Age gap

Hi all

I’ve met a really amazing guy. He’s going through the exact situation I am with my ex, we have so much in common and he treats me so well.
The thing is, he is 25 and I am 34, I don’t know why but it is bothering me a little. I never thought I would be in this predicament Lol
I suppose I’m asking if this is too much of an age gap, or is there anyone else seeing a guy 9/10 years younger and what is your experience from this
TIA

If he is making you happy go for it...... it is not as if he is 16 and you 25.......most people I know have a younger guy....

I don't think the age gap matters between two adults. In any case it's all new, you aren't planning on setting up house together. You both may find a relationship between you extremely beneficial.

Go for it.

My husband is 11 years older - met when I was 23 and he was 34

She never been an issue!! We went travelling together, moved country together and have a lot of the same interests!! Go to festivals and stuff together every year.

Only thing is that he’s a bit of an older dad now which doesn’t bother him but sometimes he wishes he had kids younger - but that’s it really !

We had a baby when I was 32 (hes 43)

That's really not a significant age gap. The only issues I find with age gaps is if you're at different stages in life, with different goals etc, but if you get on then there's nothing wrong with it - age honestly is just a number!

It would be for me. Couldn't think of anything worse. But if it's OK for you go for it. The fact your asking says you're not though...
