Hi everyone...

I'm after meeting this guy a few weeks ago and have been out on a few dates and we just get on really well...

The thing is the other nite we were talking and I found out he's nearly 24 and I'm 31 next month! I thought he said he was 27/28 when we first met and I feel that 7 years is too much of an age difference and I just cant get past that fact at the moment.

Am I wrong to think that or what do you think - girls and guys views great appreciated,

thanks :)

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Yeah but its normally the guys that are older than the girls not the other way round!!

The thing is I don't look my age and most people think I'm younger than what I am...

He's just out of college and starting off in life... so he's at a different stage to me. I think I'm better off to leave him...

Thanks to you all for your replies and advice :)

My grandparents were ten years apart.

They were together until my grandmother carked of old age.

So, if you are happy, then go for it. You're both adults, nothinbg even slightly wrong.

I don' think it is a big age gap at all especially if he is a mature 24. What do you both want? Is he interested in settling down and having kids, are you? These are the questions you need answered....ask him where he sees himself in five years and listen to his answer, then see if it matches closely with what you want.

But why not have some fun, you don't have to marry every guy you date after all....he likes you, you like him, you are attracted, you are both single, you both are free to date each other, so what is stopping you? You.

I don't think it is that big of an age difference. 7 years? Please. If you like each other then why does it matter?

I honestly think you should leave. Maturity wise that is a big age gap and I guarantee you will only encounter heartbreak as you are both at two very different stages in your relationship. Unless you want fun but I have found thro my own experience and the experience of others it is hard to have 'just' fun in a relationship esp at your age. There are plenty of other great guys out there you just have to open your eyes
