I have been in your spot. At first, everything seems great, but as the relationship progresses, you WILL notice things that bother you. Things like when you will go places with his friends, you will be the youngest one there, and it will be awkward. If you do decide to end things, you will be hurt--but being hurt for a while is better then being a 25 yr. old divorced woman.

woman, you are a 23 year old woman. now do you consider yourself smart and matured ? if your answer is yes, you don't need help. you are NOT a 19 year old teenager nor a 13 year old girl. i don't understand what your problems are ?

If he treats you right and your parents can see that he does then over time i really cant see them having a problem with his age.They already think he is 33 so thats only 2 years less then his real age.I think they would have more of a problem with keeping the truth from them.

Cool Cucumber agony auntYou are an adult he is an adult...where is the harm in that? It's not that big an age gap, your parents should cut you some slack, you're 23 not 13!!! Be honest with them and just say that you have fallen in love with him, surley you are old enough to fall in love eh? Don't lie to your parents about seeing him and your feelings, as they won't think much of you for doing that. Just have a sit down and chat to them expalining that what you feel for this guy is real, and if you are making a mistake then you just have to figure that out for yourself, without your parents interfering!

Zanders agony auntIf you two have only recently got together I would let the dust settle a bit.a couple of years here and there really doesnt make that much of a difference on his age.let some time pass see how it all works itself out and if its serious then as the saying goes - cross that bridge and tell your parents.
