What possible problems could arise with being with a guy that was 17 years older than you? The guy I like is 44 and I am only 27.
The problems I could already forsee are that when I am 37 he would be 55, and maybe he would start to get insecure and think I might leave him for a younger guy my age.
Also, what could a guy that age really have in common with me? He likes fishing and golf, things that bore me to death. He hates a lot of the movies and tv shows I like too. He looks old enough to be my father. And I don't think my parents would approve.
But at the same time, I REALLY like him. He's a really nice guy and makes me feel so good about myself. He has a great sense of humour and more life experience than most guys my age have. He also has a good job, and would never freeload after me.(like some bf's of mine.)
Can anyone else think of any problems that could come from this relationship? And do you think we have a chance for this to work?
Chicken_flavored_eggs answered Monday December 19 2005, 6:16 pm: Why does this have to be a forever thing? You should not go into a relationship already planning the rest of your life. That just makes it all the harder when it ends.
Is he the one for you? Who knows. You like him and he makes you happy so you should just go for it. Enjoy having him in your life. If things don't work out because of age, then at least you can say you had a good experience with him. Just have fun with him now, decide later if he is what you want.

If you like him and he likes you. thats it. and about the fact that his intrests dont intrest you! well! give it a try! this way your trying new things! and you can make him try new things! Both of you will be a source of inspiration to each other! With him you will be more mature! and will learn from his past experiences! and with you! he will get to be young again! :) as for jelousy! that depends on you right.
make him feel secure. If you both have that love for each other it shouldnt come in the way.
Parents not approving. Have they met hiM?! try that. then see how it works.
It is said that older guys normally are protective about the girls especially if they are younger! sounds good to me ! :)
Relationships have to be worked at! it can never be perfect! :) so i would say go ahead and give it a try! See if it can work out ! :)
