I do not think it is impossible.

But you are still very young and will go thru many changes in the next 5 - 10 years. So it may not last long term.
However, there are no guarantees in any relationship. Even if you are close in age there are no guarantees.

I say just enjoy yourself and see what happens!

Good Luck!!

I don't think age matters at all. I prefer older men myself. I agree with one. Enjoy yourself for sure. Just see where it goes :)

Gotta agree with the smart ladies above.
As long as youre both okay with the age difference, dont look too much into it - otherwise youll only create unnecessary complications all on your own.
If it works out, awesome - if at some point you decide your lives are headed in two different directions, then thats cool too. Just enjoy what you have for right now :)

No. I think PHYSICAL HEALTH, INTELLECTUAL AFFINITY and SPIRITUALITY differences are more of an issue. As long as you two are (currently) on the same page about those three things, I say you're great, enjoy it, rock on. You're rather mature for your age, and he's a young kid at heart. You two sound like a good match.

I am dating someone 9 years younger and we have a great time razzing each other about it. For example, technology/pop culture references, etc. I'm 37 and he's 28, he missed out on all the fun 80s shows and music. :o)

Go for it and enjoy life while you can!

Great, Turd! Yes, personality and a sense of humor helps greatly with these differences.

Thanks, Kool! If we all could laugh at least once a day, we all would be happier people. That's my personal opinion.

I'm 9 years older then ex. We were together 26 years before he got bored and decided to move on.

When I was 21 I dated someone who was 45. It lasted for a year. I got bored. Friends and interests varied to much. We realized that after the infatuation faded (about 8 months into the relationship)

I dated someone around my own age when I was in my mid 20s. that might have worked out, but he had a heart attack and passed away.

So, I don't think age matters. Getting to know the person and having like interests helps to form a bond.

Wondering if a relationship will work, questioning the age difference and using the words mature and wanting to settle down don't seem like the relationship is there yet.
Sounds like you may be in the beginning stages. Give it time, let love blossom - or not.. Time will tell. What's your rush?

No, it's definitely not impossible. Does he share your aspirations of wanting to settle down? Like Viv said, be patient, give your friendship time to blossom, and see what happens. If he is as dedicated and committed to making this work as you are, then with time, a mutual desire to make it work, communication, trust, understanding and love, your relationship can evolve into something much greater. You might impress yourself. Age doesn't have to be an issue. Good luck.

as long as your ok with it and it feels right for both of you but be honest with your new feelings for each other... I recently have been having a relationship with a 28 yr old and I at first thought it would be a problem but we are both fine so far, now I am 53 but I think the reson that i'm not having a problem with it is I have never had kids so I don't have the mentle block of 'she is old enough to be my daughter' but It's beautiful because it is, WE, and I don't think of her as anything as a beautiful lady and when I was married my wife was 14 yrs older than me.
