Hello Girls; I am new to this so please forgive my question if it has been asked before... I met a fellow on here two weekends ago . He is a complete gentleman, refined, established and a lot of fun to be with. I have seen him 3 times since we first met. My question is, we have 15 years of age difference between us. Is this too much of an age gap? Do relationships with 1-15 years difference have a hope of working? I really like this fellow and would love to see how far this goes. Please post your comments.

This has been asked before a million times, but we forgive you.

Nobody can tell you what is right or wrong for you

And most people dont care what you do either.

well if you're 32 and he is 17 that might be a problem

but if you're 32 and he is 47 that's prolly okie doke

Kinky

Ditto.

as long as both are of legal age so that "Chris Hansen" from the NBC television program "to catch a child predator" doesn't have a reason to jump from behind a curtain then it shouldn't be a problem

Just remember!! If you have a future in store, he'll peter out before too long, (sorry, no pun intended but there it is), and you are likely to be changing his Depends. LOL
Heck, 15 years is no big deal. I'd date 15 years younger at my age, but not 15 years older. I don't want to be changing his Depends too soon.

Well personally i think its up to you but allow me to bring up
the possible issues(although your lucky if you found someone like that and it can work but).

Can you see yourself staying with him when he's 55 and ur 30 will he still be attractive to you, will you be able to still enjoy eachothers company and have things in common and make sure you dont grow apart as time goes on. Find the timeless things in common because with time comes changes for you and for him. The difference in age can make it worse and it wont work if you want to go the bar or be social and shop when hes at the point he just wants to stay at home or something.

Its possible but as the younger one you have to think about it and come to term with whats down the road and if you can handle it, live for the moment with him and enjoy your time, take it slow, and atleast be aware of the changes that will inevitably happen, but you have just as good of a shot as the rest of us i think.(he also has to be aware and accept that your younger and your bound to face alot of changes in time)

(As always though, thats just my opinion i could be wrong)

"In general, these (May December) relationships tend to be more stable than other relationships because the older party tends to be patient and forgiving in a way that isn't true when dealing with your peers. The age difference tends to create a learning environment because each partner is in a different stage of life (and perhaps comes from different generational beliefs) which means that they are regularly faced with the opportunity to educate and inspire one another. These are all things that contribute to the positive end of the relationship.

On the flip side, there tend to be some power imbalances in these types of relationships. That stability can turn into a patronizing attitude that leads to resentment in the relationship. Additionally, there are a myriad of problems that being in different life stages can present. The biggest is whether and when to have children together. There are also problems with being in different career stages and having different priorities in life because of age. These are certainly problems that can be overcome but are challenges that tend to be present in the May-December romance."

Sure why not? You've only known each other for a few weeks. Might want to slow down. Also, make sure you are both in the same head space when it comes to what you want in a relationship. You may want long term, he may not or vice versa. You may want kids, he might be done with kids. Just take it day by day and see what sticks. Good luck to you.

I date women 20 years and more younger than myself all the time. It's only an issue you you want to make it one.

String him along until he's broke

And once he is broke, you may contact PATSFAN via mutual match!

That's the plan

I like your strategy.

If you feel uneasy about being seen in public with him... It is a problem. I would suggest a fellow approx 10yrs older like myself but I'm taken and I also live in Montreal X 1000

Good luck

Take your time, and do not rush into anything.If and when a few months pass you have a better idea,what both of you want.

She is a bot! Not real at all! A bot looking to rip someone off!

yeah!
