is there such a thing as too old?

[the_original_duchess]

i have been chatting to a friend of mine, and he asked me out on a date.
only tihng is, he is 36 and im 22. i am fine with the age difference, but im worried what others might say. like my family for example.
do you think that there is too much of an age gap there?
i mean its only a date, so i dont think it really matters, but would be interested in hearing others opinions.
cheers, Danielle

When you're an adult, age is just a number in my opinion :):yes:

I only see it as a problem when you are talking large age gaps when minors are involved (ie 14yo and 28 yo etc Male or female minors)

If you are friends - and don't see the age as an issue then it doesn't matter. Hope you have a lovely time :) You need a nice night out.

I dont think age matters once both are over 18yrs of age.. women mature younger than men anyway so to go with someone your age would be like dating a child lol.

My Sister and her Dh have a 20yr age gap. They've been together over 20yrs. She was about 22 when they started dating and it hasn't been a bed of roses but nothing is. Every circumstance is different. There is only 7yrs between DH & I and sometimes that gap seems huge. So judge on person not age. And a date is only a date - not a commitment. So have fun and go from there.

Age doesn't matter - unless he was 82 then I'd think that was a bit :barf: . Sorry but that's how I think anyway.

I'd say "GO FOR IT DANIELLE" you deserve happiness/fun and to be spoiled!

I agree with the others about once you're over 18 then it's ok. If you are already friends and don't feel the age gap (or "generation" gap) then theres no problem at all.
Good luck with everything Danielle, you deserve to feel good again. :hugs:

Age is only a number

If you think its right then go for it. Dont worry what everyone else thinks. The only person you have to please is yourself!!!!
good Luck:fingerscrossed:

I was 23 and my dh was 34 when we met. Everyone felt the age difference except the 2 of us.

11 years later and 3 beautiful children we are still very happy.

I say go for it, if I had listened to everyone :ecomcity: I would have missed my wonderful man.

Good luck and have a good night:thumbsup:

As others have mentioned, age is only really an issue when minors are involved.. (or geriatrics lol)

Go For It!!

You sooooooo deserve a night out, and how flattering that must be that you've been asked out on a date! :)

Go. Enjoy yourself.
Just make sure you report back young lady! :D

As has been already said age is just a number! My DH is 14 years older than myself, when we met I was 21 and he was 35, we were two independent, mature adults living and working in Singapore. If I had met him when I was at school and 16 that would have been a lot different!:shame:

Honestly my parents weren't sure as to why I wanted to date someone 14 years older than myself. Although ultimately, they were happy as long as I was happy and to this day have never said anything negative about him or our relationship!:D

I say go for it!:thumbsup:

[Mum2Bug]

Age is just a number as far as Im concerned.

3 of my exes are 17, 19 and 20 years older than me and none of those relationships didnt work because of the age difference. They didnt work for various other reasons.

If you feel you are ready to go out on a date, then go for it. But be sure you are ready!!! You have been through a rough time lately!!

And good luck with everything!

[LittleBoysRock]

Age is just a number.... so long as your both over the age of consent! :yes:

Have a great time. :D

[Chanelc]

Age is merely a number you are an adult and and hence only maturity is what counts.
Go on a date and enjoy it !

Go for it. My sister in law was a 21 single mom to a 3 year old when she met her future husband. He is 12 years older. They got married and now have another 2 boys together. She is now 25 and he is 36.
