a similar position at one time. Living at home, dating a man 8 years older. If your parents see that he makes you happy and he acts politely and gentlemen like around them, it shouldnt be an issue. I have also been in the reverse position, 25 year old woman dating an 18 year old college guy and met his parents. As long as your "other" treats you and your family with respect and they see that your "other" makes you a happier and better person, such a minor age gap will not matter.

Answer 4

A seven year gap is not bad, but parents are at times hard to win over, try not to look so deep in love with him on the first meeting. Go slow. And go luck.

Answer 5

The age difference doesn't sound to bad, my husband is 33 , i am 22 and we get on well. If u to get on that's all that matters. I think u should tell your parents before hand his age, if he makes you happy your parents will see past his age

Answer 6

They will think their baby is not mature as she pretends to be. A mere seven years difference is not a big deal but when you are only 18 it's a different story.

Answer 7

i'm having the kind of same problem only i'm 20 and he's 28. still haven't told my parents but i actually think they wont be upset because he's so much more mature than guys my age and he doesn't treat me bad, we both get and give so much to each other. plus i think my parents will see him as more serious about our relationship because he's older and has different goals than most guys my age.

well good luck.

Answer 8

of course your parents will think that you are too young to date a guy that old, but age does not matter in your case. as long as the two of you love one another, that is really all that counts in this case. also that if the two of you click and get along really well, that is all that really matters.

Answer 9

in the end theyll only care that your happy. and 7 years isnt a big age difference. im 19 and im engaged to a 36 year old. thats a big age difference.

Answer 10

You'll never know ... until you introduce them.

Consquently, I am mid age. I have always listened to my parents. Sometimes I heed their advice, sometimes I don't. They respect my decisions.

It's your choice. Life is all about making choices....good and bad....and taking the responsibility for it..
