Does age really matter?
Hi, guys and gals!
Bottom line: I have a new neighbor. He goes to the same church as me as well, and though I have not met him -- my aunt/uncle, and neighbor (she owns the house he moved into, which is right behind her house) know him very well and he is very sweet, good looking, etc. I could tell that from a far at church, however, I haven't gotten to introduce myself yet.
I am wondering, considering he is 33 and I am turning 19, is that a big deal? He is the marrying type, very clean cut and so on. I am not for partying and all of that, so that wouldn't be a problem. But still, do you think this age difference will make a difference?
Thanks!
Ashley- P.S. ANY help is appreciated.

I'm 19 and my boyfriend is 29...and surprise! we are really happy together. It did take some getting used to the age difference, but to be honest, dating an older guy is awesome.
Get introduced first and beyond that, get to know him! I was really hesitant about getting too involved in the relationship so I dated him for 3 months before deciding to committ to him.
Make sure that he doesn't pressure you to settle down if you aren't ready!
Good luck!

Age is just a number; it really does not matter what other people think. What matters is what the two people involved think.
At the moment though I think you have put the cart in front of the horse and may be mistaking infatuation for something it is not and may never be. You need to put things in there proper place and perspective.
Start by getting introduced to this man. Then see if there is a mutual interest and see where it goes. If there is a mutual interest that can grow into a love affair then the age difference again becomes jut a number.

Its always going to be an issue. The key is, will it be a big issue or a small issue.There is a lot of life experience in between 19 and 33 that can shape a person, so that puts you two further apart mentally. But that doesn't mean its out of the question. I guess you'll never really know unless you find out for yourself, so find a way to introduce yourself and see what happens from there. But don't be hurt if it turns out he can't see past your age. That's normal too. Good luck.
