Question - (16 January 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 16 January 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm 26 next month on the 28th of Febuary, and their is a guy I like, he is 10 years older than me, he's 35. Is that age difference okay - someone who is 10 years older than myself? I know people say that age is just a number, and it all depends on if you get on well ect, but He's not normally the type of person who I'd really go for, after all he's 10 years older than me, but when I told a few people that I liked him, they all said that he's lovely, and someone who I spoke to about it asked why I liked him, and she said is it because of his good nature, and I said yes, and he also makes me laugh, and everyone else... got a good sense of humour.

The one thing is that I was going to go to the pub with him yesterday I was actually going to, but then I was thinking that I dont look 26, people say I only look 20 and a few years ago, when I went out I allways had to take my passport with me to be served alchol, even though I'm 26 next month. So thats the only thing that concerns me, that he might think I'm too young, just because I only look about 19/20. When I'm actually older than that, So I'm unsure of what to do.

Thankyou.

kenny agony auntI think you should just go for it, 10 years is no big deal, people have made relationships work with a far bigger gap than this. I agree with what you say most people think, and that is at the end of the day age is only a number, that it is how you both feel about each other is what counts. In 4 years time you will be 30, and he will be 39, nearly 40, which to me dosen't sound that bad atal. And also you should not worry about what others think about it either, all that should be the concern here is what you both think.

Good luck

aunt honesty agony auntI agree here, if you get on well with him then there is nothing stopping you. Who cares what other people have to think. If you are scared that you will be refused drink then just carry your passport with you just in case of that situation. But yes feel blessed that you look so young for your age and dont worry about what other people will think. If he is nice and treats you well then go for it.

I think it's fine since you are 25, turning 26 and he's 35. It's better than an 18 year old to be with a 33 year old guy. Since you look younger than your actual age, it may be a little more difficult but I'm sure you guys will be fine. Be happy that you are blessed to look young. I think you should go for it.
