Is he too young?

[Ruminmycoffee]

I'm 40 (f) Wibu to date a man in his late twenties (28 ) do you think he's too young? Too much of an age gap ?

Enjoy it 😍

Really ? You don't think he's too young ?

Go for it! If it doesn't work out, fine. It's not like he has proposed marriage. Has he?

I’m also 40. I say go for it.

My son's that age and I just can't imagine him dating some who's 40, sorry!

If you like him date him. Why not?

He's quite a long way into adulthood. If he were 21 and you 33 I'd hesitate. But he's a proper grown up.

As long as you know there's potential for it not to last! He may want marriage and kids in the future... Do you? Have you already done that and don't want to do it again. But then he might not want those things and you will be great together. You can date and see how things go.... Doesn't mean wedding bells as you are only thinking about it.

I think 28 is quite a grown up, it’s not like he’s 19. I think go for it

Well I'd be wary of he wants kids and you don't want to try but beyond that he's an actual adult, go for ot

It depends if you are looking for the sand things. It isn’t the age per say but the expectations from the relationship that need to be compatible

Op might want kids but at 28 he's not too young to want them too 🤷‍♀️

Say they fall head over heels and are married two years from now 😍

Sorry Op hope you don't mind me projecting 😁

It's fine

He has 2 children I don't have any

Go for it but of course consider if you want the same things in the future before letting it get serious (if that’s what you want)

Nope, have fun!!

I don’t think he’s too young. Had you been. 30 and he 18 then absolutely

I like the half age plus 7 rule of thumb for determining acceptable age differences. Which would make your acceptable dating age range of 27 - 66.

So go for it!

Go for it. Just thinking about the sex makes me feel a bit jealous :) :)

When I'm 50 he will be 38 isn't that just wrong 😳

As long as you're both happy, it isn't wrong. A 38 to woman with a 50 to man would barely ellicit a comment. In fact one of my good friends has that exact gap right now. Happily married.

When your 50, he will be almost 40. That doesn't sound bad.

When I'm 50 he will be 38 isn't that just wrong

No. Why?

I'm 38...My dh is 48...its fine. If he was 50 it would be fine too.

Nah shag him

Op you sound less convinced than any of the rest of us.

If you don't fancy it, don't do it :-)
