Age is no barrier at any time in your life,the only barrier is in peoples heads.If you get on with someone and they feel the same why should it make a difference what age you are,go and enjoy yourselves while you stilll can and dont live with the rest of your life saying what if

Five years is not that much of a gap. But that's not necessarily the issue. I think you should discuss the matter with the woman in question as it seems in all fairness that there are issues beneath the surface, i'd also not leave the judgement to a forum as decisions are supposed to be our own.

That's no age gap.
I find it little odd that you want to base your lives on what people in the forums say though...

I know, I thought that too but strangers will tell the truth, in these forums...everyone is very blunt! That's probably why...I agree five years is not bad at all.

Good luck you two!

Five years is not a large age gap unless both people are very young as one person is 21 and the other is 16. Otherwise, I don't think age is a big factor unless there is a huge age gap such as 20-25 yrs.

thanks all once again and especially lahmia and others that have commented on the forum !!! i totally agree what your saying and me and this special lady are actually working through it together !!! is just if shes 5 years older and i look 5 years younger !!! what shes saying in round terms is that in her eyes there ten years difference even if only in apperence !!! its the feedback is very important to both of us and she is monitoring the comments and i must say you all agree the same and she relieses that now !!! we have agreed to date a couple of times first but she is convinced that we will hopefully be giving it a go !!! so soz if i made it seem that you were deciding but in a way you are !!! your bluntness is excellent and i dont think she wants to lose me for such a small issue !!!! thanks all simon keep the feedback coming thou !!!!!!!!

There is way too muvh emphasis placed on age and the differences in them between people. I have noticed that women typically have the problem with it much more than men do. ( not being sexist, just an observation) I have met many younger people that have had as much on the ball as older people... the chemistry between two people is the important thing.... do they take your breath away when you hear their voice on the other end of the phone. Do you feel completely comfortable with them, no matter what you are doing. Can you tell them your deepest darkest fear or desire, with risk of rejection. Chemistry is what is important. Still looking for it myself.... but I am not giving up. when you find it, both of you should go for it.

A five year age difference is really no big deal, especially when you share the same decade as the other. (EG: 32-37, 22-26)

Relax & Enjoy!

5, 10, 20 years....who cares?

If you get along what difference does any of it make? Why is it still ok if the man is older, but not if the woman is older? SOOOOO old fashioned!!!

Um, yes, give it a try. I think when she thinks older, she thinks "mature", and you probably are as mature as and man can get.

16 dating 21? That's a hell of an issue :)

21 dating 26? Not so much of an issue depending on how mature the 21 is.

30 dating 35? Why bother to ask?

40 dating 45? Who cares?

Sounds to me like she's got an issue someplace that needs to be addressed. The numbers game is just a cover.

.... look 5 years younger !!! what shes saying in round terms is that in her eyes there ten years difference even if only in apperence !!


So go buy a carton of cigarettes or twelve.
Sleep only 4 or 5 hours a night.
You’ll look older ( and beat to sh!t) soon enough.
If you're keeping track, chalk up another vote for “Go For It”.
Five years is BS.
(AND she'll have smaller odds of ending her life as a widow)

Don't worry about it. Five years is practically the same age.

I have met people who were 10 years apart; she was 40 and he was 30. As well, historically women outlive men, so the fact that you are younger than her, could mean you might both go together if the timing is right. lol :D. Just do it.

Cheers!

Well 5 years is a bit proportionate.

18 to 13 ... BAD

33 to 38 .. WTF are you worried about!

Is the 5 year gap really her issue or.........is it a case of her worrying what her friends might think ?

My son is 20, his girlfried is 28 and I wouldn't even consider this an age gap as they are of the same maturity level.

You are, by the sounds of things, on the same wave length and age is just a number so go forit and to hell with what small minded people may think. Good Luck!

Age is a number. I will not date a woman older then me, but that is me. My ex is 13 years younger age was not a factor of divorce. It is only a number

Seriously, leaving things up to a forum is not taking responsibility for ones own actions. It is up to the both of you to make your decisions. if you are relatively mature, then i see no problem. If she is used to dating older guys, then she is seeking maturity. I think she is copping out and not being honest by saying she'll leave it up to the forum to decide. in her heart she has an anser and doesn't want to hurt your feelings because she probably likes you.
