I'm in my late 30's, have been married with children, etc and have been divorced now for 4 years. There is a guy at work that I'm insanely attracted to, we get along really well and I feel the attraction is two-way. The issue is that he is in his early 20's. I have to add that he seems very mature for his age. He is about to move to another building, but will still be with the same company, and before he moves I was thinking of letting him know how I feel. Do you think it's appropriate given the age gap?

I don't see a problem with letting him know how you feel. I was in a similar situation when I was 21 and a friend that I had know for years was 31 at the time and she told me her feelings for me and that was the greatest younger man older woman experiene that I had ever had in my life. I really don't see any harm in letting him know what's up.
But I will say this just be careful about your approach. You don;t want him to feel that he has to become an instant father to your child/children. not to say that's what you are looking for but to say that there are women that are like that. Just give him a chance to think about how he would feel to be in a situation like that. A good idea for you s ask him about his plan in life as a father, is he interested in having a dfamily one day things like that and you could also ask him about having kids of his own. Sometimes when involved with older women they tend not to want any more kids if they already have some and this could also turn the guy away if he wants kids of his own. Good luck

I was in a five year relationship with a guy who is 15 years younger than me. We didn't break up because of this either. If you make it clear the relationship is to be made on give and take from both of you I really don't see what is wrong. Guys can date younger women so why can't women date younger men. It can work, and why should the celebs have all the fun? Go for it, take a chance besides it helps keep you young.

I’m 25, and my brothers are 38 & 34 (same father and mom), and that i like it! even as i became a baby, i became continuously more suitable attentive to everyday music and trend developments than different babies my age so I felt “cool,” and they were both out of the living house by technique of the time i became 10 years previous so I were given the finest of both worlds. I’m no longer an in reality baby, yet I were given to experience like i became. Now that we’re adults, the age distinction doesn’t’ particularly count number number because we’re all in reality on the time existence degree: married, operating father and mom. I actual do no longer wish our a lengthy time period were nearer jointly or that there have been different babies contained in the hollow. the in reality “issue” with my arrival is that my oldest brother, who had only grew to develop into 12, became threatening to run away if i became a woman. We nonetheless chortle about it to right this moment because he became apparently great severe, yet he were given over it.

Well, when I was 17 I was with a man 11 years older than me, and I ended it after 2 years because I was so much more mature.

So, no, age doesn't matter per se. It's the mentality and personality of a person determining their maturity.

Go for it :D

if your thinking of this as something that can be fun and light with out strings and just be for fun then go for it! but if your hoping to pull a demi and Ashton then i would really think about it and take it slow because it can be a very hard thing to over come for a guy who is older if he has no kids so a younger guy who is still at the prime party age it may be hard but it can also be fun and exciting for you both! so take the chance and go slow!

Don't worry about it.
Age is something we humans made up.
Love is timeless. I think you should tell him exactly how you feel and if you, deep down inside, feel it appropriate then you should totally go for it.
