A 23 year old guy with a 30 year old female??

[taliesin238]

Is this a silly age gap?? Im 30 in december and im really falling for a guy who is only 23!! Is it worth giving it a go?? Does the age really matter?? We seem to be on the same mind wave as each other and i honestly think he could be someone really special!! Should it matter what my family think either?

[ELVIS68]

No,..... go for it...... if you are both happy with the age gap..."7 years"...If he can handle the toy boy comments etc that i`m sure he`ll get, good luck to you both

[taliesin238]

ELVIS68 i love you!! THank you that was just what i wanted to here!!!! xxxx

[ELVIS68]

Steady on..I was only saying what I thought lol

hi there taliesin238! back in january i started seeing a guy who is 22 (i'm 35) i was on abit of a rebound thing, so that didn't help the situation much either really, i had more issues about the age gap thing than he did, it made it worse in my eyes because he is the son of my childminder! his parents weren't bothered as i was still 'young' enough to be their daughter and my parents were happy if i was happy.... but i looked at the bigger picture - 10 years down the line - 45 year old with a 32 year old?? he might think i was over the hill maybe?? anyway i broke it off with him and got got with my 40 year old .... but still receive texts from him desperately wanting me to reconsider having a relationship with him... i've avoided returning any texts as i'm in a right state of deliberation...better the devil you know or........ get hurt in a few years time when he finds a younger model??? ummm

you only have one life and you should experience all that you can. only you know how u feel about this guy, whats the harm in giving it a go? its better to have loved than not. if u don't u go with it u may haev regrets down the years. all the best..

My sis was 29 when she met her b/f then 22. She's now 37 and they have been happily married for 18 months and have a beautiful baby boy. I say go for it!

[mycats]

Thats not a big gap, my ex is 17 years oler that me - go for it, good luck

[JoolsTwo]

My Husband is 6 years younger than me. We have been happily married for 38 years now. So no, if you get on then the age gap is immaterial.

[nuoyg]

my great aunt is about 25 years older than her hub and they've been married for years!

[cruella]

Hi,
I am eight years older than my Husband.
We never think of the age difference. Have been married for over four years and could not be happier.
Go for it Girl!

[~Wingnut~]

Go for it!!! Sod what others think! If your both happy, on the same way length, love and respect each other then that's all that matters! Don't miss out on this just because of what others may say.
My hubby is 16 years older me and I'm glad I didn't listen to what other's thought as we would have missed out on all that we have been through and our 2 wonderful children wouldn't be here either :o)

Age is just a number.

the biggest gap between you is probably right now. Does he want to go clubbing while you stay home knitting? If you want a child in the next five years or so, will he? If you can sort this sort of issue out now, seven years will seem less and less of a gap as you go on.

As for your family, depends how you get on with them. Are you going to be devastated if they disapprove? Or can you just politely point out that it's your life, and still stay on good terms with them all? imho, this isn't a factor you should be worried about when you've reached 30, but it's really over to you.

I know it's the other way around but I'm 21 and I've just started seeing a 38 year old man.....he's only 3 years younger than my mum but at the end of the day I'm happy!

Give it ago what have you got to lose, like you said it could be something special!

Have fun!!!

Sx

[leewayne]

Go for it!!! 8 years between me and my partner,still going strong after 4 years,why not go for it gal!

[taliesin238]

Thank you everybody!! You have all been really supportive!!xx

[emaleigh]

I'm 32 and my husband is 40 this year and we've been happily married for 7 years now, been together for 9 years, so that means i was 23 when we met, so i say go for it, if its meant to be it'll last and if it doesn't u'll have had some fun

[CactusButtus]

Taliesin238, let me assure you that your age gap is far from being a problem... if anything, the gap between my partner and I would be a problem... he and I are 35 years apart... I guess that will make ya feel a lot better. LOL!

[Oneeyedvic]

I'm male and 33 my wife is 57 in 3 weeks time.

We have been together 11 years and married for 4. She has two children, a son aged 28 and a daughter 25.

It was slightly awkward at first but once the family realise you are serious it does not / should not matter.

[confused79]

Go for it, im 6 years older than my fella makes you feel yonger too, being able to pull a younger bloke!!! lol
