Is a guy that's 38 too old for a girl that's 25 1/2?

   
A guy that I'm interested in is older than me, more like 38 and I am 25, will be 26 in December. Does the age difference matter?

Answers:

1. nope

2. no i do not think so, my gf is 27 and i am 39

3. not if the 25 1/2 is mature enough for the 38 year old

4. nope, if it's love then it's love. Let's see.. he was 13 when you were born so that makes him not old enough to be your dad. I see nothing wrong with it.

5. that is up to YOU...nobody else..YOU have to decide whether THAT is critically important to YOU...our opinions should not influence you.. if you like the guy..who cares what we think??

6. no, as long as you like him,then it doesnt matter

7. No. If you like each other - go for it!

8. It is a big difference but if you are on the same maturity level i dont think it would matter.

9. personally i think there should be no more than 5 or 6 years difference but if you want him take him

10. Age is only a number. It's only wrong if you were underage. I have 2 aunts who's husbands are 10 yrs older than they are. I am older than my bf by around 6 yrs.

11. it matters if he's married already, check it out before you believe him. Good luck

12. Does it matter to you? If you don't have a problem with it and he doens't have a problem with it and you two have found things in common then who cares what everyone else thinks? Then again if you didn't care then you wouldn't be asking the question!

13. at ur age i dont think so....not that ur old..but ur mature. but he might be in a diff stage. does he know how u feel? if he is okay with it then go for it

14. no

15. What is a number if like the man?

16. depends on how you look at it. I mean in this day and age, how old you are doesn't really matter that much as it used to. Age difference doesn't matter as long as the aspect of the relationship doesn't change b/c of it.

17. Honey when it comes to love, age does not matter. And at that age men are even better than ever!! Until they reach age 55. So go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

18. No, it depends on the maturity level of both parties. My husband and I were 33 years apart, it never mattered to us. Just smile if someone says grandparent or what not if you have a length wise year like we did. He has passed due to a heart condition, but we always discussed that it didnt bother us. IF it bothers you, then I say find something else.

19. I think its perfectly fine...at least he isn't old enough to be your father or grandfather...thats when it gets a little creepy...but even then if you are interested I say go for it. Its hard enough to find someone interesting there is no sense in limiting yourself. Plus there is a lot of pros to dating an older man. He more than likely has a steady job and he is closer to being mature than a guy your age.

20. at 26 youre a woman. men and women go together.

21. Yes, think about children and when you are older, he will be ancient

22. I would say that no the age difference is not an issue, age is really just a number. However the maturity level of the person is what will matter the most. This goes for both people involved.

23. Girl i have a friend she is 20 and is engaged to a 31 year old. My grand mother was 24 my grand pa 35 when they got married and still together (74- 84) Some people are more mature than they are and are more comfortable dating older guy. Dont worry if you like him go for it age shouldn't be a probleme unless you were under age. Good luck

24. yes. You might be ready to settle down, I don't think she is. Age a has a big factor in it. you have expirenced 12 years more stuff then she have. there is a lot that she is going to want to do. She might not stay loyal over time.

25. No not at your age. i was 26 when i met a man who was 36. 10 years difference at first i was just like you. I thought he was way to old for me, guess what i was wrong. We have been married for 9 years now. Love is blind if the age difference doesn't bother you or him, then i say go for it, you may just find your soul mate, I did. Good Luck.

26. No, it dosen't... as long as it dosent' matter to you... Your an adult and can make your own choices upon who you want to go out with... and if this is who it is, so be it... Enjoy yourself! It's more important they you both are on the same emoitional level and on the same page in life...

27. Thats the worst thing at least for your kids. Your kids are about 15 year old and their father will be over 50. isn't it sad? I have had that situation with my parents, its just very sad. Dont do that.

28. The rule of thumb is half of the oldest person age plus seven should be the minimum age of his/her partner. He is 38, half is 19, plus seven is 26. So you are on the border.
