Oh La, La :)
Well, I'm 30, and let me tell you, If I didn't have the love of the Lord in me--I'd be tearing these some of these little 20 year old guys up...BUT, we have to remember ourselves here. 20 is just too young for as serious relationship--and most 27 year old women are thinking about marriage. Even if you be with him--where will it lead to? It sounds like you may just end up being a bootycall plaything, and thats not worth it. Dont let LUST take over!
Give him some time and space. He sounds cute and fun---but he's just too young for a marriage and serious relationship--so save yourself some drama, and let this one go. So, Next!

If you, at your age, are considering getting into a relationship with a man seven years your junior, you might want to take another look at your own maturity. You may have a good time with him at first, but sooner or later you are going to find out some pretty significant differences in the way you look at issues that surface in a relationship. I encourage you to look beyond the workplace for a suitable person. I'm not advocating looking in bars or night clubs. There are plenty of groups, and organizations that need volunteers where you will find a person more suited for you.

People who say "age doesn't matter" are delusional! If it doesn't matter, why not date an 18 year old? Age matters because it usually (not always) correlates with maturity. I would think he is much less mature than you are. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. He is too young to get overly serious, but maybe he would be fun to hang out with and see casually. Also, the fact that he just broke up with his girlfriend should make you cautious. He may change his mind and get back with her and you don't want to be the one who gets dumped over her.

Well, I think you've answered the question when you say he's the sweetest guy you've ever met- Would someone the same age as you be a better match just because they were 27? They could be an asshole! Give it a go, it could be great!

Forget too young. I am in Love with a woman 20 years my junior. I see no end in sight to either of our feelings changing. If you are both adults then you are the only two people who can really know what you want. I was 40 when we met and have been together for over ten years.
Go for it and good luck

Age is just a number!!!!!
I'm with a man 23 years my senior and have never been happier. I was married to a man almost the same age as me and as time went on i realised we had nothing in common. I have been with my partner almost 3 years now and deffinetley say we dont choose who we fall in love with. Love just happens. If he makes you feel good then go for it.

no way is he too young! i dont think age should matter at all wen it comes to love. i know someone who was 22 and going out with a 36 year old. As long as you like each other i dont see the problem. Good luck!.....

I am 28 yr old girl in a relationship with a 20yr old and we get on great. We are both adults and we fell in love.
Age is just a number (providing he is not a child which would be illegal).

No, under 16 is too young (in the UK)
7 years age difference? not a problem when you're 50 he'll be 43.
If you like him go for it, fill your boots.

DERR!! He's on the rebound, go ahead if you want to get hurt.
I don't think that age is the problem, just that 20yr old guys usually think with their middle leg and his needs comforting right now..
