Love is funny isn't it? I would never thought in a million years that I would like someone who is much younger than me. He's sweet, honest, gentle and considerate. We're both single (just so you know ) and work together so I see him more often and since we're colleage, we don't need to put our best foot forward but being ourselves. I think it's weird for me to even think about someone who is younger. I have no expectation but I can feel the physical tention when we're together. We have never done anything that considers inappropriate and I like to keep it that way. Too much to jeopardize our career if we crossed the line. We're enjoy hanging out at lunch together. We both get promoted and share a lot in common. I think it makes me want to go to work everyday. There is no way that we can be together but that's ok with me. Have you ever been in this situation?. Did you act on it? Would you want anything more than just friends?

Thanks for all responses. No, I like the way it is. He teases me alot and also stands up for me when someone says something that's not nice. I found myself missing him when I'm not at work. He's Italian and I love Italy. Matter of fact, I just came back from Italy. I think the attraction is that I listen to Italian music and so does he. I smile everytime I think of him. What makes me feel weird is that I'm more than 10 years older but I don't look older than him. And yes, he's 24. At least I don't feel like I dramatize an under age kid :-)

It is nice to have a great friendship with a much younger coworker of the opposite sex. I had a much younger (20 years younger) coworker want to marry me, but I turned him down. Just can't do things like that at work. I'm happy just being friends.

Well I am 25 and am currently seeing someone who is 18. We get along so great, and when we are together you can't even tell there is a 7 year difference. In fact, in a lot of ways he is more mature then me! I think it all comes down to how you get along together. Some people are more mature then others even at a younger age. So keep an open mind :)

hey I think its ok that you have feelings for someone younger than you I'm in a relationship about the same they are 12 yrs younger than I but we have been together almost 6 yrs we have our ups & downs but our relationship is great we are best friends as well as lovers,I know i'm in love with this person because I have never felt anything like this before we are planning for our future together although some times I feel like it's not gonna last because of the age difference,but give it a shot what do you have to lose.

I've never been in love with someone younger than me, I'm 21 though. I do have a thing for older women though (I'm female) and no I have never acted on it...my parents and friends would freak out if they ever found out. I like guys my age but older women, yes I'm strange LOL.
Anyway, I think you should get together with that guy if you're in love with him...love is more important than work, you can always find another job.

There is an age gap of 20 years between my mum and dad.
They have been together for 29 years and i am 27..
There is nothing wrong with age gap as long as it's not like 14 yr old female & 30 yr old bloke..
As long as you are both mature and had the life experiances of love, hate and loss all is ok in my book!

How much younger are we talking about? Like you're a 6th grade teacher and he's your student kind of younger? You should be a little more specific on the age gap. As long as he's above 18 years old and single, then you crazy kids can love each other as much as you all like. Screw what everyone else thinks, just as long as your love is legal.

yes. the only way i acted on it was to tell her how i feel. some days i regret that. some days i don't. we are still friends and she can be very affectionate as a friend when the opportunity arises. but now she's more guarded and knows to set boundaries. i'm good with that because it makes sense. we cannot be together for a whole bunch of reasons. but sometimes......most of the time....i just miss my friend so much that it hurts. that's when i regret telling her. we were becoming better and better friends. we shared a lot. i just miss her being around for me. and yes, i blame myself.

You have a sweet relationship---leave it at that. You also have a little infatuation going on, so that is even more reason to leave it alone. It will pass and you can have a lifelong friend if you keep it platonic.

No, once I know I'm a lot older I try to stay away. But it's up to you, age doesn't matter in love.
