    If you like him, go out with him!
    I know a married couple with a similar age gap, I think she was 40 when they met though. She told me once, that she had the attitude that she was going to have fun with no expectations, they are one of the happiest couples i know, she is probably just a little younger than you now.

    Rule of thumb to see if it's creepy, divide your age by two and add 7. That's the youngest you should date if you don't want to look freaky.

    60 /2 =30 30+7=37

    You are SO in the clear. You get him you hot tomaly. :)

    I think he's mature enough not to be taken advantage of... ;-) if you like him, give him a shot.

    Don't worry about the age. Do you like him? Do you get along well? Why not give him a try and see how it goes?

    Everyone I've ever dated has been younger than me, by as little as 9 months to as much as 7 years, but I'm only 28. :tongue:

    Do you really want to run the risk of looking back a few years down the road and saying ..............that was the one that I COULD have spent the best years of my life with???

    Just as long as he's gainfully employed, and not looking to you for support:wink:

    The acceptable range is half your age plus 7... So says the web comic here: http://xkcd.com/314/

    (It's a cute stick figure comic strip that's usually about nerdy things... I found this particular one to be especially cute)

    Seriously though, I know of several couples where the woman was significantly older than her husband. Two couples in particular come to mind and they both just celebrated 20+ anniversaries. Go on a few dates. If it works out, great. If not, you went out on a few dates and hopefully had a good time. Besides, the rush of picking out an outfit, etc. is always fun. :D

    This is cool:) but I think it is different for the woman to be the older one. I should say, harder? Don't know what happened to Ashton Kusher and Demi but Goldie and Kurt are still together;)
    My SO is 18 yrs my senior, and I couldn't be happier!! I say go for it - age ain't nothin' but a number! :drinker:
    Ashton was/is immature; that's why it didn't work out with Demi...

    Give the guy a try! If you like him and you both connect and have similar likes/wants, then awesome! If not, one date is just one night :wink:

    Definitely go for it. Unless he lives with his mother. Then it's "Psycho" creepy.

    If you were 30 and he was 15 I'd say no, but I think you should say yes and have a great time!

    I agree with this.

    Yup, I agree too. Go for it!

    Lol. Agree with this. But this post reminded me of a show I saw recently. It was a documentary about a guy who married a woman 30 years older than him. They have now been married for 12 years and are insanely happy. It was so moving, they were so in love. Age doesn't matter. Go for it!!

    I'm 43 and madly in love with a 24 year old lol. He is way ahead of his time and mature, has a serious and high paying job, he's super bad *kitten* but yet nice as shi* and he's intelligent and acts my age. We are best friends. And if he ever asks me out I will say, "F YES" and just like that. It really depends on the way a person acts and their maturity level. I knows guys my age that act like total tools and then of course there are the awesome ones that act their age. But age is only a number really. If the love is there and you two are learning new things and doing new things being together who cares. "Keep It Legal" is my motto meaning meaning 21 and up lol. I do not make it a habit of dating younger guys and never have but my best friend better watch his *kitten* and he knows it.

    You look much younger than your age! I would not have guessed you at being close to 60. I would say go for it 100%, but first ask yourself, is he employed? Hopefully he can support himself and is not looking for someone to take care of him, but that goes for any guy, younger or not. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with it. If I were your age, I would be happy to date a younger guy because women usually tend to live longer than men anyway. My husband is only 3 years older than me, but I worry that I will outlive him, that would be so awful! I would be so lost without him, we have been together 20 years. So good luck to you! I hope everything works out for you! I would love to hear updates!

    There's a lot of great advice here...when I was single, I dated guys up to 12 years younger than I am, and my husband is 5 years younger. It really is just a number. Go for it!!

    Absolutely!! Go for it!

    If you were a 60 year old man, you would not think twice about dating a woman of 45 and neither would anyone else.

    Its a good thing my wife wasn't closed-minded when we started dating.
    I was 25, she was 42. Hit it off immediately like two peas in a pod.
    I swept her off her feet like her ex-husband never could.

    Sept 20 will be our 27th anniversary.

    What might you be missing out on if you don't give it a chance?
