well one problem may be people calling him load of crap which is wrong considering age is a petty number and it counts for dust in a proper loving relationship.

btflower agony aunthello lady, my ex is 24 years older than me. when we first met which was when i was 15 we were just very good friends and then time past that we just kinda slipped apart then we met back up regularly when i was 18 and then we both realized we loved each other or so we thought. i loved him and still do and he says he still loves me but we just can't live together anymore lifestyles changed. you would think the older the more mature they are well there not. he was very different when we first met. we were married six years and then he felt like drinking and hanging out at the bar was more important at age 50 now. well thats not my thing and he is not willing to stop so i had to decide where to draw the line. so here i am alone with our two children and raising them all by myself. no help what so ever from him. i was really consider how things will change for you if you decide to make a future with him. my ex and i were best friends until this.you are young don't rush into anything weigh out all your options before settling down with someone older. so now i really feel like he only loved me because i waited on him hand and foot. i got up at 4 in the morning every morning to make breakfast and i had his dinner ready at 11 at night when he got off work so no matter how good you are to them then thats really not good enough at some point.i wish you all the luck in the world with your relationship. not trying to tell you what to do but just wanted to give you my experience being i am your age.

Make sure that you have both talked about all aspects of the realationship and understand what the age difference would mean. if after that you still feel that you want to be together, and it feels right and good, then go for it. But makes sure you have dicussed things in detail.....
