If you are in love, that small of an age difference will make no difference at all. But, I don't know if 6 months is long enough to make the big decision. I would give it just a little more time. If you're going to spend the rest of your lives together, why not wait another 6 months to get married? I spent 5 years with my husband before we got married and he left me for another woman after 16 years (He is 11 years older than me). My grandparents new each other for two weeks before they were married and they have been together for 60 glorious years. Who is to say? I'm just saying marriage is a commitment that should be for life and you want to be sure. If you are - go for it. Age shouldn't matter.

I think that if you are crazy about each other, and this is the real deal for both of you then go for it. There isn't a HUGE age gap--although usually it is the man older than the women, I don't see anything wrong with an older women and younger man--as long as you are HAPPY. If the interests are similar, and the love is real--it doesn't really matter.

Regardless of who you are or how old you are, I would highly recommend waiting longer to get engaged. In a mere six months, you don't really know a person as well as you may think. Generally, you're still in the "honeymoon" period, and you haven't really experienced a lot of ups and downs yet. Within six months, many people in relationships are still putting their best foot forward, treading lightly, and being hyper-sensitive to the other person. Give it another six months, and you'll be more comfortable with each other, and you'll be able to better evaluate whether or not you really are committed to spending your life with this person. After a year, sometimes funny little quirks can become horribly intolerable.

Why the rush? Waiting another six months to a year won't hurt if it's for real.
The age gap is an issue, but in a good way. Sexually, she is about to reach her peak and at twenty-two, you'll certainly be able to keep pace with the oncoming demand. Enjoy, and good luck.

If you love her 'DO NOT' let that age crap keep you from marrying her.
I too am british and married an american who was stationed in England.
He is 15 years older than me, but we have been together for 22 years now.
Go for it Mr, you'll regret it if you don't! One thing though, be willing to consider staying in england, just has she has to consider moving to america, then make your decisions which you
would 'both' prefer..

I'm soon - to- be 35 and my hubby of a few months is only 27. It's not age, it's mentality.
If you love each other, and you agree on things in life, then get married.

I don't think that age gap will be that much of a factor in your relationship, just don't make a big deal when she turns 30, or 40, or 50, and so on....

The age of your girlfriend is no big deal; my husband is 6 years older than me.....however, you probably haven't known this person long enough to get married just yet. If this is true love than it doesn't need to be rushed.
