    If you're BOTH happy with it - GO FOR IT. You're both old enough, so it's up to the two of you.

    Of course there will be people who "talk" or are against it, but they aren't in charge of your lives or happiness. Chances are he's more mature (not just age wise) than most guys your age anyway. I've know of even greater age differences that worked out good and they have no regrets..... Of course all don't work out like that, but all whose ages are the same don't either. It would take a big commitment by both of you. I wouldn't go for much more of an age difference though.

    How do YOU feel about being 46 with a 67 year old man? Are you OK with the fact that you may still be young enough to go have fun but be stuck caring for an elderly husband?

    That would be the only problem I can think of. If you can deal with all that, it doesn't metter what anyone else thinks.

    if love is there it can work out. But be careful there is a 20 year difference he might have different opinions about your lifestyle than you also. If you are to settle down consider this is he going to be there 5 years from now how about 10 or 15? THEN AGAIN HE MIGHT BE THE MAN FOR YOU. Do you love him and does he love you back? He can teach you great things for he has experience.

    You are almost a generation apart.

    What do you have in common?

    If it goes away - will there be anything left?

    A few people already said it best - it is like dating your dad.

    It could work out. If you are just starting out, give it some time.

    If you've been together awhile, well then - you may have a good chance. What does your family think?

    If you really like/love him, it will work out. Don't let anyone discourage you from a relationship that has a large age gap. There are positives and negatives just like any other relationship. Personal experience with a 30 year age different has taught me that anything is possible as long as both people want it and are happy together.

    Not very good - IMHO!

    He has everything he wants, You are selling yourself short.

    My wife is 10 years younger than I. I see this as acceptable! 21 years different is a little absurd, but it could work out in the long run.

    However, if you believe that you are meant to be together, then so be it! Guys grow up so much later than gals!

    God's blessings!

    A lot of chances if the man drives a BMW or something like that, has a beautiful house and wine and dine in classy bistro. If it is the same age difference and the man is earning close to minimum wage, then I do not call it "working out" I call it a " miracle"

    My boyfriend is 22 years my senior and we get along just fine. We love each other, have a good time being together, hardly ever argue and he spoils me and spends lots of money on me.

    It all just depends on the couple. Age doesn't always make a difference. Who says you have to fall in love with someone your own age? It would be different if you were 16 (being a minor) and he was 37. Good Luck to you both and Happy New Year!

    to be honest hun to us the 21 yr differnce shouldnt matter to anyone expect u and him if u to love each other then who cares what anyone else thinks ? and the chances of it working out is all up to you and him

    Age isn't important!!! If you are truly having feelings for this man, go for it. You'll learn a lot and I'm sure you'll teach him a thing or to...not just sexually, but in all ways.
