Is it normal for a 22 year old to date a 39 year old?

thank you guys so much for the wonderful opinions!

I was recently in a similar situation. I dated a man who was 42 and I was 22. We were friends before we started dating and we always had a great time together. It didn't end up working out because he wasn't the right guy, not because of the age difference. If you both feel comfortable with him having children close to your age then embrace the opportunity. Have fun and enjoy!

As long as your happy. My ex was 19 years older than me an we were together 3 an half yrs. Were broke up now but still good friends.

Does his son look like him?

As long as you're happy and he's happy.

I don't find this normal. It's nice that you've found someone but I personally feel that this relationship is wrong. Considering your age difference is basically the same age as his son's age. I know you said that your parents have a big age difference but this is more than 11 years.. And I find it creepy that this man is dating you while having three children and a son who's 17. I'm 18 and I would be unbelievably creeped out if my dad started dating a 22 year old...

Nothing wrong with it at all!

Listen. I am 22 and I am dating a 39 year old man. I do not find this situation wrong at all. Weve been together for 7 months and he has a 7 year old. The looks when you go out in public are rediculous, but who cares you are living your life. No one else is going to live it for you.
ah, but his son is close to your age.. I can see how that would be a bit awkward due to the fact that.. well yall are closer in age. I havent experienced that. The difference between mine and his daughters age is 14 years. There are alot of factors that play a roll in the relationship though. I know I love my boyfriend, and I know he catches hell for our age difference because his friends might be jealous, but you have your whole life ahead of you. You have to think about the future-ness of your decisions. ( if that makes since ) Once you step up and be a mom, when you YOURSELF havent had kids, its alot of responsibilty. You have to deal with stuff that most girls our age wouldnt. Like the childrens mother? Where is she at? Is she active in their lives?
In my case my boyfriend got fixed when he had his daughter. And the mother just currently got her rights taking away. I on the other hand cant have kids. I totally thought about the outcome before it came into play.
I love the way my boyfrind treats me, just like a lady. Younger guys just do not have the respect for women now-a-days. Although its nice to have money spent on you, its nicer to be able to spend money on the family. Money should not be your main concern. But with older men, they have their lives together. You probably wont have to worry about anything, but its still nice to work hard for the things you want. As far as him taking you out,and buying, he should.
The best advice I can give you is to follow your heart lady, dont listen to what others have to say if it isnt helpful for building up your self esteem. you cant help who you love, you can only help who you hang around.

Who gives a shit, quite honestly? Just make sure he's spending plenty on you - you need to get payback for his paunch, wrinkles and drooping dick.

sound like a great man , im hoping to be something like him at his age

Age doesn't matter, that is no big deal, what does matter though it sounds like you are in love with his money not him

Oh an he had a daughter 8 yrs younger than me.

Lol, well I'm 19 and I really like a 38 year old... I don't have 'daddy issues', and I've never seen anyone with older men as having them.
