Too much of an age difference (generally speaking)? We get along fairly well, although it's way too early to tell if it'll go anywhere. I just don't want to keep this up if age is going to be an issue. I know it's different in every case, but I'm a typical 28, I don't know enough about him to say if he's young at heart or not. We have fun going out, but don't know if pursuing this is wise considering he's about 12 yrs older.

If he's ok with it, and you're ok with it, then take a shot. What's the worst that can happen?

Why you gotta get all caught up in the math?

Just enjoy the moment and see where that takes you.

just a few years ago, my g/f was 17 years younger than me.
the one i am currently (sort of) seeing is 10 years younger.

the age difference did not get in the way. (the personality difference did)

it only will interfere if you let it.

just be cautious of the fact that you may be at different stages in life. you may want kids, but he doesn't, or vice versa. things like that.

communicate effectively, and you should have no problems.

See where it goes, it's too early to tell. 12 years is not THAT big of an age difference.

Mrs. Chow and I are 6 yrs apart. Not the same as 12 but similar.


It's just a number, at least in some cases.
