writes: ok so i think some people have already asked this question but i can't find them at the mo so i'll ask it my self... Basically do people think that an age diffrence of 20 years is to much. I'm 18 and the guy i like is 37/38. We get on really well, he's really flirty with me and he's just basically a lovely guy. I also think he likes me aswell because of how he acts around me. My friends have worked out i like him and they think he likes me to. so basically i could do with opinions, do you think relationships with an age gap can last.many thanks for your time :Dxxx

The problem is that your lives are totally going different directions at 17 and 37. You're basically running headlong into everything in life that he is just now finally leaving.
My point isn't that you should sacrifice to make this work. My point is that you should probably realize the sacrifices are not worth it and decide not to.
I believe you that he's a great guy, but experience will teach you that he's one of millions of great guys. There are plenty more that aren't starting with such a built-in problem.

Weird and strange to the most to explain, but yes it is possible.
Good luck!

At the end of the day age is only a number, how a couple feel about one another and the love that is shared far supersedes how many numbers are between them. If you like him then give it a go and see what happens, the most important thing is your happiness at the end of the day.
All the best x

If you wanna go and date this guy, go out and date him.
Age is only a number and if you get on really well with this guy, then why not? What's stopping you?:)
You're friends seem to be okay with it.
My parents have a 13 year age difference and they've been together for 27 years now!
Go for it!
:)
Take care xx
