Do u think this could work?

Question

I've just turned 20 and he's nearly 40..... do u think a relationship could work?

Answer 1

It's possible, but not likely.

Answer 2

I think a relationship could develop. I'm not sure how long it would last. Some people are more mature than others. Also, some people will take advantage of a situation more than others.

The age gap presents issues of understanding. The younger you are, the more likely you will not have the life experience to deal with the complex emotions that can complicate a relationship. The older you are the more set in your ways you become. If the two people are really ment for one another, I'm sure it will work. But if it is not a perfect match and there is some work involved to keep the relationship going, I fear that it is only a matter of time before the relationship fails for one of the partners.

I wish you both luck!

Answer 3

I doubt it, but why not just give it a try. My concern is that...what does a 20 year old have in common with a 40 year old? Sure, there may be a mutual attraction and respect, but it takes much more than that for a relationship to work. Good luck

Answer 4

Why not?
We can't really tell you. It depends on both yours and his personality.
Don't pay attention to Phee's answer. Thats the kind of rubbish close-minded people will come out with.
Why wouldn't a 20 year old enjoy the same movies, music, etc as a 40 year old? I know people that are 15 and their favorite bands are from the 60's and 70's same goes for 40 years old people.
And whats the problem with him being old enough to be your father, the point is that he isn't, so why do people see it as something wrong?

Answer 5

Any relationship could work if you try hard enough. However, and I don't want to burst your bubble, what on earth do you two have in common - mostly he is getting the good deal here. I suspect he is inadequate in some way or he would be spending time with people of his own age. If he can't stand up to his peers, then he obviously needs to show he can hack it in some other way i.e. pick up a young thing. Its generally a disaster unless he can get you a record/underwear deal and has pots of money!

Answer 6

could a relationship work.. sure... will it last is the more important question... probably not... not saying it couldn't ... but it would take a lot more sacrifice then most are willing to make... on both sides... think about it.. you still have another milestone to pass... turning 21... you may already be drinking.. but it's still a right of passage in a way... also think of it this way... when you're 40, he'll be 60.. .when you're 60.. he'll be 80... when you're 80.. most likely he'll be dead.... eh.. just a thought... if you enjoy being with him.. enjoy it while it's going on.. but at the same time.... learn.. grow.. and always be your own person..

Answer 7

Why would you want to go out with somebody twice your age? Find yourself someone closer to your age range and have some fun. An older man might be able to treat you to more things but sometimes they're too set in their ways and you'll be sitting on the couch watching the news while your friends are out having a good time!

Answer 8

yes, if you're only looking to pass time. but, do you see yourself being 30 and him being 50? or 40 and 60? so, like i said, if it's just for now to have fun, then fine. but, keep in mind that he's had a lot more life experiences and you'd kinda be short changing yourself by being with him. he's gonna be more like a mentor than a boy friend. you should find someone closer in age so you can learn and experience things together. just my two cents.

Answer 9

what could a 20 year old and a 40 year old have in common other then sex? wake up girl! why dont you find someone your own age? that is discusting to have someone be your bf and he old enough to be your father! wake up! no, a relationship SHOULDNT work!!!! go find someone 20! why would he want someone young enough to be his daughter!!!!!!!! you both couldNOT like the same music or same movies or anything being so far different in age come on now! he is way beyond his years and you just graduated highschool a couple years ago. wake up wake up wake up

Answer 10

No....the age difference is killer. And then there's gonna be a huge clash, between the things that you guys are into. you might wanna do something that he's not into....like you might wanna hang out with your friends and all...and he might not be into that...could cause a huge problem. you're still young, and i'm sure there are stuff that you'd like that do, that he might not want to soo much.

Answer 11

wow thats a real big gap...rigt now it might seem like a good relationship. But later on the age thing will catch up. Just think about it.
good luck
