      My aunt's husband is only about 6 years older than her oldest child. She was in her 40's when they married, they've been together for 20 years....the age difference now is really close to your situation; she is in her early 60s he is mid 40s

      You are both adults.

      I would only say no if one of you was underage. But you're not so have fun. Do whatever makes you happy. That's what matters.

      It is just a date, not marriage.

      Go for it.

      I agree. Go for it!

      The "will it mix" formula for age differential is supposed to be: half the age of the older person and then add seven, so if you're 60 and he's over 37, you're good...

      This.

      Seriously, try a date. If it works then stick with it. If not, then don't. Honestly you look younger in your pictures than 60 so people might not even notice the age difference.

      Absolutely!

      Age is a number in your head. If you like him and he likes you, spend time together. Ignore the number!!

      Most of my life, I dated younger men so I learned to stop worrying about how old I was or how old they were.. I just looked at each man as a man who found me interesting. If the feeling was mutual, we could proceed. If we got together and our minds were just in different places, it didn't work.. but in all honesty.. MOST of the time, it was just great and the age difference never even came into play.

      Like many of my friends are fond of saying: YOLO! (you only live once!)

      You don't need anyone's approval but your own. That being said, I personally could not date a man 15 years younger than me. I don't know what we could possibly have in common. I have two adult daughters that I raised on my own. I'm nearly 51 and will be retiring much sooner than someone 15 years younger than me. Just my thoughts though.

      If you enjoy his company then go for it. You're not talking about long term or getting married.

      Age means nothing. I like younger guys.
      I would date anyone between 20 and 40.... I'm 35.

      I definitely think it's socially acceptable considering your approximate ages. You might get a couple raised eyebrows here and there, but who doesn't? I dated a guy who was significantly younger for a while (he was 20 I was 25 and at that age that is a lot) and mostly people would just waggle their eyebrows and be like, "hot damn!" I don't think it's a big deal.

      If it starts working out and turning into something serious and long term, I would think the biggest hinderance would be differences in where you are each at with your longer term life goals moving forward. It's a big enough age difference where you could be in really different places from one another with that kind of stuff, and would definitely be worth talking about together.

      At a certain point, age becomes just a number. I believe 60 is beyond that point. Maybe once you are both out of the 30s? I say go for it if you are attracted!

      Then again, I haven't reached that point. Me dating someone 15 years younger would be highly illegal, and gross. :laugh:

      with a man 15 years younger if you were almost 60? I know this has been asked a million times but you guessed it, I've been asked out by a younger guy. So now, what to do. I feel stupid even considering it so feedback welcome, I can take it. I'd love to know of stories where it's worked out between two people with vast age differences.

      denise:drinker: :drinker:

      I think if it makes you happy, you should go for it.

      I am not 60 yet and a "man" 15 years younger than I am is still kind of a child, so my perspective is not yours. I don't know what *I* would do. However, I have a female friend who's 30 married to a man who is 60 and they don't feel awkward, so why should you?

      I would totally do it and I wish my mother would. Seriously, at that age you've earned the right to not give a *kitten*.

      I say go for it! Be adventurous. Shun the non-believers! You might miss out on the best time of your life.

      it all depends on your situation, what you want to get out of the relationship, and your needs. We cannot really tell you what is best for you.


      The only instance I have seen of this type of relationship is between my uncle (about 47?) His wife is about 25. One of my uncles daughters from his first marriage is 24. I find it absolutely inappropriate for that reason.

      Yeah, why not.

      Definately go for it! Age doesnt define who you are! Let us know how it goes.

      As long as he is above the age of consent (for me, it's 21 to cover every country's laws), I'd hit it.
    • Posts: 647 Member
      He must think it's okay, if he asked you out! I say go for it. As long as you're not old enough to be his mother, you're not too old!!

      Edited to answer your question: Heck, yeah, I would become involved. If he liked me enough to ask me out and I felt we had a lot in common. I wouldn't think twice about it!!

      Yes, whatever works for you. My hubby is 11 years older than me, but we act exactly the same (I'm 34, he's 45). Plus, if you find a guy that is younger than you, you don't have to worry as much about the 'women live longer than guys (typically), and I don't want to lose him first...' Sorry, but I do worry about that with my hubby and I wish we were reversed.

      When you're all grown up, 15 years isn't a significant difference in maturity. If you like him, go for it!

      My Mom is with a guy who is 12 years younger, she is 52, he is 40. They have been together since he was 23 and she was 35 :)
      Go for it!
    • Posts: 1,156 Member
      Well, if I were nearly 60, he'd be about 45....so I would hope he'd have his *kitten* together at this point in his life, so yes. I'd probably go for a young stud LOL
      Now if I were 40 and he were 25, no way.

      A guy I used to date married an ex-stripper that is right around 15 years older than him. Other than the fact that she can't hold a job doing anything but stripping it's worked out pretty well. Personally, I've always been with older men (with the odd exception of this fellow) and I've always been happy and it's worked out really well. I say go for it if you're happy and compatible. You could train him up right too. Yeah, sounds better and better... lol
