Dating younger man

I agree with luckygirl don't over think this, enjoy your relationship and have fun.

My husband is 7 years younger than I am. We have been married for over 25 years now and it doesn't seem to be a problem. I know I look older than he does but he still loves me!

I can't see any particular problems relating to the age difference and you obviously both like each other and have no ties.
If you're both happy, go for it.

I have a work colleague dating a younger man, not sure of exact age, early 60's, he's apparently 14 years younger. She seems very happy, seems to do the same sort of things as you. I think its keeping her young.
Personally I can't imagine dating someone younger than myself, and I can't put my finger on why as I feel age shouldn't matter, its more outlook on life and how compatible you feel.
None of us knows what the future holds, I would say just enjoy yourselves, at the same time keep your own friends just in case.

Go with your gut instinct. If you feel this man would enrich your life, if you can't think of him without inwardly smiling, if he makes you laugh and you wake up happy, then see where it takes you, the age difference means nothing!

Sounds lovely - just enjoy and do not allow your mind to find problems where there are none, or to concern yourself with the opinions of others. You are taking it slowly and enjoying each others company - what's not to like, as they say!

I have friends where the age gap is very similar - they are very happy.

There is little enough love and happiness around - grab it while you can!

Meant to add..it is not always about age!

If both are happy go with it. Only you can judge if the friendship feels equal. If one of you is looking for love and romance and the other is looking for a good friend and companion it may not work!

Sorry too many 'we have'

Irene Sounds like you are both taking it slowly and having a lovely time.
Enjoy.
