Older Guy
Hi
I am considering going into a realtionship with a much older guy. I am 27, he is 41. We have been friends for 3 and a half years. He was in a relationship but is now single. We are very close and have a fantastic friendship although because he was in a realtionship I never really got to know his friends and visa versa. He is caring, loving and we get on so well - we are always laughing and in so many ways he is so good for me, we are very compatiable.
Its just the age thing. I don't know that if I go into a relationship I would be fully ok with it. As I don't know all his friends I worry what they would think of me. I worry I would feel young and stupid, in experienced in life if I was with them. My family would prob go nuts if I started seeing him. I know age is just a number. I just don't know what to do. If it bothers me a bit now is it even fair of me to even consider getting into a relationship, when it could cause problems further down the line.
Is anyone else in a big age gap relationship? What are your thoughts - feelings? I would be interested to know.

I was in a relationship not to long ago with an even bigger age gap. I fell head over heals for this man and he did for me. I still sit and wonder about him and if I was right walking away. Please if he makes you happy and you have fun together then do it. Life is to short for what ifs.
I agree with GRose, it really depends of the way you feel with him.
I faced the same wonderings a few months ago, and decided to take my shot on it, it has been above all pretty good, your friends and family will accept him as long as he makes you happy and gives you all the love that they know you deserve. So if thats your situation really it is not that big gap!.
