OK for a mid-40's guy to be with a mid-20's woman he meets in church?

Our church has a really laid back atmosphere, and several couples have met here. There does seem to be a mutual attraction between this woman and me - we have caught each other staring, but I think we're both worried about the age differernce.

    i wouldnt worry to much about the age difference. but first, why dont the two of you get togather & seek gods will in this matter? ask him for a confirmation that the 2 of you are to be togather? another question, is this just a sexual attraction or a real love connection? again, thats why its important to ask for gods guidence in this matter. dont get togather just for mutual satisfaction or passion. it may work for a while, but its a device used by gods enemy to pull you down & both of you could end up getting hurt. seek out gods will. let me know what happens @ rje46805@yahoo.com

    Love knows no barriers. Age is just a number, and it has no relevance in this matter. You are both over the age of 18 so there is no sinful pleasures there. I am 22 years old woman and I fell for a 45 year old man so of course I see no hesitation. Younger women likes older men more than men around there age. Just remember tell her your inner thoughts about her. Good luck!

    I wouldn't worry about the age difference. The important thing is if you connect together. Age isn't all that important. In my own experience, I married a man that was 21 years my senior. Unfortunately, it did not work out for us because we rushed into things and did not take the time to really see if we knew each other. Take your time and do not rush into anything is my advice. But that is true for any relationship. Oddly enough his name was Glen too. Go figure.

  • Age isn't important. However! Don't make a fool out of yourself. What if she was looking at someone else? Or thinks your odd? Be wierd to be turned down and then have to see her at church all the time. Give it a shot. Start making simple conversation...after some time goes by then.... Ask her out for coffee. See where that takes you. Good Luck

    there is no need to worry about the age differnce, I think you should go ahead. One of your major challenges is to stay fit and healthy. remember that when your wife is 40+ you will be 60+. She will be increasing in her sexual potency while you will be on your way out. However, if you both love each other you will never grow out of love. Remember you may start to feel insecure later on in life, especially if you are unable to work and satisfy her well.

    I have seen many relationships like the one you explan work, and work well. Good luck

    So what if there is an age difference! What if she were older than you....would that make a difference? Age does not determine attraction. There will always be things that, collectively, you don't like, but that can be such a learning experience. My girl friend and I have a 16yr difference. Things are great!

    Talk to her, see if she likes or remembers the type of music, events, etc... things that you hold dear to your heart. See what you have in common. Beliefs, likes, dislikes, politics, how to raise a family, if she desires children (that's assuming you want a real family relationship in the future). What are your goals, what are hers. There's a lot to think about and consider, depending on what kind of relationship you are seeking. You might already be past things she's really desiring now.

    Glen, my dear friend,

    When you are 60 she will be 40 think about this. She could be your daughter. Let her live. SHe is still young and needs to have fun. No offense intended. Just too much of an age difference!

    Talk to her. If the age difference is a problem, consider it as a new friendship. The important thing is to be honest with each other.

    Generation Gap, sweetie!!! He is old enough to be your father. He is probably getting into the mid-life crisis and you have become his tonic. Don't even go there.....you will be headed down the road of despair. Give it up and find someone your own age.
