One of my friends is married to a man who is 30 years older than her. He looks a lot younger and is quite energetic. They've been married for 10 years now and are like best friends. The age gap bothers her sometimes though, but that's mostly because she feels like she's missed out on something.

He's 64?!

Idk.... That is pretty old for you.

Normally I would think...who cares what others think. Well, I still think that but he may not be around that long and you may just get your heart broken.

Then again... He could live to be 100! Who knows.

I am at a loss here. I don't think ethnic background should be in the equation.

All I can say is that while there are plenty of successful relationships with a large age difference, I am extremely wary of the long-term issues. I would date - and have dated - much younger women (almost as large an age difference as OP), but would not consider a long-term relationship because of those issues. It doesn't seem fair to her that she'd be - eventually, very probably - stuck with taking care of someone with health issues, etc., where a relationship of equals starts falling apart. And it wouldn't be fair to me to be dumped because of it. Too much potential for a lose-lose scenario, and not enough for win-win, IMO.

Yellow = caution.

You're new here and started a post which is a bit controversial. Sometimes people come here and start a topic with their first post and they are never to be heard from again. Sometimes fake stories are posted. I have called out a few but I do not think you are one of them. Thanks for posting for what looks to me to be a genuine public profile. That tells me a lot.

My take is since this man is no longer a client you should be free to pursue whatever you want. It's a fact that most relationships do not last, and that goes the same if you were going out with someone your own age.

That said I say go for it. He could give you the best years of your life should you all happen to get past dating. Give it a shot. If the age difference proves a difficult issue for you all to overcome you don't have to stay together, and it may not get past just dating. Life is short so do what makes you happy.

Welcome to the board and I hope to hear more from you.

I actually edited that because reading some of these responses I do not think "all" is true. At first I said that too. Then I took it back.

She sounds like a nice lady to me.
