The other girl that wrote a comment must have not had a lot in common with him.. I know that the guy that I like, likes to do some of the same things as I and I dont think that that should be a reason to break up...
Well like I said if you have the same interests it shoudlnt be a problem!
Age is just a number sweetheart! The two of you could be 20 years apart and still make eachother happier than if you were someone your own age!
If you just focus on what you want and that the two of you want to be together then I think that anything could happen! :)

 Hi
If you stay together the age difference will notice more when you are about 25. He will be 44? odd years old, and the difference will start to notice, as he will be starting to slow down. Where as you will not yet be in your prime.
It depends on your feelings for him really.
My friend at school got married to a man of 34, when she was only 17. They are still happy now 30 years later. So it can work, but you need to be very understanding towards each other. He will find you immature at times, and you will no doubt find him a bit old fashioned at times.
But if you love each other, it could work
Best of luck XX

 Hi, if you want something enough and love someone enough anything can work with a bit of will power but you have to put some wellie in yourself... I love age differences.. i think it's unique, diverse and it's gives you more to talk and chat about... it adds a touch of spice..and a bit of excitment..Between my mum and dad theres 26 years age difference and there fine...Go for it hun.. x
