I have a boyfriend that is older than me. He is 53y/o and i'm 28. But i beleive that age doesn't matter. What really matter is the love that binds between the two of you. And also theres a respect and trust..

There many successful couples with a age difference of more than 30 years. for ex. Charlie Chaplin. It is a matured love.

I also agree. Most of my family members are 20yrs. apart from their spouses. My fiance and I are only 5 years apart, but I dated a man once who was 15 years apart and it was just like every other relationship.

at 28 you are no child so know your mind. we are attracted to older people for many reasons, often it is because we need a father figure as one has been missing in our lives or did not give us the love we needed as children. i think an age gap is more of a problem when one partner is still in their teens and the other much older as then it seems a bit abusive and controlling, but i can't see the harm in this case.

I believe that age does not matter in a relationship. It is the maturity, the compatibilty, the communication, the empathy, the kindness, the honesty, the loving care towards each other and more that make a relationship work. I wish all the best for the both of you.

I totally agree age doesn't matter it's only a barrier if you let it be. I had a partner who was 17 years older than me and age never came into it, we broke up because of other reasons, and we were together for 5 years. Providing you are happy and you love each other, age shouldn't be an issue.

I am with you age doesn't matter.Age is only a number when it comes down to adults.I think if you both are loving each other,respect and have strong feelings then stay together.He could be your soulmate.

Age to me is a subjective concept, it is simply a number. What is important is how you relate to each other and how you enrich each others life. We are all here to teach and to learn from all the people we meet in our lives and how long we have inhabbited our individual bodies should be no barrier to this process blessed be

I don't believe age matters as long as both are mature and understand what true love is. The mind, the heart is what's matters. Age would matter only when it came to a particular age group, such as teenagers and the person being way older. I think that age, they are still trying to understand themselves and get their life paths together.. I personally feel in your twenty's you are mature, you are a adult and you know what you want, I wouldn't think age should matter as long as you are happy, content with your situation. It shouldn't matter what other people think...

same here, i also beleive that age doesnt matter. i have known couples who have a huge age gap but the relationship is much stronger. i think its the love that most important and if both couples are truly in love to each other, the age will not be a big deal.

you are right. age doesnt matter, when you love and respect each other. when both are happy together, its all ok. dont listen to anyone who tells you to stop that. important is, like n every relationship, respect, trust, honesty and of course love. thank god we live in a time where this isnt a problem anymore. i wish you all the best for your future life

I have my own opinion on this subject but I don't think it is what you want to hear! However I do sincerely hope that you remain happy and that the age gap is not a problem for you. I know that some of these relationships do work and I hope that yours is one of them. Take care and good luck.

I am little differ with your opinion. Age if no matter why woman seek man not much different than woman? In some cases it age does not matter that is if have huge wealth of a man then age does not matter as if a man live upto 80 yrs. then woman's age would be 50 and at 50 yrs. again marriage can be done? If can done then age does not matter, but if only love and money is matter then age does not matter because love without wealth or money is like desert. So it depend on situation. If you love someone 30 yrs. differ than you it is your personal matter but in general age is also a matter as young girl do not love too older man without any special reason.

You're right age doesn't really matter, what's important is you love each other and committed to fight for that love. In my case it's the other way around, I'm ten years older than my partner. It was not easy though, facing everyone who was against the relationship, even our families.

Well my husband is about 14 years older than I, we never have a problem whatsoever. We do have to adjust to each other since we came from different cultures, but that's it. Some of his relatives were wondering why he didn't get anyone his age, and my family somehow thinks that he is too old for me. But who cares, we got married and we're happy. Sorry if they're not happy, since we are LOL

age does matter as long as u both and understand each others need....matured relation is more about giving then taking. its more of sacrifices for the one you love... with a difference of 25yrs..tht double of your age, his expectaions would be different then yours...if you can overcome these small spped breakers of life, i think it a long way to go for u all...cheerrrsss!!!!

well for me, when you're in love it doesnt matter how old you are, how tall or short you are, or whatsoever differences that you have, as long as you know that you love each other, everything will be ok. Love is unconditional and you cant seem to imagine that you're beginning to love a certain person whose far different from what you are dreaming of.

I really think that age matters may be not initially but in later life it does.Yes its true that its only love that matters but age starts coming into account later on.This is my view may be you don't go by it........
