To date a 22 year old?

[Joovy]

I'm 33... He's bloody gorgeous and we've really hit it off. Plus he's wealthy as fuck.

Girlalmighty 22 year olds want sex so do 32 year olds and 42 year olds and 52 year olds I could go on

Surely everyone who isn’t asexual wants sex?

Go for it Op!! I dont go for younger myself but do for older. Current by is 15 years older! Also dated someone who is now 49, im 31. His kids are closer in age to me but it was fun!

Im 47 and lovely dp is 34. He's got no money but has everything else i value in spades. We are both very happy.
Go for it the age gap is nothing.

He won't be able to have children with you. That might be an issue.
I'm 40 and can't imagine wanting to date a man that young.

11 years isn't a great deal, he won't be your carer as other posters are saying but its just the maturity levels.

But I'm just thinking back to when I was 22 and the lads who I was seeing..

.. not sure I could be arsed with that now and I'm 29.

He won't be able to have children with you.

Why would a 22 year old be unable to have a child with a 33 year old?

He won't be able to have children with you. That might be an issue.

Why wouldn't he? Genuinely confused. Are you saying 22 year old men cannot father children or that 33 year old women cannot be mothers?

Do what makes you happy!

Sorry I thought OP was in her 50s. I must have read it wrong.

No worries it's Sunday night Cat

Amen to this, all that matters is the relationship between the two of you, if he makes you happy then ignore everyone else. If you have an issue with it and can't get past the 'age gap' then it'll never work!
I just married my DH and he's 8 years younger than me, he makes me happier than I every thought possible, and now we are expecting our first baby...ignore the critics, people will always judge, but they don't know you're relationship you do!

I meant in my experience they only want sex, or they are unhealthily obsessed and immature.

Only wanting sex, what a terrible situation to be in

I mostly want to know what he’s done to become wealthy as fuck at 22.

I dated a few of millionaires-before-they-were-30 - when I was also in my 20s, a size 8, fond of a party and living in London-

I have to say, they were all, to a man, arseholes. Fun, great dinners, good wine, loads of drugs and grand gestures - but they were arseholes.

I wish you well in your free Michelin dining experiences, but take my advice and don’t look for more than that.

I'm 25 and wouldn't date a 22-year-old!

DP was 32 when we got together and I was 45. Been blissfully happy for 4.5 years and getting married next year. Age gap has never been a problem.

Age gaps aren't a big problem when both are young....so 22 and 33 no issue.

Problem is when one is 33 and one is 55. 55 is old so that's when the 33 yr old would notice and resent it. That's when it's a mistake.

The OP is 33, her guy is 22.
When she’s 55 he will be 44 not 33!

But even if your maths was right and the OP aged at double the rate of the rest of us on the planet, why would her boyfriend suddenly notice and resent it?!

What an odd thing to say.

FYI 55 is not old

"I'm 25 and wouldn't date a 22-year-old!"

That's so limiting, and assumes 22 year olds are all the same. I met 22yo (now) DH on my 25th birthday. He was way more mature and grounded than me! We've been together almost 20 years and he's still the kindest, most honorable man I know.

Why do people care? Both adults, both consenting. If two adults are unattached and find each other attractive, it doesn't matter what age/size/gender/race they are, they're free to get together.

Go for it

My DH is 11 years younger than me and we've been together 18 years and married 12. It may not last but you never know... We thought we'd hate each other by the time our 1st daughter was born and I told him to go and leave us to it..... He never did and we now have dd2 and still as happy 😁 He didn't have any money though!!!

My ds is 29 and his wife is 41, they have kids aged 4/2.. blissfully happy.

Age gains run In our family. My one sil is 55 and her dh is 70 other sil is 63 and her dh is honestly 93! They have been together 34 years. It’s actually lovely
