Should age difference matter?

image

Dear Bella: I am a 28-year-old young woman who knows what she wants in life. However, I have been single for quite some time now, because my last boyfriend hurt me to the extent where any woman would have gone crazy. I have since then healed and I am ready to love again.

But Bella, the situation is this. I like this guy so much. Bella, I will not say in love because love is a next level. But words can’t explain how I like this guy. The problem I have is that he is 21 years of age. I mean I know he is a young man, but it still has me thinking.

He is very mature, and Bella OMG the most real guy I have ever seen in my entire life! Bella, this guy is something else. A lot of women are always asking where are all the good men at an most of all ‘WHERE ARE ALL THE SINGLE GOOD MEN AT?'

This is one right there. I have asked so many of my girlfriends about him and got to know a lot about him. People would see him around most times by himself and look at him as just being quiet but his really not than his just humble and cool.

A lot of people know him and his plain out cool with everybody, but Bella the population of girls that wants him all over the place is CRAZY. I mean there are married women and women with their boyfriends trying to get with this guy, girls are literally fighting over this guy.

I believe that there are a lot of women who don't know about him and if they would only know they will RUSH him because his GREAT GUY but I can handle the girls. I am not for that at all but I can understand WHY they are doing it.

I first noticed all this was true when he was entering a restaurant and I was behind of him and he opened the door smiled and let me enter first, since then is always giving me good greetings and complements with a smile.

Some girls would just watch him and may seen him around but to them might just be another cute face boy ready to trample on their heart but not the knowledge that he has Bella, is  extraordinary so uplifting, so strong and positive never negative and so much more qualities, every lady's dream.

Some girls would really ask themselves a guy like that is single? His one of a kind Bella sometimes I say to myself is this guy from earth? His name is never in this and that and was told by many that he has never cheated on his past girlfriends.

Bella, he is just everything a woman would want in a man, it’s just the age difference that keeps hitting me. A little advice please!

Dear Miss,

In your case where there are two consenting adults I do not believe that the age difference should discourage you from pursuing a relationship with this young man. As long as you believe that he is mature enough and is ready to commit to a relationship there should be no fuss about his age.

Real people do real things, Dont wait for 100 years to know that man because you will never know that man you will only know about that man, do what you have to do now if you love that man and you feel love in your heart coming from this man, give him a chance, age is just a number my father is 30years older than my sweet loving kindhearted mother, forget about what your friends have to say, they will soon be telling you, why you dont get married and as soon as you find the one to marry to they will tell you, dont marry that man he aint no good, that mean they dont want you to get married. go for it girl

Dear does agereally matter:
Before you fall in love with this guy, has he told you how he feels about you? Are you compatible? Age is just a number, the thing that matters is how you feel about each other. If you both are compatile and the feelings are mutual I say, give love a fighting chance. Love like you've never ben hurt before and dance like no body's watching.

Gosh...while I believe that age does not matter...he's 21 and had what you call "girlfriends". At 21 and all that a woman would want sounds like he doesnt keep girlfriends for too long...or were these ladies just acquaintances? In my opinion at 21, he should have probably been in one relationship before...when you say he has never cheated on his girlfriends before, that scares me as a woman cause what people were calling his girlfriends could have been flings and that's why they havent lasted so long.

If I were in your shoes, I would not mind about age that's the least...I would get to know him personally first. NO SEXUAL contact yet, get to know him, ask him a out relationships he might have been in before, to see and learn why a young guy like him has been quoted as having girlfriendS. If he's so mature and polite as you said...he'll be upfront and lay his cards on the table with all truth.

I had the same situation but mine has a happy endin, I am went forward with the relationship... My guy is very mature and is ready to go to the next level. If you feel strongly about the man he has presented to you & you don't feel that any part of him can be fraud-like or fake then take the next step, and take it slow. Give him the opportunity to prove your feelings about him right or even wrong.

Good Luck

Engaged, broken heart, can't let go and the works. Sister, time for self and healing helps. Don't know if I will love that way again but I think in time God will work it all out.

Life is Short on July 08, 2009 11:10:09 AM
Well I wouldn't be with someone to just be with someone. Compatibility is very important to me. I'd rather be single any day then be with some moron who I cannot get along with, am not attracted to, and has a slew of habits that annoy me, cannot hold an intelligent conversation, has no sense of humour and is a lousy lover! To me that person and I would not be compatible. Much rather dine alone than be with someone like that!

"Life is Short" compatible you say...boss nobody wants to be alone, so whether or not you in a denial, some people just want right now. Them could have the best of the best, then end up picking and picking till them pick sh**! Long and short of the story, if yuh could get it, that is what you get. Lol, compatible! Too many odd couples out there to back that one up! lol.

Eh hmm on July 08, 2009 10:38:48 AM
If he is truly the things that you have mentioned, then so be it. Just don't SETTLE because he seems to be the only one out there that is available.

And just so you know, what he may seem to be may in fact be otherwise...the choice is yours to make.

Well my dear the answer to your question is that age is just a number and who someone is, is really what counts. I am a 27yr old male and I have been in several relationships and all of my girlfriends were older than me. One girl was 6 months older, the other was 2 and a half years older and the one I am seeing now is 5 yrs older than me. Society has it that the man should be older than the woman but that is just crap so please don’t let that stigma prevent you from trying to have something with this guy just because he is younger than you. If he is mature enough to handle and deal with a woman who is older than him then by all means go for it.

to: Finkle, good question but there are no such thing as a perfect man, sometimes when you have people after you, you tend to be single, you dont know what to do or who to choose. Some people just enjoy single life so that they dont have no attachments. I know a couple boys that women are after and they single. It just take time for them to find that one special person to change their status. To the writer there is no big difference between 28 and 21 so go for it.

28 and 21? Not much age difference there! If he was 28 and you 21 would you care? Probably not! I would only be concerned that he is not mature yet. In your 20's we are learning about life as an adult and making decisions on lifestyle and friends etc. So I would expect change. Just remember that life is way too short and being old and grey and having regrets would not be fun for anyone let alone having to know you let the "one" get away. If you both like each other date. It's the only way to find out if you are compatible.

There is a stigma in our society that a man should be older than a woman. We have to realize that age does not have a number on it. Follow your heart. Do not try to control or be a mommy to your man. You are not and will never be old enough to be his mother. Treat Him with love and respect him for who he is.

Once he is mature and can deal with the 7 years difference, forget about what anyone may think or feel about it and concentrate on making your relationship the best one ever!!

When I met my husband, I was 32 and he was 25. He was very mature and all that any woman will want. We have since been married for 6 years and have a wonderful relationship with three children.

So if he really loves you and you love him Go for it and good luck.
