I am in my 20's and dating a man 14 years older than me. We get a long great and enjoy the same things. We always have such a great time. I did not how much older he was than me until the other day. The thing is, its too late. I'm already in love. He is nice and repects me and doesn't put pressure on me for anything. Is this age difference ok?

I was 28 when I met my husband and he was 39...seems weird because when he turned 40 he would sit there and say yeah my wife is in her 20's and so on and now he is in his 50's and I am 39...so yes we are happy and it can work..sometimes I feel though that we are on separate levels because he is calming down in life and I want to go go go...but we made it this long and I see no problems with it...plus he always says I make him feel younger...and I say I feel older...but that is our humor jokes to each other...love is blind when it comes to ages....If he is the right one, than go for it...best of luck to you..

I'm a 34 year old man that still gets carded believe it or not, I've been told I look between 23 and 25, I met this girl in her early 20s and let me tell you it's one of the best relationships I've ever had. I think it's because I'm more mature than the men she's dated before and I treat her with respect because she's a lot of fun and makes me feel wanted so I don't wanna mess that up. I did my partying back in the day but now I get to enjoy it with her. So my advice is just ride the wave and see what happens, you're both adults so just have fun, that's what life is all about.

I think it's ok if you feel it's ok. I would be curious to know how he feel's about dating younger women. My greatest concern is for you and what you want out of this relationship and more importantly, life. Because I made decision's at a young age while seeing an older man that affected the rest of my life. Sounds like you two need to talk, and it would be valuable to get feedback from a trusted, mature woman. Wouldn't be a bad idea to get a platonic man's take as well. Good luck to you dear!

Oh wow, i'd truly be thinking "unlawful" right here! that is going to be so damaging to the 12 year previous through fact the years progression. And what does a 17 year previous choose for with a 12 year previous (different than the sexual nature of the relationship, that's only so beside the point because it somewhat is)? i'm in PA and that's certainly seen statutory rape. have you ever tried chatting consisting of your buddy in any respect? while i think of 12, i think of toddler...17 - too close to to adulthood! i desire each thing seems ok, and that your buddy isn't being injury or harmed in any way...

Girl go for it! Who cares if he is older! You two have a great time and enjoy each other. As long as you are both happy thats what really matters. Im in my 20's too and am dating a guy who is way older than me.

14 years is not such a BIG age difference! You´re in love and that´s all what counts.

I am in this situation now. In my 20's it was great. But now that I am in my 30's he's in his 40's and it's almost like we are on 2 different planets. He's happy sitting at home, and I still want to go on "date nights" or to visit friends. He has way less energy than I do, and in the bedroom, well let's just say HE's the one with the headaches. So it way be great now, but you also need to look at the future.

Age difference is irrelevant as long as you are both legal adults and both of you do not care about the age difference.
Don't let other people try to tell you or suggest to you that there's something wrong with it. It is so seriously none of their business.
All that matters is what you and your boyfriend are comfortable and happy with.

it's ok if you're ok with it. my friend is 20 and she's dating someone who's 33. she's, as we all say, mature for her age, and he's kinda in his twenties. i have another who's 21 and is dating a 47 year old, and it reeks of codependence. but codependence is bad at any age.
however, age isn't just a number but often a marker of where we are in our lives, but it is different for everyone. people are going to think what they want, but if you can get past their sneers and judgments and be confident with your decision making, go for it. otherwise, maybe you need a break. you shouldn't need people on yahoo answers answering your question for you. you need to answer it yourself.

It is okay if you are okay with it. I had an experience much similar to this and we went through A LOT of ups and downs before I realized it wouldn't work.
I hope it works out for you, sometimes it can be a good thing.
