Is it normal for me to be attracted to my 44 year old friend?

I'm 26 soon to be 27 I've dated guys my age, younger, and a little bit older but they are just so immature. Guys around my age don't know how to treat a girl now a days. I started getting closer with a friend that is 17 years older then me. We get along super great. He knows what I been through so he knows who I am and what I want in a man. It just so happens that he revealed his feelings for me almost over a year ago. I find him attractive, he listens to me, gives me advice and he's a complete gentlemen. I'd love to date him again but the only problem I had was the age difference and ppl judging because of the age difference. That's the only thing stopping me from having a normal relationship with him. Advice??? What shall I do? Because seriously this guy is like everything that I have been looking for in a man. Thanks for reading this hope I get some comments.

    If he is everything that you have been looking for in a man then go for it. Not everyone can have a perfect age difference. The fact that other people have found what they have been looking for does not mean that you shouldn't just because he is so much older than you.

    I personally think that's a perfect age match. I don't know if your interested in kids or a family, but around your age it is a common thing to look into, as well as his age being the perfect age from male perspective to have kids. Also at his age he should have some stability job and financial wise so starting a family wouldn't be crazy stressful. So if he did turn out to be the one, things would likely turn out swimmingly as you both sound like mature adults. I say go for it.

    Im a male and I agree with Marisol you should go for it. But keep in mind, there is no substitute for experience and he has 17 years more experience than you. That said, it sounds like he knows what you want to hear and has the patience to wait for you. Think about it, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by dating someone 17 younger than him.

    Go for it. Ignore the judgemental idiots. Look At Juliet Mills and Maxwell Caulfield. There's a 18 year age difference between them but they didn't let it stop them and they're still happily together. I hope that you can have just as happy a relationship with him.

    Good Luck:)
