Dear Cupid,

I am 56 and my girlfriend is 40. Do you think that is okay or am I just too old. I look very young for my age. Most people think that I'm in my late 40s or maybe 50. What do you think?

Several of my men friends have been much younger so what? Life is for living and if you like each other go for it-there is nothing wrong with huge age gaps sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt but that is the same for any age group

Stop worrying and good luck

imho

if you were 34 and your gf were 18

i would say the the age gap is vry big

but as way grow older this simple equasion become different

and so i believe that the gap between you(56) and your gf(40) is very acceptable

if you love her dont leave her

what is sweeter than love my friend?

Honeypie agony auntAfter a certain age, the gap kind of becomes smaller for most people. If the two of you share a lot in common, have a great relationship and enjoy each other I don't think those 16 years makes much of a difference.

No you are not too old for her. 56 is not old. If you look after yourself and have a young frame of mind then great. If she is not bothered by the age difference I would not give it another thought. They say the 50s are the new 40s. So just enjoy life.

On paper you are not to old you are both old enough to know what you want. Why are you asking? It doesn't matter what people think, it's how you both feel is the important thing.

clarebear agony auntWell my mum is 45 and her boyfriend of 7 years is 59. He's like a dad to me and he makes my mum happy.

Don't care what other people think. If you love each other, age is just a number.

CindyCares agony aunt What do YOU think ?

I mean, it's strange , well, not strange of course, let's say unusual you have come up with this question. Seeing that so many mature males seek and lust after younger women, even younger than 16 years less as in your case,that they have no qualms about it and that socially it's widely considered acceptable. Does it bother you for some reason ? Are you concerned about something in particular ? Is there a big difference in sex drive, are your friends and family making comments....?
