Answer 1

yes date her,,,age dont mean any thing,,,youboth seem to get on well

Answer 2

I dated a woman in her 40s when I was in my 30s. No big deal. If she's hot and you get along with her, what's the problem? You're both old enough to drink. Go have a good time. What do you think is going to happen if you date her? The world will shift on its axis, throwing the seasons out of whack? Geez, freakin relax. It's just a woman and a date. If you're worried about what someone else will think, then stay in the house and never come out because people will always comment on anything you do. If I find an older woman hot and she agrees to date me, I'd going for it. Hot is hot!

Although I do see one problem and it has nothing do do with age. You both work in the same office??? Bad move, my friend. You should always refrain from "shytting where you live". it can create an uncomfortable situation if anyone finds out and all the gossip begins. And if you do break up, then there's that uncomfortable feeling of having to see that person every day. That's a bigger problem than the silly age thing. Trust me, I know... been there, done that

Answer 3

You are clearly both of age. As far as casual dating, no problem!! Age, in many ways, is your state of mind!

Further, long term May -December relationships do work many times.

Thing about these things in relation to long terms relationships.

Women live longer than men (though the gap is pretty narrow now), so you are somewhat less likely to leave her a widow.

Women are more mature, (usually, but not universally) than men at the equivalent age. ie: a 25 year old woman is usually more marure than her 25 year old male counterpart. this could be a potential problem, but not absolutely

You're general interests are likely to be somewhat different. Music, etc.

When you are 45, she will be 60. When you are 60 she will be 75 and at an age where she may begin to need the physical care of an aging person. This, of course depends on genes and lifestyle etc. You could be a wreck at 65 and she could be 80 very active and taking care of you as well.

You could fall in love and none of this may ever be a problem, after all, all relationships have problems any way.

I know of several couples like this and they get along great and are very happy.

Best of luck!

Answer 4

Age usually is not a big thing when it comes to dating, just as long you know how far you can and can't go. If you think she is too old for you then find someone that is in your age group, The only way you will know if dating her is for you is to go out on a date with her. I am you and her have a few things in common and you like her for her which is the best way to go no matter how old you are in the dating game. Does she know this? If you ask how she feels about dating a younger guy you might be surprised either way. Don't worry if find out she does not have a problem with it until you find out from her. It really depends on what your preferences are and if this is for you no one can make that decision but you.

Answer 5

I am dating a guy 13 years younger, and we get along just fine. No one can even tell that there is an age difference and we don't care. I warned him I was older and had two kids, he said that it would take more then that to scare him off :) and he's still here!
So if you like her, go for it! Don't worry what other people have to say. It's none of their business how old you are anyway.

Answer 6

Wake up buddy. You r in your 30s now the maturity level should be very even with reguards to 45 may b a little wiser.Been around a little longer!How does she make u feel,thats what is important.You r talkin about enjoying each other.Age doesn't matter here unless it's a drastic amount.where it could limit your time spent together

Answer 7

No i don't think you are too young for her and she is too old for you, old is just a number really and one is has old is he or she acts and feels!!!!!!If you are really attracted to this girl or shall i say lady go with your heart and give it a go if not you will always be wondering what if?????When i was 28 i was with a guy who was 18 although the relationship didn't work out we did have some wild fun kinky s3x so there is no regrets 'lol'!!!!!!I say go for it you may have the time of your life!!!!

Answer 8

All that matters is common attraction maturity and common interests. My bro is 34/ wife 45, my sister is 29/ husband 26, I am 28/ fiance 26, my aunt was 21/ uncle 56.

Age only matters when you have to go for driver's licence!!!

GO for it!!!

Answer 9

Age is only a number and maturaity can't be taught. If you make a fit then go for the gusto. But would you dating change from the fun you are having. Well try to get to know other things began to ask uncomfortable questions. Venture to the other side of the person and then you can decide if she is what you want.

Answer 10

My husband and I had a very happy relationship. I was 11 years younger than him and age never cause any type of problem.

Answer 11

Age gaps present their own problems but they also have their own rewards. The biggest issue you face is not the age gap but the fact that you work together. Should the relationship turn sour, you don't want that headache at work.
