Chill out! The fact that you wrote that much is sad.
If writing a few sentences is a burden for you, it certainly doesn't kill me.

You didn't answer the question directly- that is all I wanted.
If I live on the computer? Not that it's relevant or any of your business, but I might. Does that disqualify my opinion?

Plus, I'm 22 and seeing this guy a two months, that doesn't exactly put me in the category of "wasting my years".
Well, I might be intuitive, but not a mind-reader as of yet. If you've no problem with the topic you wouldn't have posted it in the first place, much less get so defensive after hearing the unpleasant truth happening more often than not. Since you're so sure, just carry on and ignore me. I'm done anyway. WTH do I care...
Chill out! The fact that you wrote that much is sad. You didn't answer the question directly- that is all I wanted. And as you can read from my other posts- I do realize both sides, not just what I *might* want to hear. Plus, I'm 22 and seeing this guy a two months, that doesn't exactly put me in the category of "wasting my years".
Hold the phone. You're 22 and you're seeing a guy in his 40s?
OMG. Look, I don't mind some age difference. But that's just way too much. By the time you're 40, you'll be tending to the needs of a 60-year-old man. Trust me. There are just way too many issues here. What's more, even now, he won't want to hang out with your friends. He won't want to go do the same things as you. Seriously. These are two completely different phases of life we're talking about. And no matter how much you like this guy, those differences will become even more profound--especially if you start hitting your sexual peak and he's having to pop in a Viagra just to keep pace. Oh, and as a 46 year old, I'll tell you that I certainly wouldn't be wanting to raise a small child at this point. And the list goes on and on.
Why don't you look for a guy who's mature, got it together, and in his 20s? I think you'll be a lot happier if you get into a relationship with somebody closer to your own age.
He's in his 40s and you in your lower 20s... in your lower/mid 20s you grow and chnge as a person a lot, dooming many relationships in that stage. The age difference is going to come into play.

Absolutely. You'll change more in the next five years of your life than you will for the rest of your days. Your values, your tastes, your aspirations, everything.
I had an employee who, at the age of 22, married a guy in his forties. Within three years, she regretted it. He was a perfectly nice guy, but he was just at a different stage of life.
I dont think age has got to do anything with commitment...it could be that the guy has never met someone for himself...I have seen people in the age of 50 years unmarried and then meeting someone and getting married...so my answer is he can commit!

Okay. Back to the problem at hand. Don't get involved with a guy 20 years older than you.
Don't get me wrong. If Mrs. CPG35223 were hit by a bus, I'm sure there would be some 20-something out there that I'd love to wile with my charms, once I had shaken off my grief. But in that relationship, he'll always be the adult and you'll always be the child. It just doesn't work.

I'm not talking about age. I have always dated older men and prefer it. End of story on that.
Dang cpg is much brighter than I thought he was.....
