Hello all,

I recently got involved with a man a fair bit older than I. We both new that it was probably not a good idea, but we just fell in love.

I am 18 and he is 27. He is very kind and polite, he does not rush me in anything. Are there problems that could arise that I should know about.

What should I do? My mother is sort of upset about this too.

Thank you all for your time.

kenny agony auntAt the end of the day age is only a number, how a couple feels about one another far supersedes the amount of numbers that are between them. If you like this guy and feel he is right for you then go for it, life is to short to be worrying about something so small as 9 years.

All the best & good luck x

komad agony auntokay, i may be a kid but think about this when your 20 yrs he will be 29 and when your 29 he will be 38, its a bit of 2 much of a difference, hang with younger people and just have fun , dont settle with an older guy you might miss out on a lot

You are both legal adults. I see nothing wrong with this age gap. If he respects you, treats you with kindness and you both share similar life values, I see no problem, with dating him. Good luck, be positive and carry on.

smeedle agony auntWell the problems that may occur will be with your friends, his will be older and yours will be younger, you may not be able to get into clubs that he and his mates go too and both families may have some reservations.

Im 45 and I look for partners in the age range of 36 to 56 but it just does not seem such a big gap or issue at my age as it does yours.

YOu seem to have your head screwed on and we cannot help who we fall in love with so relax and just see how it all goes.

Problems will arise if you let them.

But true love is stronger than anything here on earth.
