Not necessarily, it can work well depending on the two people involved. However, if they're from a foreign land to yours, beware and proceed with caution. Pay attention to red flags, don't think you're being oversensitive.Good luck!

Most relationships are doomed. At their respective ages the diffirence isn't all that spectacular.
Next question...

Aww thanks. He's not that faraway but I'm just wary that these younger guys might be looking for a cougar or something. He seems sincere but I doubt anything longterm will come from it. Im so afraid of getting hurt but I guess life's a risk. But maybe I'd be better off with someone my own age?? Dilemma is I like him, just don't want to make fool of myself. Thanks so much for making me feel bit better bout it. Cheers Girl

Personally I think it would be going against the odds, a person in their 20s is usually in a completely different place in their lives to someone in their 30s.
As we get older I dont think ten or twelve years is much of a gap though.

Interesting.....
...certainly would depend entirely on the individuals involved....and mid twenties...one would already have a clearer picture of what he is after...
...having said that....I married my ex when I was 31 and she was 20....five years down the line we discovered that our priorities were heading in different directions....and amicably went our own ways....
...and also relevant what Dru said...cultural differences only complicate those brought about by age....my ex was British, a Londoner.....and a few years stint of small island life proved strenuous to her.....understandable so...
...having said all this....I would still contend that if both are ready to have a go at it.....why not?

Thanks Kalimera, to be honest, I probably am wasting my time. Just typical I like him but years younger. I think the gap is big myself, but Ill just see what happens, hey prob won't last beyond a week ANYWAYS. Thanks for the insight.

It really depends what you want from the relationship, I have dated younger guys but the issue of children came up and I am past that stage so that was the end of that.
On the other hand if you are not looking for anything serious it could be ok.
I reckon the fact that you are asking the question means you really know the answer though.
