I just finished watching this romantic drama called ' I can hear your voice' where there is a 10 year- old difference between the lead actor and the lead actress (she's 32 and he's 22). The chemistry between them is so good it made question whether these kinds of relationships do work in real life.
What about you ? Would you fall in love with someone who's older (for men) younger (for women) than you?

My very recent girlfriend was almost 12 years younger than me. We had great chemistry, but our lives got divided by distance.

@august18 No, I've decided to go back to trying to accomplish my goals. If she wants to return, that will be her choice. While I'm working for my goals, I may just meet another along the way.

Love can never be measured by age. Love is a feeling. A feeling that no one could explain. One should not say no to love just because of age difference. Love is a choice and not just a feeling. You choose to love and therefore by that, one should always choose to be happy.

Age doesn't always matter, but there are times it does.
10 years of difference, in my case, would mean 12 yo boy or 32 yo man.
Of course, I'd rather avoid a relationship with the former. 32 is likely to be fine instead.
I had crushes for men who were 10, or even 15, years older than me.
And I sometimes find boys who are up to 5 years younger than me to be attractive.
The more you age, the higher the gap you can afford.

@august18 Well, I'd prefer to avoid younger men, at the moment.
I'm young but willing to engage in a serious relationship, marry and have children.
It wouldn't be fair for a man my age or younger to get involved, they need to go on adventures and experience what the life of youth has to offer.
I think it would be selfish if I forced a young boy to follow the path I want to take.

So you never reached a final conclusion on how age difference can affect your relationship with the one you love. Older men are rather more mature but grumpy. Younger men are in contrast handsome and less responsible. This brings me to one conclusion which is marry someone who's about your age.

Love is blind, which does not require how looks, character be good or bad... It is is as you say the chemistry between both parties can overcome and live with humbleness centered in Christ. I would marry one and once... I'm anti-divorce...

I think it is possible, as long as love, respect and trust is present. For me personally, a 10-year gap is too much. I can tolerate at least 5 years age gap (for older woman and younger men).

My mother married my stepfather who is 20 years older than she. He passed away on the day before their 25th wedding anniversary.

If destiny leads me to such a place then fine I will.
