Please weigh in...

Is age nothing but a number? Or does it matter?

I'm 30 (in Aug) and am interested in a woman who just turned 50... is this gap to great?

I'm taking things slow, since I just got out of a realtionship, and working on becoming friends. But I wonder if there's any hope of it becoming more. 

What do you think?

Personally I can't see why it would/should be any kind of an issue. I think the "taking it slow" is a great idea for exactly the reasons you mention, but other that that I say go for it 100%. Good luck and keep us posted on how things work out.

AGE is more than a number if you are seeking forever!   My partners sister has taught me this!  She is 60 and dear hubby is 80 ans so she is no longer anything but a caretaker!  

I wish you love..............but from watching her be a caretaker I wish you a partner to grow old with ........  but hey!!   I if I was single and your age would just go for it!!

LOL good luck !

 I think that if the maturity and personalities are compatible.....no matter what age, it would work.  I know a guy who is my age (I'm going to be 39 in august) and his partner of about 4 years is 24.  they are just so synced up it's amazing.

Yeah I'm rather old for my age (I always have been) and she's very young spirited so I think it could work, but I do have concerns about the long term...

My last partner was younger than me...by alot and I think it does make a difference....not so much in the earlier years but once you get on...in years...from my point of few only...you are just in a different generation... Me being the one on the older end...you just start coming to grips with aging and all that entails in life and the other person hasn't even gotten all revved up in their career yet. I have some friends with about 22 years difference, and I think the younger partner is really trying, but the older one is getting so insecure...anyway, not sure they are going to make it but I do love them both.

I think that equality is some times hard to maintain with a large age gap. Now depending on the folks I think up to about 10 years can be okay.

I heard a study the other day that said that if your partner was significantly older than you it shortened your life (vs. being the same age) but that if your partner was significantly younger than you it shortened your life even more!

The romantic part of me says that age shouldn't matter...but the realist part of me says that relationships are difficult enough to make work in this day and age and adding the complications of a big age gap just makes it more difficult.

Now girl, you are just the cutest, but slow down....did you just get out of your first or second relationship? Now while you are losing weight it totally f$%#ks with your self concept and identity...I have been at goal for over 18 months now and just getting real comfy with this body and who I am....all the fat loss gets your hormones all weirded out too...so enjoy, learn about you, have fun....but don't rush into things....you are losing your fat...try and keep your heart intact until you figure out what your new life....who this new cute dyke in the mirror really is and what she really wants in life.

Getting the new body and all the attention is alittle like driving under the influence...get a clear head....then the relationship will just happen...
