Age and Relationship
| Mon, 08-16-2004 - 3:00am |
I'm 23 and have recently been hanging out with a guy who is 33. Now I hear around my age, that age gaps don't mean as much. I do know he wants to have more than just dating with me-- relationship. I've never dated anyone over 28 before. I'm just wondering am I freaking out a bit too much over age, since yes he is in a different position in life. I'm sitll a college student. However, we both havn't been married or have kids. We do get along good too an dhave fun together. Of course he's more mature but hmm... dunno... Advice anyone? Thanks.

Pianoguy was once married to a lady who was more than 20 years younger than he! But you know something? He loved her very much...and while our time together was brief...it was a "life experience" that won't be forgotten. .
If you think you can accept the fact that the man whose company you enjoy will turn 40 and 50---10 years earlier than you will---and that there will probably be a few changes in his habits, attitude (along with a physical limitation or two)--what's the problem?
The point of ANY relationship is to be with the person you LOVE and who LOVES YOU BACK, right? But if you're bothered by what others are thinking---or if you're insecure about your own feelings...just continue to have fun together! Don't even talk about the possibility of having "rugrats" together!
Hugs and good wishes to you both from...
Pianoguy
If you make any decisions please share!!
But in the end, it all comes down to how you feel. If you have reservations, then maybe you need to re-examine the relationship. Maybe it was fun for a little change, but seriously you're not ready for that type of committment. Be honest with yourself when weighing this decision. Don't go into a relationship just because HE wants one.
