I have been dating my current boyfriend for 2 months now. I really enjoy our relationship. He is 12 years my junior. I am 35 and he is 23. Do you guys think there is a chance that this relationship will last? We have a lot in common, and both can't wait to see each other again. We have the support of our friends and families, but I know that all things start out great. I was just inquiring about your opinions.

Age is just a number, when both are over the age of 18. It's only up to you two to keep it going. Just take it slow, don't rush into anything, and I'm sure it will work.
Good luck. =]

You really seem to be basing this question solely on the fact that their is an age factor. Honestly, you guys have a great thing going on and especially since you are both adults, age doesn't matter. You love him, you can't wait to see him, and vice versa. Forget about the age difference and focus on all the amazing things happening in the relationship here and now.

I dated a guy 11 years younger than me and after a couple years it no longer worked out. I was too advanced for him even though we tried to grow together. My ex-husband was 20 years older than me. Obviously by the ex it didn't work out. I don't want to say it won't work but in both of my cases the age difference did have a lot to do with why they failed. I am dating a guy who is two months older than me now and things are so much better.

I think that as long as you don't change him and continue to allow him to be the person you love and enjoy - that nothing will change and there are great possibilities for it lasting. Some women I know who get involved with younger men love it at first, then want them to grow up. I married a man 13 years older than me and we are going on 3 years. We really enjoy each other and that spark is still there. Enjoy it and don't overthink it, and I think you two will be fine. Good luck!

Love knows no age. My mother is 43 and is married to a 28 year old guy, go with what your heart tells you. He loves you and is willing to make it work. Stick it out and see where is goes!

my 32 yr old friend has been married to her 23yo husband for for a yr now and they have the most loving and caring relationship. and he provides for her and her daughter. that man will do what ever it is to take care of his family. it's not a/b the age. it's maturity. he does a better job than most men older than he is. enjoy it and be happy take care.

Nope
He is too young for this to last. Not every woman can be Stella.
In any event, enjoy it for what it is for now, and don't worry about the future... unless you're looking for a husband. In that case, move on.

I don't see why not. The heart only sees another heart. :) It will work if you want it to, as in any other relationship.
