Hi Everyone.Ive started dating an older man(14 yrs to be exact).Everything is going great between us.The Age gap is not a problem.But he has dated younger women in the past and the age gap has posed problems.I was just wondering how ye feel about this and how do I stop the age gap becoming a problem.

why should it become a problem... its only 14 yrs its not that much... i met someone yest who is 31 and her boyfriend is 48 and she loves him so much and they have been together 5 yrs... its only a problem if u make it one... its your decision whom you see and date... nothing to do with any one else and if he is good to you then grab it and him with both hands ..

Best of Luck

Thanks Bluebelle Your so right I am gonna grab him with both hands and never let him go. He is a dote.Thank you so much for your help

Hi..by you worring about it may cause problems..Go with the Flow...enjoy while you can...putting to much on one thing is a waste of time...Love is Grand...dont let it slip away becos of age gap..

As long as your both happy where's the problem!

Just enjoy and be happy

I can only agree with Bluebelle, age only only becomes a problem if you make it a problem. I've been seeing someon off & on who's also 14 years older than myself, the age difference has never been an issue.

All the best of luck to you,

i was married to a guy 15yrs older than me for 16yrs, at first was fine problems began to come when i

still wanted us to go out and socialize and he didnt, think it depends on individuals but depending if it is

long term there are things to consider

Hi Bumblez!

No it shouldnt be a problem unless u mke it one! Once he treats u rigth and respects u..who cares what age he is? DO u get on? Have stuff in common? Could u tell him anything? Can u trust him? Those things are much more important than the age on your next birthday card.

In saying that though make sure that if it is longterm u feel the same about children etc......

I was once with a guy 15 years older....i really like him but we only ended up going ot a couple of times...because he used to sometimes treat me like a child and it really annoyed me.....but once u are treated as an equal.....its fine!!

Hope this helps!!

Whom do you call a good Man?

Most of the men I date are older. The age gap has never been a problem. It's all a matter of how we connect and how much we have in common and I think that's true for anyone you date no matter what their age is.

Hey there...speaking from experience on the subject - age is but a number (I'm 46 and have dated almost exclusively in the late 20 to early to mid 30's range since I've been single). It's more lifestyle and activity level that inspires a true connection. If you share similar interests and a common ground on things you like to do or enjoy - then the age difference can be literally a non factor. If one person is simply acting a certain way to accomodate the other and hence temporarily hide the potential stumbling blocks of the age difference, then in time those items will become an issue and the gap may lead to challenges. But thru experience I've found younger women to be more active, more inclined to want to do things, dine out, enjoy what life has to offer. That's not to say this quality is exclusive to the younger women at all - but women my age seem to be more home-bodies, or less inclined to enjoy the same things I enjoy - hence the natural tendency to be attracted to and date younger women. It's all about how you feel when you're with him and the bond you share - age shouldn't be a factor in that equation if the connection is truly special. ;-)
