How old is too old?

I am 32 and my boyfriend is 60. He doesn't look or act 60 and we are very compatible. Age means nothing to me. How many of you think that is too old for me and why?

Unless you are a teenager dating a much older man, I don't feel that age matters. Age is a state of mind. If the heart is young, the body will follow suit. I think that as long as you are happy and he is happy, the two of you are compatable and enjoy one another, go for it. Let others think what they will, it doesn't matter. You know in your own hearts that you are doing what is right for the two of you. God Bless.

Yes it is. Happiness is the reason for being. If the two of you are a peace with your relationship, then everyone else can take a hike. Enjoy, live, laugh, and love.

old man - Night and day, lucky guy
He may not act his age, but there is no way he can act like a 32 year old in the bedroom

You're right. He acts much better than any 32 year old I have had in the bedroom. :-)

I agree. People can't just pick who they fall in love with.

I don't think he is to old for you. My aunt married when she was in her 30's and the man she married was older then her father. They had a very happy life together and he lived to be near 100 so they had many years togeher. My own sister has married a man that is more then twoenty years her senoir. It seems to me that after a while age just isn't as important.

I personally think that age doesn't matter as long as you both are happy. What other people think doesn't matter in the end. The only thing that matters is what you two think

As long as you are happy, that's what counts. Personally, I would think that the age difference here would be a problem for me. At 32,you are most likely working (and have a good many years left to work), whereas your boyfriend is approaching the Golden Years of retirement. I would think that your interests at these different stages of life might actually be very different. But, as I said, if you're happy, then age should not matter.

It is great right now but add ten years, you will 42 and he will be 70. Or go ten more years, you will be 52 and he will be 80. What I am trying to say is that it doesn't mean anything to you right now, but with time he is going to be feeling his age and you are still going to be young and it gets less compatible. But I say, Whatever floats your boat.

that's a huge difference of age there..but if you think that he dont look/act 60 and both of you are very compatible...who are we to say anything else? love works in a funny way at times...just be happy that you found someone you love, and he loves you in return! All the best!

May December connection - older people dating younger people, relationship that often does not work,  Some do and they are a minority although I think the numbers are growing
In my situation my first husband was 19 years older than me. We had some things in common, however it did not last. I had more interests and he did not encourage them. Didn't like me going anywhere since I might find someone new. There are exceptions to every rule and I hope you have the best of luck, however these relationships are not said to be successful.
