I mean I love him. Life is not worth living without him. I can actually visualize us getting married and living happily ever after. Sure, I've had crushes before. But, I felt that those relationships would not work out and they did not. I feel this one will. Our personalities match so well. And really like him a lot and love him. I even worry about him to much...that's when I knew it was pure and simple love.
Help? Advice please...

Beautyful Girl; nobody can say you can't marry this man because it is your decision. But before committing please be sure that you are aware of the pitfalls also. If you two have kids together how old will he be when they become school age or want to get into sports. Will the kids friends look at this man as their granddad rather than their dad as he may not be capable of participating in their lives. Also another fact is that you will be widowed sooner then your friends as he is a whole generation older than you.

well if u r really sure that u love him enough and do not care about the age difference then go for it! but remember that the age difference would not seem like a big deal at first but both of u r gonna get old and when u r 40 and he's 62 the age difference might cause issues in ur marriage. take all these into account before u get into marriage.

You can if you are over 18.
Just realize you will probably have less in common on things like movies books and music than a person your own age . He has also been through events in his life that you have yet to experiance.
Consider what the age gap means in the future.
20 - 42 - thats fine , he young enough to be active
30 - 53 still good
43 - 65 he is retiring maybe on a pension
you still fairly young woman
50 - 72 ooops
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It can work if you want it too. 22 years is enough that hes more your dads age .

All I'm going to say is that as long as you're ready for this and you know that you love eachother and can stand the age difference..Go ahead and follow your heart. Don't mind what other people say, It's what you care that matters!
Good Luck and All the Best!

It sounds like you have father issues. Usually, when girls date guys old enough to be their father, they are really looking for the father they never had or the father they would have wanted. Maybe you should consider therapy before marrying a "father figure". Remember, marrying an older man can never replace the empty feeling left by your real father.

There is nothing wrong with marrying someone whose age is different than yours. Love isn't about age, sex, race, any of that. It's about love. If you two love eachother, then by all means, get married. Just please be prepared for the comments you will get (because you WILL get them). It isn't right for people to talk badly about you because you fall in love with someone 22 years older than you, but they will. They will say any number of bad things about you two and you jsut have to be ready for it and be able to deal with it.

Yes you can. There are a lot of marriages that have a huge gap, some even greater than yours. A lot of them turn out to be very successful. If you feel that he is the one for you then don't be afraid to go into it.

Answer is yes, you can do whatever you want with this man 22 years older than you...
But have you ever think of what other say when they see you guys together? If you don't care thats fine....
But if you guys ever have kids and your son or daughter called your husband grandpap... How would you feel or react to that....

If you are of legal age in your State, you can marry anybody you want (or wants to marry you). Other than that it's nobody Else's business and a matter only you can decide.
