writes:Hi, I am a 26 year old woman and I find a 45 year old man attractive who barely looks 40, he could pass for late 30s. My question is does anyone know of any successful stories of people with an age gap this big? My ex was 36, we split due to other reasons in my opinion he acted young for his age in that area.

 How he LOOKS has no bearing on it. How he ACTS and behaves is the issue. I look every inch of 53 and my 39 yr old hubby looks about 30… and no one bats an eye and if they do who cares. I think if anything I care more than my husband does.. he’s proud to call me his wife for some reason.
As for a condom shortage in Spain in 1996, I googled it and found NOTHING to indicate a condom shortage in 1996… in 1981 when AIDS was “discovered” it became difficult for a bit but by 1996 it was not a problem from what I can tell. THAT alone (and not his age) would be enough for me to tell this guy to take a flying leap!
DO NOT let a man use his age (and your not being able to remember something due to only being 10 at the time) to run rings around you. Ask mom or dad if there was a condom shortage then… maybe they will remember if it was that big a deal it would have been news.

However, one thing I would say is to consider the future. When you are 50 he will be nearly 70. When you are 60 and still not old, he will be nearly 80.

Pr3tty_in_pink86 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionokay off subject a bit of strange question, but he claims condoms weren't easy to get in 1996 in Spain, is that true or is he having me on? He has a child because of this.

If he's not married or committed to anyone, I'd say go for it.

If you're hung up on the age difference, it will end up bothering you as he gets older and you're still 20 years younger. If you're not, and the relationship is based on compatibility and love, age will not matter. But only you know the answer to that.

 Waht difference does it make (the opinions of Aunts and Uncles).... since you've written: "...who barely looks 40, he could pass for late 30s...." to clearly point out that - whatever you read/hear, here, you're going to continue with this guy....
AND, incidentally, there's no reason why age should have anything to do with your decision to do so, or not, spend time with this man....
Good luck.....
