I'm a 35 year old woman who's dating a 27 year old guy.We him met through a friend. At first I was kind of skeptical in talking ting to him. He is so mature and we have so many things in common. I am starting to have really strong feelings for him to the point that I think that I love him. We've been talking for about 2 yrs and he doesn't ask me for anything. We've done so many things together and we have lots of fun. I know that he has feelings for me too. I just want to know if the 8 year age difference too much for a really good relationship. I know that women date older men, but what about older women dating younger guys. This is the first time I've dated anyone younger than me.

I am in an age gap relationship of more years than you are and I am very happy, my guy is younger than me too. The only problems I have is other women, they are completely jealous and pretend that there is something wrong with me behind my back, but those women are not my friends and many of them want my guy.....

I just turn a blind eye to them, and enjoy the emotional, mental and spiritual connection that we share. He is funny and kind and I am having a great time. Will it last forever? I don't know and I don't really need to know, I live my life in the present.....and I am crazy about him and he seems to feel the same about me....so it's all good!

That isnt an age gap to worry about, just enjoy all you have and stop worrying about what others have to say.

8 years shouldn't be much of a problem.

Maturity, as in any relationship, should be the only concern, and whether you connect emotionally and have mutual interest would be the difining elements that any age difference would work.

If you get on and it doesn't cause you any problems then where is the harm - snap him up as your toyboy lol and just enjoy it, I know plenty of people with younger guys and from what I can tell they work very well.

Seriously, dont worry, let nature take its course. x
