So I'm dating a guy ten years older then me. Dose anyone think the age gap is too large between two people for it to work?

Anything can work if both parties are dedicated to making it so. There is no -if- at that point, it's -when-.

No not at all, if he was over 50 yes, If you know what you want and he also, in a relationship, y'all should be alright.

How do you see it 10 years from now?

I started a LDR with a woman when I was 34 and she was 42. Now I am 43 and she is 51. We are still in love and always will be. Even if we have to die alone.

My son's dad is 17 years older than me. It would have worked if he didn't have a love affair with his money. Money is more important to him than anything else in the world. If you 2 click and have some of the same interests and you can be friends first and foremost, it can work. I wish you the best of luck and just try not to worry about the age thing. Age is not the issue...it's what is in the heart that counts!

Ma'am, I said before that I believe after 30, age becomes more or less irrelevant.

And I know of some dear, dear folks who lived next door to my mom for awhile who had more than 20 years difference in their ages. (They got married when she was 17 and he was 38 - To compensate, they took 10 years off his age and added 10 years to hers on the marriage license.lol) And they were happy together for 45 years until she lost him to cancer.

If you're crazy about this guy and he's crazy about you, then 10 years don't amount to squat - Add 5 to yours and subtract 5 from his and you're the same age! Just like Mr.& Mrs. Bell. Love is to precious to allow it to be screwed up by something like mathematics!

Good luck to you!


...Don...

sorry sweetie but I am gonna be a stick in the mud!
I dated 2 men (NOT AT THE SAME TIME..!!!) who were just over 10 years older than me......
It was fun,no doubt but I found that they were a little too possesive and always wanting me to spend time with them and not my friends....not so much in the beginning but afterwards.....
I will tell you that I did have a great time with them but I found that they slowed me down..... I guess I just picked the wrong apples? who knows!???
Just the same, I AM wishing you lots of luck......you JUST may be one of the lucky ones!
cheers cheers

I have been wondering about this kind of thing too. How much would someone have in common with a person ten years older? Wouldn't the older person always worry about the younger leaving for someone closer in age?

Question is...

Do YOU think it's to much.

My opinion has no bearing.

All of my aunts were 10 to 15 years younger than all of my uncles. My own mother and father was the only couple in our entire family who were very close to being the same age.

My mother had 9 brothers, they all married women 10 to 15 years younger than they were. My father had 5 sisters the all married men who were 10 to 15 years older them they were.

That was back near the end of WW2 which may have played a roll. Maybe all the younger guys were killed in the war? dunno
