Is it normal to date your friends dad??

The age isn't so bad, but the fact that you were friends with his kids first is creepy. Just my opinion. But who's to judge love?

If you are in love then go for it! You only get one shot at life so enjoy it no matter what other people do or say!

I had a relationship with my friends dad, and we have a kid. I was 16 when it started, now im 19 and im trying to end it. Hes 35 now. I think in my situation its not normal, with the kid and all, but with you it seems simpler. Age shouldnt matter!

the only abnormal thing about your situation is that it was your FRIEND'S dad you hooked up with. a 20 year old can date a 42 year old, it's odd and you will probably get looks for being the exact same age as his son, but it's perfectly ok.
be prepared for the rest of the family to have a problem with it

It ain't normal but hey, if it's working, its' working. Just remember how quickly his dilly-dally will only salute to half-staff.

Look, if you're happy who cares about the way society looks at you? This shouldn't even be a question. If you love him and he loves you and treats you well, screw social norms.

I don't think it's normal but what ever floats your boat!

I personally feel a man attracted to someone so much younger might have tendencies of control. I I also would question what you both have in common, because it will not be life experiences.
And last but not least, I agree with the others who wondered at a father who finds it rather easy to turn his back on his children whom he has a history with. He has little history with you....

You love each other? Go for it! Who cares, older men w/ younger women is normal. Now I he was in his late 50's I'd probably say it's not a good idea but ur close enough. Who cares what others will think

If you love him then go ahead don't let anybody get between your love. But make sure that he's the one before you do spmthing stupid.

Weird how the situation happened, but if youre happy & in love thats all that matters. Just think though...when youre 30, he'll be 52 & so on. But if you can deal with the age gap then dont worry.

Thats the age gap between my parents. No biggie.

I don't think this is such a big age gap.

Imagine how you would feel if that friend became your mom. weird?

my god, did you not think about your friend? realy selfish. also when you are at your sexual peak at around 30, he will be an old man and he wont be able to satisfy you. dont have kids with this old man for god sake, dont tell any future boyfriends about him either it will put them off, by the way if i was your friend i would punch you

Reallllllly weird

That's not acceptable to me but whatever. I feel bad for his older kids, if they aren't ok with you and their dad together then I say don't do it. I'd shoot myself if I were them... but that's just me

No, that's not a good idea. Your poor friend.

Does he mention marriage? Is he divorced or widowed? How do you plan to bind your life-long commitment? Just trying to make sure your not his little trophy. My opinion: any man who would go against his kids in this circumstance (where you and the son were best friends) wouldn't think twice about your feelings if something better comes along. I would definitely try to use a little forsight. The older you get, sometimes the less you have in common. I'm afraid you may be headed for a brick wall.

really really selfish. i feel sorry for your friend and i dont blame him/her if they hate you for the rest of their life

With you*

Ew. What if one of your friends was bangin your mom or dad, I'm sure you would be pissed! I don't blame his kids for not wanting to be friends either you anymore.

NO. It will not last. When you are 38 he will be 60 years old... or deceased.

No no no. Dating a parents friend is a no-no. Not to mention sick. It's practically like jumping in bed with your father.
