Good morning to all wave

Need some input today. I met this wonderful gentel man on this site, spoke with him almost every day,we have so much in commond that i wonder if this could be true! He wants to meet soon,but the problem i'm having is that he thinks we are not compatible enough because of our age difference. He has a 22 year advance on me.

Anyone with advise? help

Age is nothing but a number. If you have so much in common and really hit it off why should age matter. What is the worse thing that can happen, you meet and realize that you aren't compatible. It wasn't meant to be, but who knows it may be. You may even just end up being friends, and you can never have too many friends.

age is numbers in which to calculate time

when two people are adults and get along, never look at age...I never do and has always worked for me

meet him, don't worry and just have fun

Those are my thoughts also....made a slew of friends on here banana but why is it that men can't accept the fact that a younger woman might just be interested in them?

Hi kid, I used to know a young lady that had a crush on me, and I thought, age was just a number. She was 25 and I was in my early 40s at the time, but most of my family and friends thought she was too young for me, one even referred to me as "p*dophile" which really hurt, so I had at first dismissed her, said thanks, but no thanks. She kept sending me emails, and wanting to chat on msn. Finally I gave in, and agreed to meet her for coffee. That ended up with an almost 4 year relationship. We're no longer together, and haven't been for sometime now, but that was not because we broke up or anything. A major part of her family was killed, and she returned home to the states. She knew I couldn't go to the states, so we parted, as friends. Now there is a woman on here, this site, that I would really like to get to know, and she is appox 2-3 years older than myself, and know what ? I don't care, I still think she's a hottie, and if I ever make my way to her end of the woods, I'm hopeful she'll agree to have a coffee with me.
So my thought now is.. go for the gold, or you'll always wonder what "may" have happened..if you don't try.

Thanks Brew01,,will get together with him in the next little while,,We spoke today,and his concern is that he has a son my age, and what will he say to him when he introduces me.

I'm going with my heart on this one, no matter what anyone has to say. I look for the person,not the package they come in.

Thanks for all your help on this guys handshake

My 2 cents - If the person is comfortable this is good. But unfortunately situation like this is stressful if family gets involved
it is the nuber #1 reason it does not work out dunno

But if no family involvement it could be a healthy relationship dunno

As long as your both in the legal age then I don't see a problem with it. Its no one's business except you and his. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You just follow your heart and see where it goes.

I think you will both know once you meet in person and solidify that foundation you both started to build together.

Good Luck! cheers :o)

I think if you're OK with it, and he's OK with it, there shouldn't be a problem. Age is just a number, yes, but I personally couldn't see myself being attracted to anyone "old" in my opinion. Age for me is a turn off, if it's more then 5 years older. Maybe I haven't met any interesting older men, I don't know, but right now age does bother me.

I say go for it. Who cares what anyone else thinks as long as the two of you are happy. Wish there was more of that around here. For some reason I can't even get 40 somethings to give me a second glance. Only those 50 and up will give me the time of day. sigh sigh sigh

Hello Gorgeous,

I have dated older men a couple of time and u r completely right about the reactions u got.

From my experience it all has to do whit path of life and the obstacles u had to go trough, they usually think they have been trough more then we have.

If you can get him to understand that maybe your life was harder then he thinks or if he can understand that different experiences change people in different ways and it has givin u the chance to be able to interact with older men like him...

I truly hope this can help at least a little , sorry for my english (I'm french).

Best of luck to u!
