writes:I recently met a beautiful and wonderful woman who is 27. I am 41 and we met online have gone out the past few weeks. To give you an idea what this is about, I’ll give you the details:As I stated, I am 41. However, if you saw me your jaw would drop as I look so much younger because I’ve been told I have a baby face. In fact, where I get my haircut, the girls there were trying to guess my age and they came up anywhere from 28-32. I don’t even have smile lines or a gray hair. While I’m not perfect, I run on a regular basis and eat fairly healthy. I’ve never been married and have no kids. If anything, I’m guilty of working too much but I’ve finally backed off.About her: She is school teacher that is 27. She is from a small town, very intellectual and has a young son. I’m lost on words to describe what a beautiful and wonderful person she is and I can tell she has a huge caring heart. We are both Hispanic and have many similar family traits and appreciate our heritage.The first time we met we went for wine and had a great conversation and it just felt so comfortable. We kept in touch over the phone and it always seemed like we would talk for hours. We went out again and had a great time. She then wanted me to meet her friend so the three of us went out. I felt as if she wanted her friend to meet me ‘to see what a wonderful guy’ she met. She invited then invited me to her small hometown next weekend so she can show me around and take in some cook offs. We have talked about taking her son to some baseball games this summer.So why is this on my mind… I guess part of me is nervous. I think some of it has to do at how beautiful she is. Not that I’m chopped liver since many woman always say I’m a handsome man. I guess its because I never thought I would get serious with a 27 year old but yet here I am falling for her. Sometimes I wonder what her family will think, but then again, if they see me they wouldn’t even think I’m 41. One of the reasons I found this site is a result of me researching age difference in dating.Maybe I am over thinking this and need to relax. In fact, she called me while I was typing this to see how I was doing and wished me a good morning. My heart just melted in happiness. I don’t want to be presumptuous but I haven’t felt this way in a long time and I’m hoping she is feeling this as well. I would like to read any feedback you may have.

She sounds like she really likes you so try to relax and enjoy yourself. You could check out how she feels about you, and how she sees the age difference. A lot of people who say that age is a state of being, not a number.

 i dont see age gap is a hindrance to a good marriage. As long as you love each other and get along really well, age is just a number but the heart of a person never gets old. I am 27 and many mature guys lie your age is proposing to me. i dont see anything wrong with it. go for your happiness and never let go of it just because of your age. If a 47 year old man ask to marry me and we share the same strong feeling for each other. i will say I DO, right now. good luck.

 I think, as you said yourself, that you need to relax. Sounds like it's been going well between so far, despite the age difference, which isn't that big a deal. My parents have a 22 year age difference, and they've been married happily for 25 years. So relax and enjoy this, you don't need to worry.
Wish you the best :)
