    I'm 28 and my boyfriend is 44. No regrets. When it's right, it's right

    When we started dating, we were 23 and 39. .:heart:

    Yeah, the work thing is the bigger deal imo.

    I like older guys, they seem to have their stuff together and they usually want the same things as I do!!

    Thanks for the feedback! The work thing, while a concern because of potential awkwardness, is not an HR concern. Actually, he's technically in HR.... :)

    Im sure they do, its the ones that I've met that haven't figured out what they want yet. Again, I'm sure they have goals, and really awesome goals at that!!

    I would think she is going to love what 48 years of experience and learning will bring. :smokin:

    this...

    If you connect you connect, age doesn't matter too much.

    Don't care about age, but when/if the fling/relationship goes south, he's in HR, so his job is secure.

    Your job, on the other hand.......is it worth the possible risk?

    Age is a factor if you want to have kids. Because the age difference may mean he doesn't want kids or perhaps may die at a somewhat young age.

    My fiances father was 15 years older than his mother. They had a good life, he also left his son fatherless at age 13 when he died in his late fifties... even if he lived into his sixties he wouldn't have known his granddaughter who was just born this year... Just saying..

    Yup this is why Im attracted to older guys more often....but then I seem to choose the guys who have too much going on and/or past the point of wanting anything too serious. Or maybe it's me and thats just what they tell me haha

    But yeah I agree with everyone saying it's not about the number its about maturity level

    I agree. If kids aren't in the cards it's really no big deal in an of itself. Find someone who treats you right - don't be concerned with what others think.

    Yes. That would be the concern. It's more than potential awkwardness. If you didn't work together, I'd say go for it and don't look back.
