major age and culture difference

no way!!!!!!!!! i do not think they have a fair chance.very difficult to get them together at par. even if they come together, they will simply complain about the differences. that will cause a rift between the two. so, it is better to remain as friends rather than as EX or DIVORCEES..

No offense, but I just want to make an advice. I came from a third world country, in my country especially the middle class and the poor class are "desperate" to leave the country to have a better future (to earn more). And the primary target country is U.S., U.K., Canada, Japan, etc. in short the richer countries. And the only way people from third world country to be able to work or live legally in the rich countries is if someone sponsors them from that particular country to live and work for them. and the other way is to be petitioned by a family member especially by his/her PARTNER. I'm not over generalizing but I am pretty much aware of third world country mentality. Ok I'll be straight, some of my country men, sad to say but they try to marry foreigners from rich countries just to have legal papers to live there or work and after wards they will just file a divorce. I'm not generalizing because to be honest i have friends who married Americans with honest intentions and now living happily in US. But please be careful about people who you don't really personally know yet, be extra aware of yourself and don't let a big mistake break your heart again. Just an advice. But I think there's a chance that it will work out for you but again know him well first before involving in any serious relationship.

I think love has no boundaries. if you are comfortable, go for it. there is no looking back. who says that you can be very happy. love comes when you less expected it.

I can't think of any reason why not...unless their families object and that matters to them. Love is all around us...just open your heart and you can find it.
