Do you think it is possible to date a 21 year old if you are a very successful businessman of 35. We get along
We get along really well. I have a great time with her and we usually just talk and dance a lot. I want to take my time with her. No hurry or rushing into anything. I travel across the country on business about 70% of the time therefore my time is limited and she understands that. I really do like dancing with her she is so graceful and nice. It's rare to find someone I get along with and enjoy their company so much. We can talk about nothing for hours and still feel like we just met 20 minutes ago. Weird I have never felt this close to anyone.

I am 10 years older than my wife and we started together when she was 23, then married when she was 24. We have been married for 17 years and never considered we made a mistake.
If you get along pursue it and see where it leads, as long as you both are happy it could be the best decision of your lives.

I am 21 and my ex is 39 (we met when I was 18 and he was 36 - he looks young). We were about to get married (he proposed) but we broke up not too long ago because he was hardly around (he's a workaholic - works 7 days a week and is self-employed). So we would see each other once a month, sometimes less but he would call me everyday to make up for it (it's not about "making up for lost time," it's more about spending time together which he didn't understand when I try to tell him).
Not seeing me often made me feel like he didn't enjoy my company which he in turn said I was just being insecure and too childish and not ready for a relationship. Yes, we felt a connection and we do love each other but over a silly thing like his absence, we called it off.
If you want this to work with her, you sincerely have to find time. Otherwise it will just be trouble.

Hey There,
My husband is 24 years older than me and we have been together 9 years on the 22nd of this month.We have been married for almost six years and we have 3 children together.From the moment we met we hit it off instantly we felt like we had known each other forever and if we worried about what people had of thought we wouldnt have been together for this long.We love each other so much and our kids are happy and healthy and that is all we can ask for.Life is just too short and love is just too precious to throw it all away because of some shallow minded people that may not agree with your life choices.If you guys are in love and want to be together then go for it.Good luck

Like you said, give it lots of time. Right now you are in lust with this woman, and she with you, because it's still a pretty new relationship, I'm assuming. With you gone so much, I'm thinking she will get lonesome and antsy, but time will tell. Just take it slow, don't try to control her or own her. She is very, very young in life experience compared to you. You have a career and I'm assuming are divorced. Your experiences are not even equal. Enjoy the time with her, but don't make her "wait for you." Maybe date other people, both of you. Why make it exclusive with you gone so much.

totally possible i think. i see age as a number. knowing someone and even falling for someone in the same age bracket or older bracket than you does not assure things will be great. for me, bottomline is how much you guys have in common and how you two can relate to each to each other.
i used to be very conscious of guys who are younger than me (yup, we belong to the same bracket). but as i have proven it for myself, i do get along with guys who are younger than me. in fact, i've had a boyfriend who's like 10-12 years my junior. the age difference was never an issue. we enjoyed alot of things together and our conversations were great.
if u are to ask for my unsolicited advise, i'd say go with the flow and see how things develop. it may end up as a liking for someone because you share the same interest or it can lead to even better things. if you question yourself now, you will never find out.

it is possible bc you are already doing it and having a great time. being a succesful businessman; i dont get that part. you're young and you are portraying yourself like a granpa or something. if you feel like marrying her better date her a little more. the 'weird' part you feel it's because you're infatuated and you should already know that 'succesful businessman'. ok you have good time what do you need the validation for? what are you guilty about? i'm done here

sure why not. I was engaged to a women 16 years younger then myself and we got along, sometimes. you noticed I did say I was engaged because the age difference did not mater at first but after a while it was clear that we grew up in an entirely different generation. our way of thinking was completly different. but she was a wonderful women and I would do it again hopefully with better results
