I love my boyfriend who is A LOT older and when I say A LOT I mean like he could be my dad,or brother(actually he's my brother's age hehe)
He was married before and has 3 boys,I was married for 14 months and had a twins with my first husband.
Do you think age matters?
=)Thank you.

Nope,
It doesn't matter at all!
Love is love..when you fall in love nothing else in the world seems to matter.
Best of luck to you and your husband!!

No age doesn't matter. If you enjoy his company and enjoy being with him and he feels the same why should age stop you? Age only tells you how long you've been on earth not what is in your head or in your heart. So if you want him, get him. Don't let anyone or anything tell you differently. And for all you know this could be one of the greatest relationships waiting to happen and it would be a shame for you to miss out on it because you let a simple factor of age get in the way. Good luck and go get him

I personally don't think it matters at all My personal phillosphy is age is just a number
My Boyfreind now has been married twice before me and has 2 kids too they are all grown up and he is older than me too and that's no problem for us
So Don't worry about the age difference between you guys and don't let anyone try and break you guys up based on the age cause if you both love each other that's all that matters

It's not so much age as maturity. If you are both on the same track and want the same things out of life, then it doesn't matter what the numbers say. The problems come up when you both envision different things for your shared life - if you want to be adventurous and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants and he wants to settle into a nice school district and have a dog, you might have to rethink it.

My mother dated a man 36 years older than her--she was 42, it lasted for 10 years (he passed away). I didn't like THEIR relationship (as a not-so-impartial observer) because he was controlling, over-possessive, and more fatherly than I thought appropriate. She liked that he was a 'take-control' kind of person who doted on her. Go figure! They were very happy together and I suppose I'm a bit embarassed by my behavior now (I was never very nice to him). I would just be careful that you aren't in the relationship because he 'takes care of you' or 'reminds you of your father'. Hopefully you are in a mutually beneficial relationship where he's not controlling or over possessive (I've heard many older men can be this way with much younger women).

I don't think age matters as long as you are over the age of 18. I think it's more a matter of maturity. My fiance and I are 15 years apart but we share a lot in common.
I think it's how old you feel too. Do what makes you happy. No one should judge you or care if you are truly happy.

I believe, that when you fall in real, deep true love MUTUALLY, that if you've been married at least once before and have procreated, then you have some life experience and are probably better equipped to understand and know what you want out of life. Most of us don't "pick" who we fall in love with, we just do.
If you are realistic enough to recognize two things, one, he will pass from this life, probably long before you and second, you could wind up caring for him in a major, life ending illness - then he's probably the one for you.
Goodluck dear...

That is a very touchy subject. I guess it matters who your asking, yourself or others.
Obviously, it doesn't matter to you, as you seem to love the person you are with.
It may matter to others. There is a stigma in dating someone who is much older than you are. It may be easier in a casual setting, but it will probably be tough for people close to you to accept this, such as your family and close friends. People will tend to judge you, but it's up to you if you will let this bother you, or take their comments with a grain of salt.

I think age matters in the way of maturity & mutual interests. But sometimes you can have more in common with someone older (or younger). But if you have alot in common and love him; it doesnt matter. As long as your happy. But if you think it will always bother you; you need to discuss it with him.

Sounds like you are 2 consenting adults. You didn't state your ages. If you are under 18 then it matters...Good luck with the relationship. I hope it works out well.

Depends how old you are, but I still think more than 15 years older is too much of a difference.
