If they feel comfortable with each other and love each other then there is nothing wrong with it... even if they are just dating, as long as their happy then they should just go for it :) :) :)

Yeah well, as long a neither of you mind the differences that will be sure to come up then I see nothing too wrong about it. You're legal at least...and can get in to bars at least!
Personally I think you change a lot in your 20's and to be dating someone over twice your age will no doubt bring about some problems. I am not saying it's not possible...a lot of people have successful relationships like this...I am just saying it will be tough at times and unlikely that things will work out.
Has he been married before and does he have kids? These are things you need to think about how you will deal with now because if you plan to be with him for long-term. They will eventually effect YOU too. A lot of kids aren't too happy to find their dad is dating someone who could be their sibling and resent it...and could end up treating you badly.

I think 22 is old enough to make a rational decision so morally I dont think there is really anything wrong with it as long as you two are together for the right reason (not a sugar daddy/trophy girlfriend relationship). Age is more then a number...its an indication of life experiences...he probably has experienced much more then you have and is more mature and at a different stage in his life. But if you really like him...go for it. If it doesnt wokr out then you've learned something from it. Good luck

Be honest with yourself about why you are in this relationship. Is he just proud to have a young woman at his side? Are you looking for someone who can financially take care of you? Make sure there are no underlying reasons for this union. If not and you truly enjoy each others company then go for it. But if it advances to the next stage, sit down and talk about the logistics. He'll be retired long before you, he may be ready for kids long before you, and he's probably got a lot longer history than you. Just make sure you communicate but it can work if you try. Good luck.

Well, you will be working to support him long after he's retired.
When you are 40 you might want to party with younger people (midlife crisis), but he would be around 63 then.
When he's retirement age he will have time to travel (or he could become ill). You might be working on your career yet.
On the other hand, you could become ill next week.
Life is very uncertain, just do what your heart tells you to do and if you are both happy and healthy in the relationship, then that might be your answer.

I believe Celine is 28 years younger than her husband. What should it matter what others think? You'll have nay sayers and others who will say it's great. In the end all that really matters is are you happy in this relationship and is he everything you could ask for?
Best Wishes to you both,
Amanda

I don't see a problem with it, I am 23 and my last bf was 40, just be careful cause alot of guys just wanna be with you cause they feel younger if they are with a younger girl.

My personal opinion any age over or under six years difference could be a problem, yes some work but most do not, Good luck.

He could be your dad... agewise.
There are many things you should consider.
Do you have the same interests?
Do you like the same kind of music?
Does he really like to hang out with your 22 year-old friends?
Do you like to hang out with his 40-to-50 year-old friends?
Does he mind being referred to as your father when you go to restaurants.. or do you mind being referred to as his daughter?
Do you know if he has kids? If he does, they might be just a few years younger than you.
Could you really expect a kid 4 years younger than you, for example, to see you as his stepmother?
When you're in your 40s, he'll be in his mid-60s.. you'd be old enough to be a mom, he'd be old enough to be a granddad.
If you are doing it because you are seriously interested in him, think about these things.
But if you're doing it only for the fun.... there's not much I can say. Have fun

You're young, in love, probably not giving much thought to certain things.
Just be safe, cautious.. and I honestly hope the fall is not too hard if your bubble bursts.

Personally, I would never date someone way older than me but I don't think you are doing something completly wrong if you can trust this person and you truly love them... good luck!
