This woman another friend set me up with is 24 I'm 37. Is there any problem with age differences? So far we click and seem attracted to each other. What would be the best way to make this work? Has any one else been a similar situation?

It should be fine. I'm married to a woman 10 yrs younger. I'm 52. The only drawback is that you know more from experience than she does. Keep in mind that life has been teaching you it's lessons 13 years longer than it has her. So things will come up that you will disagree on now, but not when she gets to your age. You will need to be patient with her will life teaches her those same things from experience. That part can be difficult. The key is exactly what you said though..."we click!" As long as the both of you "click", you should have no problem.
Good luck! Love is wonderful when it's with the right person.

a great philosopher once said " age aint nothing but a number"...ok, so i lied...but the truth of the matter is this, if two consenting adults feel a mutual admiration for each other, than what can possibly go wrong? maybe she has been with younger "boys" who have treated her unfairly...she perhaps is interested in men who are more mature and knows how to treat a lady...several years ago, i had a couple next door who were married happily for 30yrs...and guess what, their age difference was basically in the same range as yours...if you two are really attracted to each other, than congratulations...you are perhaps one step closer to finding your lifelong soulmate...your next step is to find out what she is interested in? if she was to ask you any questions, be completely honest...remember, perhaps she once dated a guy who was full of lies and was the reason why she left him in the first place...since you are 37, you probably have had some experience with women so i am not even going to go into detail as to how you should approach this situation...what else can i say, just be true to yourself and treat her with respect and who knows what might happen in the near future.......good luck and if she has a beautiful single sister, maybe you can introduce me to her...lol..just kidding.

I'm 59 and she's 21. Nope. She's 59 and I'm 21. Nope.
I'm of legal age and so is she. OK
Do you see what I'm trying to say. In some way, you've focused on age as a distracter to the real issue. Why would she want to be with you, an elder? Why would you want to be with her, a youngster? You'll make up your own reasons For and Against.
Make sure the two of you understand there is alot stacked against it working, generation gap not the least.

this question actually made me laugh out loud.....I am also a 24 yr old female and my boyfriend is 54 yrs old.....so i see absolutely nothing wrong with the age difference in your situation....its not really that much of an age difference anyway. i say if the 2 of you are happy together then there is no reason you shouldnt be together.....and dont let other peoples opinions influence your choices....
me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 2 years and are very happy.....i wish you good luck with your relationship and hope things go good for you!!!

My father-in-law is 18 years older than my mom-n-law. They get along great and have a wonderful marriage. I do think it is sometimes hard on Mom when she wants to go out and he is a grumpy old man who just wants to stay home and read. Your girlfriend is twenty-four, she's not some naive teenager. You know what's right for your relationship. There must be something else besides the age difference that's bugging you. Ask yourself why you really asked this question.

Thats an interesting age because she may want more children at such an early age and you want not to. Other than that I think I think much else can come together...there is 10 yrs difference between my girl and I but we are 10 years older than both you and children issues are already settled...good luck.

I'm in a relationship right now and we have a 6 year age difference. Age is just a number. Looking back on it, I was young when we first started dating, and was a little apprehensive; however, looking at it now, I see no age difference. The subject or issue of our age difference never comes up. I don't think about it.

Yeah dude- you already answered the question- You have the mentality of a 24 yr old. The best way to make it work would to be knocking her up and then meeting her parents. You'll get tricked and be paying child support for 18+

Age gap won't be problem if you love each other. Couples in the same age have problems, and same with who take age gap.
So why bother, every couple just find problems and try to solve that.
