A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am 27 yrs old - been single for about a year after a serious relationship with someone my own age (this ended amicably)

now ive fallen for a man thats a lot older than me (50) althogh he doesnt know how i feel about him. when we are together he flirts with me and jokes about 'taking me home' but i guess he thinks i would never like him as he is so much older than me.

im not sure what to do - i do fancy him and fantasise about spending the night with him, but i'm not sure i want a realtionship as he is so much older than me. do i go for it for a bit of fun and see what happens or do i leave it as it would be too much hassle? hes really lovely but i cant help thinking what he would be like in 10 or 20 years. he is single by the way so hes available, i would never consider breaking up a family. do i trust my better judgement and leave it alone or think to hell with the consequences and go for it?

As a 51 year-old man, I would say go for it, girl! It's nice to know a young woman like you can find an older man in his 50s attractive. So if you want a bit of fun, go for it, because I'm sure he will enjoy it every bit as much as you will!!

I think that if you are looking for a fling then it is not a good idea. However if you want to be with someone for a long time then he will be mature enough to know what he wants and not go messing around.

wildman agony auntI would go for it, what do you really have to loose and it may work out great.

Age alone should not be a problem. good luck

LazyGuy agony auntLife is to short to worry so much about what might happen in 10-20 years.

Yeah oldersister has a point but frankly ED can happen at all ages. If the sex doesn't work out, well then at least you tried.

But I would make sure first that you are not using the classic "teen fallen for teacher" method of picking someone safe as your crush to avoid having to deal with any relationship developing.

Is he a lover or a father figure?

There is a big age gap but you are a mature woman, tomorrow you might have a stroke and you will be one needing to be taken care off.

Carpe diem.
