So, last night I went on a date with a much older guy. Im only 21 and hes 51. Im aware of the huge age gap, but its ok. I really like him, but what does the general public think about something like that?

I used to date guys as much as 15 years older and I am 20. People generally think he's looking for sex and preying on you, and/or that you want his money or status. It depends on the younger person's age and if they seem like the sterotype of sugarbaby. If you genuinely like the guy and trust his reasons for liking you.. go for it. Its no one else's business. That doesn't mean they won't talk. You may just have to prove some people wrong.

My last GF was 24 and I am 51. We were friends first, then went out for drink a couple of times,talked, bonded so forth. Then for some reasons it went further, was not really looking for it , it just happened. I guess luckily I look younger than I am and I am still "with it". And Oh by the way, contrary to what some of these people say about the sex thing, she made the first move, not me. But that was cool, I like aggresive. So whatever floats your boat, go for it. You will see a big difference by the way U R treated.

first of all... I know how you feel, I am 21 and my fiance is 32, i say, if he is someone you can see yourself with, or you just enjoy your time with him, who cares what anyone thinks!! the public, has an idea of a certain way you are suppose to be, i get a LOT of **** because we have a 2 year old son, and are still not married we have been together almost 4 years..... it use to bother me but now, i'm just like WHO CARES!!! be who u want to be, and be WITH who you what to be with! there will always be people who have a negative view on your relationship, but the people who love you will look beside the age gap, and get to know the real person!

That's a pretty big age gap. You're old enough to do what you like and date whoever you want to, but I'd think twice about getting too serious about a long term relationship...do the math.

I wouldn't be concerned with the general public. If you two are happy together, then do it up! A lot of people would frown upon it, but who cares. Do what you feel is right. You don't have to answer to anyone, especially strangers. Their opinion doesn't matter.

My question I just asked was about me 22 and a man 41. There is nothing wrong with that to me. Just be careful. I love older men. Not Wrinkly though. haha

He is only dating you for ONE reason......he wants to screw a young girl and he should be ashamed of his dirty man self.
Seriously you have to wonder about a guy that would date someone 30 years younger, he probably has some Major issues.

Age is nothing but a number! If you feel that u really like him and u think that he feels the same, go for it!
