I've been dating this man for 2 years now and it's great. He is in his 60's and I'm in my 20's. When we go out on dates people stare at us or think that he's my father or grandfather. Even though our age gap is pretty big we don't notice it when we're together. We have a lot in common and we learn from each other. Lately we've been talking about marriage and starting a family of our own. My only drawback is that when our children are in their teens or 20's they won't have their father and I'd be a widow in my 40's or 50's. I really want to know if I should move forward with the relationship or if we should just go out separate ways.
I'm a guy that prefers dating younger women. But 60s and 20s is a huge gap that I wouldn't do. That is bigger then most father daughter age gaps. For him its like winning the lottery I'm sure. He's only going to be around for another 15-20 years. If you get married and have kids that are healthy he will be near the end of his life by the time they are graduating from high school.
Does he have enough money to take care of you when he's gone? As long as you go in with your eyes open, being a young widow, children losing their father early and taking care of him at old age when you're still young, nothing should stop you. I think in most cases, people think they are ready to make these sacrifices until they are actually required.

I would never have a child with a man in his 60's.
Besides being the height of selfishness for the reasons you mentioned above, you are taking too much risk that your child would have autism, which is associated with older men and less viable sperm.
We both like history, sports we watch them a lot together, the same authors, sometimes the same kind of music but all and all we just have a lot of fun when we're together.
Thats an amazingly far age gap. The guy is old enough to be your grandad.
That said, he could be very fit, very active, and I know some older guys. There was a former F-15 pilot who always had a new 20 year old girlfriend every year in Florida.
I don't see this lasting long term, unless he is very wealthy. But hey, if you love him, and he loves you, do your thing.
