Big age gap

[Wantthatone]

I have been chatting to a bloke online and we're thinking about meeting up sometime in the near future, thing is here is a massive age gap between us, he is 43 and I am only 24. Is this age gap too much?

I'm not into the kind of stuff that most people my age are into (clubbing etc) and I find most blokes my own age too immature and babyish but is an 18 year age gap taking it too far?

Sorry, I'm 25 .

there is a 16 year age gap between me and dh we also met online and everybody said it wouldnt work but now we are married. we have loads in common and the funny thing is he gets on with my dad my dad hated my other bfs

I dont think age matters too much unless of course the bloke was 88 or something.I have friends who have a 16 year age gap and they are fab together.

there is a big age gap between me and dp he is 41 i am 24, we get really well and have a lovely dd together. Go with what feels right for you. We never even think of the age gap.

Hi I am 27 and my hubby 45 and we are very happy together.

Dont let the age gap but you off. Of course, there would be some diffences, but that you would get in any relationship.

Let us know how it went, good luck!!

theres 16 years between dp and i. cant be dealing with immature blokes.

anyways - always think of people, inc youself, as individuals with individual likes, dislike, hopes, dreams, habits, musical tastes; whatever.

use your loaf my dear. if he seems right for you, pursue it, if not, then dont. f*ck what other people think.

age is mind over matter...if you dont mind it dont matter!!
there is 20/21 yrs between me and dp. i also met him online and we lived in secret for 2 years because i was quite young and still living at home...when i outted us everyone was dubious at first but now 5 years on they adore him.
aslong as you get on ok and he treats you right then there is nothing wrong with it...its about who you connect with.

I have got 18 years difference between myself and DH. We got together when I was 16 and I fell pregnant by accident when I was 17. We have now been together for 8 1/2 years and have 3 children together. We got married nearly 5 years ago and I can't imagine life without him. We got together when I was so young as I grew up in a pub and met him there. If I had a pound for every person who told me I was making a mistake with him I would be a very rich women by now .

Hi wantthatone,

My partner is 38 and I'm 24. We have a son together so it can work out. Go on give it a go what u got to lose!!!

people are people. can't really generalise 'older is better' or vice versa.

fwiw, my husband is nearly 7 years younger than i am, but he is far, far more mature than all the men i dated who were older than i was - mid 30s+. and these were many .

he was 24 when we met and the first younger man i went out with.

so you just never know till you try!

Just come across this thread.

My dp is 21 and i'm 27 not a big age gap. We also met online, is going good so far. But only been afew months. But i love him to bits.

i'm 26, dh is 41 this year. causes no problems. i've always got along better with people older than me.

Go for it like everyone has said. I'm 30 and dh is 45 and we have a 3 yr old ds together. It's not age that matters, it's whether or not you like each other!

Like most of the others on here, the age gap between myself and DH never occurs to us in day-to-day life. I'm 24 and he's almost 38. Been togther for over 5 years, married for 3, and I wouldn't change a thing . Age really doesn't matter, it's compatibility that counts.

i'm 19 - dh is 35 and we are great - go for it !

I agree with the rest of these good folks! I am 21 and DP (DFiance next weekend, YAY! don't ask how I know! lol) is 36 so 15 years between us and we have a great relationship and wonderful fun together!

And 2 beautiful children to boot!
