Is 16 years difference a huge deal?

Time is just a concept, therefore, so is age. If you are truely happy with this person, go for it. People may talk, but only out of jealousy. Don't worry about it. It's your life. I know people who have a 23 year age difference and they are still together. It may take a bit to adjust to, but do what makes YOU happy! :)

think about it this way. he has had 16 more years to mature than you. ask yourself what in the world would a man who is 39 want with a 23 yr old? what do you expect from each oth? is it the same thing? why is he still single has he ever been married if so why did they divorce? if they are still married, shame in both of you. it sounds like he is having a midlife crisis and you are just a reminder of his youth. but if you love him give it a shot, you never know you mught live happily ever after. just think about the questions above first. and remember you dont need anyone else to aprove.

my mom is 39 and has dated a 23 year old so if your in love age s just another number

Girl, I dated a guy who was 30 yrs older than me, it was the most dumbiest thing i could have ever done. I was stuck with him for 6 yrs, and i have 2 kids by him. Older mens are very insecure, and they will hold you down because they think that you will leave them one day. You are way to young to even be thinking about one man anyways, 21-25 yrs old is the party time of your life, please enjoy it.

I think that it all depends on what you want.

My husband is 17 years older than me, I just turned 30, we have been married for 8 years. If you love each other then I think you will make it.

Just keep in mind that his age means things might not always happen when we want them.

its so wierd.

if your under 18 and have more than like a 3 yr gap then its huge but if your over 18 then its fine up until 20 odd yrs diffference.

so yeah, its fine and go for it if you love him.. no ones gonna pick up on it..

i have a friend who's 15 and her bf is 23.. i think thats a bit :\ but hey, they love each other or whatever and are happy so whats it to me?

i have a crush with someone who's 9 yrs older than me though.. :\

but its more complex. not gettin into it. thinkin it as infatuation and hope to get over it. (yn)

goodluck. x

Yup, its a deal breaker very soon down the road. i wouldn't want my kids to have a dinosaur dad. Also I know how old men act and have gas and other various odious moody stuff as they age. Want that--then you got a daddy thang girl!

Talk it over with your guy and make sure you work out any possible kinks in the relationship. (ie, he wants to settle down, but you want to go to grad school or something.) But if he's who you want, I'd say to just trust your heart and go for it! you'll probably end up learning a lot.

age shouldn't matter when it comes to love if u feel uncomfortable with the age then yea its a huge deal but only if you or him make it one

no ! just make sure u guys like each other, and are cool with the age difference.

have a good time! :D
