I am a 36 year old lady - turning 37 late this year. I have met a guy who is 22 years old and i REALLY like him and makes me feel so special - he turns 23 the same month i turn 37. I know we are both adults - but i dont know what to think about the age difference. He says he is ok with it - he doesnt care about the age difference. I just wanted other peoples views on this. What do you think?

You dont need to ask, go with your heart. If you have to ask an overall opinion then you are doubting yourself. Just do it and good luck to you both. True love can be hard to find in any shape or form, age, height, size, colour, culture, what does it matter. If you think you have found it, hold on tight.

Ask Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher!!
As people get older, age difference means less and less. If you met him 7 years ago when you were 30 and he was 15, I think you'd have a problem. At 37 and 23, I see nothing wrong if you are both sure you want a relationship.

To me the only thing I wonder is what you have in common. Especially if you're thinking long term/marriage. You have entirely different experiences and views of the world. That can be a good thing, but you have to be able to connect on a bunch of different levels. (As an aside; don't get bamboozled by a guy because he makes you feel special. Make yourself feel special and surround yourself with friends and family you make you feel special. Depending on a guy for this can be dangerous for you and for the relationship)
Meanwhile-you go girl!

You are too old for him. Everything now might be nice and fine but eventual the age difference is going to show. I don't care what people say age does matter in a relationship because people are in different places and stages within their life. What happens if 5 years down the road he wants children and you don't. It fine to be 27 and have a baby but who wants to be a 42 year old with a baby.

my best friend married her bloke last august there is 13 years between them they are real settled have one baby and another on the way. I can't see a problem look at Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas. As long as you have lots in common and get on well, go for it. Though just remember some people will always have something to say about it. Good Luck

Age is what you make of it. If he's mature enough for you, then go for it. I'm not sure how far along he is in terms of education, job or life experience but I'm sure since you know him you've got a pretty good grasp on the answers to those things.

If anyone says anything say yuck fou. Age means nothing as long as you're both consenting adults, so if you've found love I say go with it and enjoy. Age is just a number!

u are both consenting adults so who cares what everyone else thinks.
not to put a downer on your new relationship but just bare in mind one day he may want to get with a women his owen age unfortentley u are going to age quicker than him so just keep all of that in mind.
do whats best for you and not what other people think is best.
good luck

why do u want OTHER ppls opinions??? u shouldnt care bout what other ppl say about... good or bad. cuz if u like the guy and he likes u... isnt that enough of an answer? and u said urself that ur both adults... so u two are capable of making ur own decisions.
and... i think its great... if i was you... i would totally go for it.
