here's the thing... i dated a 25year old that just sits on the couch and we argue... so we just broke up recently... he hates the 61 year old... he thinks that he's competition... yet the 61year old is the party animal... the person that is in better shape than a 30year old... and no i am not into the money... i work hard... at this age i am a manager for a restaurant and i am the youngest of all... and to tell you the truth 61year old is kinda of attractive... and yes he's been married and divorced once... i think we balance very well because we talk about our problems all the time and we seem to have the same thoughts... and most importantly he makes me laugh...

That's a huge age difference, but you sound fairly mature yourself. And he sounds like he's "young at heart". I'd just seriously consider the conversation and the situation a relationship puts both of you in. Just like different races dating, there are challenges. But you can get through it if both of you want the relationship. Be a casual friend for a while and see how that goes.

That much of an age difference is usually a social taboo. However, that doesn't mean it is wrong. If you are smart enough to manage a restaurant than your smart enough to know what you are gettng in to. If the older guy has more vitality than the much younger one then vitality usuallay trumps the slug.
Last fall, I put my house up for sale after living there for 20 years. A 23y.o. woman who's attending college nearby started flirting with me. I'm 54. I'm single and will admit I enjoyed the flirtation but I was fairly passive. One night she "dropped by" when I was in my hot tub and she came on to me. She was honest about being curious about an "older man" and I admit to be excited by her. She also admitted that the fact that I was moving out of town seemed to make it feel like a safe experiment. So for two months we enjoyed each other. She liked my "confident attention" and introduction to a broader range of pleasure. I loved being able to excite a beautiful young woman as well as the reciprocation. We parted on good terms. However, in the end I probably would only be in a long term relationship with someone closer to my own age.

If your relationship is healthy and you two genuinely care about each other, then your 3 year difference shouldn't be a problem. It might be hard for your parents to understand mainly because he's not a teen anymore, but think of it as this: when you were a high school freshman, he was a high school junior. Is there something wrong with that?

It's quite unusual, but hey, if the two of you click that way, I say go for it. If you were any younger than 20, I'd give a different answer. But by age 20, you are/should be mature enough to make a good decision about it.

Go with your mind and heart. No matter the age, love and attraction is very important. Today's 60 is yesterday's 40. No matter if that other guy is 25. Sounds like he is a slug. Who wants to just sit on the couch?
I say go for it.

Think about it this way- If there's a 20 year old dating a 60 year old, the 20 year old is young enough to be the 60 year old's grandson/granddaughter.
THAT'S REPULSIVE!
