So whats the general consensus on age differences in relationships? I have recently found myself in an interesting predicament [huge understatement emoticon]... I am 30, and am teetering on the edge of what could be a serious relationship with a 51 year old. Half of me is freaking out about the numbers. The other half of me doesn't see the age in him, as he is just fabulous. We laugh alot, share similar interests, and other people have commented on how perfect we are for each other. So, I wonder if I am a sad old bag who is older than her years, or is he just a typical bloke who has yet to actually grow up??!! There's a definite chemistry. Nothing has happened yet, beyond spending time together through circumstances this summer. Yet I feel potential, I think he does too, and mutual friends and family have all raised their eyebrows and my mum even made comments along the lines of "dum dum de dum". I mean, we really are scarily perfect together. He's the opposite to what I have always sought out. And he appeared in my life less than six months ago. I just don't know whether to go with my heart or my head on this one...
Does age really matter??? What if he is The One??? God, I am so confused. I need Mumsnet Wisdom, by the bucketful please
