Yes, as long as you are both 18 and older then age doesn't matter. Just as long as you are both happy and love each other. I had relatives that were 30 years apart from their spouse and they were happy.

Nothing in love is normal as such. Falling in love is not something we just decide to do, and therefore if you have fallen in love with a 50yr old & you are 20, it's not your fault and there is nothing wrong with you. Maybe I'm a little biased, being that I'm 20 also, & the guy I am dating is 38. I asked my own question regarding age difference but mine was more a question as to whether I should continue the relationship or not. However, I was inundated with answers in the first few minutes of asking, and each answer made me feel more strongly about staying. But every situation is different, I mean, if this guy is someone in a position of authority or something like that, then things can get nasty & complicated. Only you will know when it's right because you will feel it in your heart and feel safe around this person. But either way, I wish you well and hope you find what you are looking for :)

you may not see the difference in 20 and 50.. but what about 40 and 70? 50 and 80?

It can be. Significant age differences can be abnormal but do not have to be. They happen for all sorts of reasons. They can be very beneficial or harmful… depending on the individuals. If the youngest is a very mature person, it can work. And the older person can mentor and teach the younger a lot of things. But in general, the risks out weigh the benefits.

she is 30 years your senior....which im sure you are aware,..emotions should never be toyed with...as long as there is a genuine connection between the two of you...with acceptance and respect for both ...then the age difference is not an issue, I would urge you and her to be sure of your expectations of one another...going into the future. You may outlive her...but love is for those who can give freely..and openly...so good luck...

Age should not matter. I was with a guy who's 16 years old older but he was the worst person in my life. Glad I got over this DIRTY OLD MAN!!!
Age doesn't matter, character is.

it happens. I fell inlove with a 50-yr. old man when I was 13.it didn't work out, though. But a pyschologist told me it has something to do with a bad relationship with my father...longing for a 'father-ish figure', but looking for it in a differnt way.

Well it sounds very uncommon, but if you both genuinely like eachother and have a connection then I would go for it, age shouldn't matter. I hope this helps! =)

No, it is unusual. But it is not abnormal, there is no time line for emotions. Age does not measure love, the heart does.

No not normally, but stuff happens. If your truly looking at her as a woman and not as a mother and provider, may you two can see where it goes.
