Best advice ever, and good luck with your 24 year old gap relationship. There are no rules when it comes to love.
I don't feel like a grandpa...at all...yet. In fact I look like a 30 year old.
Well, there are some rules - but I think what some of us are trying to point out to you is that this isn't love. You don't know her at all. Just keep that in mind when getting to know her if you get to know her.
Ain't using anybody for anything...not for sex anyway.
I will be dead in 2 decades? Who knew?
People really need to understand there is no "written law" when it comes to dating. It all dependes on the people involved.
I didn't say anything about sex...
nor did I say you'd be dead in two decades, you know EXACTLY what I posted.
You will likely, statistic wise, be dead a good 20 years BEFORE HER
Leaving your beloved ALL ALONE
Mod cut.
Let her date people which are her own age and level, such as my 24 year old son.
Allow her a loved one that will be around as a life partner. When she is our age, she can advise her own child... due to her life experiences, this exact situation for her own child.
Let her be

Reason: Rude.
The idea of dating a 40 year old man scares the crap out of me. But I can acknowledge that I'm not every young female on this earth. My preferences are mine, and other girls may feel differently.
I will say, it is important to establish an interaction with this girl, before you ask her out. I had a lot of problems with older men approaching me and not knowing how to handle it. It mostly comes from the fact that I was conditioned to respect older men, and adults in general, so when they talk to me, I'm very nice, polite and respectful. That doesn't mean I want to get hit on or asked out. When it did happen, I would panic.Because I felt like I was being rude or disrespectful by saying 'no'.
You were taught correctly. Older people in their mid 40'should have the basic level of respect for you to not use you for their own self gratification. So what is happening is the respect IS NOT a two way street so that makes for an uncomfortable circumstance for you. It's not you.
He should be acting as a father figure to you, as by then, he has the wisdom and life experience to guide you correctly into what is best for you. And generally you honor that just as you were taught But sadly people are so selfish and into themselves now it gets thrown out the window. And young people nowadays get confused and cannot understand why they feel awkward so blame themselves when others are out of line. It's not you, he's a smuck
Well, it will have to wait because she wasn't there this week.
Time to regroup and rethink the strategy. I was thinking of inviting her for a juice bar nearby. No alcohol involved. Something in the lines of going on our own vehicles to the place. I think that way doesn't look creepy.
The fact you need to even worry that it looks creepy tells you IT IS CREEPY
And your re-thinking your strategy (your methodical scheme) only shows your character
Okay here's the deal, I like a young woman at church, she's 25 but it seems very mature for her age, a masters degree overseas. I'm 44. Some people say: age is a number, some will say age matters and she is too young for me because of the almost 20 years gap. She looks very feminine, not at all childish. A cute brunette very similar to Felicity Jones with a touch of Kate Mara.
I'm thinking a real relationship, a good one and a serious one. Marriage material if you like.
I haven't gone out with her yet, I just said "hi" recently after church and she was kind of surprised because she was talking with another lady. I'm baby face looking, some people say I look better now than when I was 20. Women compliment my eyes a lot.
So what do you think: too old? too young?
Go for it? Pass?
Thanks.
Forget all the technical stuff. Does she know you exist and does she like you?

Reason: Inappropriate language.
Um...duh. Her father. The thread is about you and her, not me.
But by the way, you ARE OLDER than my father was when I was 25
Nice attempt to play ignorant though
Again, let her be
I understand it's about ME and her (I dunno your age sweetie)...but still to have a kid at that age now...I had to be married at 20. Not a common scenario. Duh.
Well, there are some rules - but I think what some of us are trying to point out to you is that this isn't love. You don't know her at all. Just keep that in mind when getting to know her if you get to know her.
Yes I understand that...and that's the idea of going out: know each other.
