Misslady it is not my business to take your relationship and decide for you if it is right or not. My only concern would be the fact that he is old enough to be your father in reality and the difference in maturity levels also. He has already experienced many things that you have not. Also if you ever want to bear children he will be quite old when the kids become involved in sports, school events etc. They may end up resenting you for getting involved with a man his age as their friends may think he is their granddad rather then their father. As well fact of live is that they will be left fatherless very early in their lives and you as a young widow. But take your time and make a mature decision. Ask your parents what their opinions are as this could cause quite a stir in relationships between them and him also. Finally talk it over with this man. Be open and honest with each other when discussing the pros and cons of attempting to develop a relationship with this much age difference. Some of his friends may not be comfortable with hanging out with someone so young, just as your friends may not want to hang around an old guy either. Best of luck.

There is nothing wrong with it, however I do think you are so young that you have so much life experience ahead of you. If you are having fun just dating and enjoy his company, then great. You don't say if you are wanting a long-term relationship at this time, and being in my 40's, I know that a lot of men in their 40's just want someone much younger to date and/or marry, without caring about common interests. If you are wanting something long-term, ask yourself, do you have a lot in common, do you enjoy doing the same things? Think about what life would be like in ten years from now...he may have all the qualities you seek, but there has to be more than that to hold it all together.

As long as the 22 year old is a mature person (if we are talking long term). It is a big age difference -it could work but as you age the difference will become more apparent. Think Rod Stewart and Rachel Hunter. As she ages she may feel she has missed out on life experiences. Hard to say - it may or may not work but you are both consenting adults so just have some fun for now ;-)

22 years is quite a gap, but that doesn't mean it's wrong for you to be dating him. You're of legal age.
You might notice down the line more differences because of age (i've noticed it just with a 5 year gap) but if you work hard at the relationship, you can get through any problems that might come up.
If you like him and the age difference doesn't bother you, then go for it.

Not a thing. Age is what it is...age. Now if he was 44 and she was 14 yeah we got a problem and dude is sick in the head. My best friend is 31 and her boyfriend 50. doesnt look it or acts it. But he isnt acting 31 either. He's a cool dude. So kudos to that 22 year old. You go girl. Men are like wine, finer with age.

It is a bit of an age gap!! Even if he sounds really nice just think about it 22-44... he's lived his life and will soon be ready to settle down whereas you're just beginning...there are a lot of differences which will get in the way

There is nothing really wrong with it,,,,,,,chances are he has a very swollen bank acc and in some ways thats probably where the real problem is. But anyway love is blind in some cases but in most is has more to do with money than age.
Take a look at hugh hefner and his 3 twenty something year old wives. How old is Hefner again like 60 or somethng???!!??!?

Nope, Age shouldnt matter if you care for or love the person. I am 25 and am dating a 37 soon to be 38 year old man. People are in shock at first but who cares. All that should matter is your feelings for each other. Doesn't even matter how old he looks.

There is nothing wrong with it. I am sure he is grooving on dating a 22 year old girl - that will be a big feather in his cap. If he is for real and wants you for you and not for a trophy then go for it. Be sure of what his goals and your goals for the relationship are and do the mesh. This will be the deal breaker.
