big age difference


Question Posted Tuesday December 19 2006, 3:30 am

So there's this guy that's 29 and I'm really attracted to him, both physically and emotionally. We can talk for long periods of time without getting bored and we talk about anything and everything. He's funny, charming, polite, smart, handsome, responsible, everything I look for in a guy. We get along really well and seem to really click. We have fun doing whatever we do. The thing is, I'm 18. I think that's the only thing that's standing in the way of us taking this a step further. I personally don't have a problem with the age difference, but I think he does. What should I do? I really like him and can honestly say that I'm falling in love with him.

I do not see anything wrong with an age difference, but if it is a problem for him, take things slowly. I was in a similar position and I just had to wait it out. He eventually realized that he was also in love with me, and the age differenc is not such a big deal. I hope this helps.

If you two really like eachother as much as you two say you do, an age difference shouldn't be that big of a deal. Sure it's somewhat of an age gap, but you're not breaking any laws, it's all perfectly legal, and like I said, age just shouldn't matter. There's some people with 2 year age differences, some with 10, some with 20. The only thing that matters is finding that special person and enjoying your time with them.

I would have a serious talk with him and just let him know how you feel about him. Ask him about the age difference, and if it bothers him, and ask him why it does. Then just let him know your thoughts and opinions on it. I'm not sure how long you two have been seeing eachother, but if it's a somewhat new relationship, sure, it might be a little strange to him at first, and hopefully over time if he really cares and likes you, he'll get adjusted to it, and it'll no longer linger in his thoughts of an age difference.

I hope I helped.

I can understand. LOVE DOES NOT SEE AN AGE. Always remember that. My boyfriend is 21 and I'm 14, actually we are engaged. When we first started dating we both had an issue with the age, but after a while you just forget about it. I think that if you love him and he obviously has feelings for you, then just tell him your feelings and all. Work through the age difference. Good Luck :]

If you feel that your attracted to him you should tell him how you feel. Nothing in the rule book says you can't date younger women if they're 18 or over. Find out how he feels about the idea by jokingly suggesting it to him and if he's serious then go for it. o^-^o Hope I could help.
