You want advise, yet you are reluctant to listen, so do what you want. None of us know you, but you seem to want to talk about how wonderful he is even though you are not sure you should be with him. There are no shoulds, so it is really up to you. I know that if you stay with him more than likely you will wind up being his caretaker, and if that is something you can see yourself doing then fine.
Since when was saying "I do appreciate your honest remarks" implying reluctance to listen? All I said was the decision is not easy, but of course I'm heeding what people have to say. That is, the few people that have given serious and thoughtful remarks have been helpful, and not the ones who are merely here to poke fun at my situation (which I expected) or condescend me, as your tone clearly implies.
Seriously thanks for the sincere posts guys! They've definitely made me think.

I cant imagine what a 28 year old would see in a 60 year old.
I do hear a lot of young women complaining about young men and gaming...they are more into the xbox than their box...but 60...seriously??
The only 60 year old women I find remotely attractive are celebs that spend thousands on plastic surgery...not yer typical 60 year old...
does he make a lot of $$$???
I imagine with Viagra he can keep up. Do you have a low libido??
Just curious, not making any snide accusations.
He makes a moderate amount of money - owns a humble house, car, etc. Nothing fancy. Unfortunately the stereotype is that I'd be a gold digger, which is simply not true. But every woman wants some stability in her partner, even the young ones.
And, while my libido isn't low, it's not that high either. In some relationships I really had to "put out" i.e felt pressure to constantly be creative and push myself to get in the mood to please my partner and keep him interested and satisfied. Others were better and this wasn't so bad. Don't think I would mind not getting laid all the time.
Why is this hard to believe? My parents are 57. My dad plays basketball 5 times a week. That's more exercise than most 20 year olds.
I haven't actually asked him how old he is. I don't see him very often because of school, so age is not the first thing we talk about when I do. He has good genes - hardly any white hairs. Let's say he is above 50 for sure.
If you're not having sex when you're 60 I feel bad for you son. Everyone knows people who do it more live longer!
Anyways, this is a serious post.
Why would you be with a man this old? You are in your 20's. Can't you find someone your own age?
Serious daddy issues to be with a man 32 yrs older... I don't care what kind of PC bullshyt you wanna spin on it......... LOL....
Seriously.
Gives me the heebie jeebies.
If you're so concerned about your freedom, what are you doing with a 64 year old man? You'll be his nursing maid (aka changing his diapers) within the next decade. Jesus, girl. If you really want to "live" your life, and enjoy your youthfulness, move on now.
meh, I say have fun with it Don't marry him or have too serious of a relationship, and let him know that you aren't interested in marriage (if he gets that idea) as leading a person on is wrong, imo, regardless of their age. Don't worry about just finishing your degree now, you've got plenty of company (I was about your age when I finally got mine). I would focus on building your career, networking, and just improving yourself (career, hobbies, volunteering, networking etc). If your friend fits in with that, great, if he is demanding too much of your time then you need to part ways. This is the time in your life to work on improving yourself. Now, if you want to marry and have children, then I think it's best to say goodbye to your friend so you are single and able to meet someone closer to your age. You only have so many years, and most people want to be in a relationship for awhile before starting a family. But, if you have zero desire to have kids, then have fun :-) Don't worry much about what other people have to say about your age differences, everyone has different tastes.
I'm 62 and wouldn't even consider a relationship with some unless she was within about 10 years of me. He's is just too old for you. You still are in your prime and full of energy. He probably takes naps and is ready for bed by 10. Does he ever fall asleep watching TV? And he will not get stronger. He will begin to age even more very soon. He's way too old for you. Find someone you're own age to play with.
