I've developed strong feelings for a guy 14 years younger I was with casually. Is getting in a committed relationship with him a good (or bad) idea? (Page 3)

A few months ago I started a casual relationship with a much younger guy (I'm 39 and he's 25). As a recently divorced woman (and a single mom to two girls ages 14 and 15) I got to the point where I was tired of being single and wanted my womanly needs to be fulfilled yet didn't feel like I yet wanted to get involved with anything serious commitment wise. Consequently, Brad (not his real name) seemed like the perfect fit. He's a super fun, super hot guy (insanely amazing body!) who also wasn't looking for a serious relationship/just wanted some fun (and him being so much younger gave me a huge ego boost). I thought there was no way we'd ever become interested in something serious. However, to make a long story short, Brad and I have gradually developed really strong feelings for each other. A few days ago he said he wanted for us to get serious together. A huge part of me really wants to do that, but I'm still hesitant because of the age difference (which wasn't at all a concern when I thought we'd just be short term fun). We are in different stages in life (I'm a single mom with an established career and he's still in grad school). I also don't know how my daughters would react/feel to their mom serious dating someone so much younger (especially since he's actually a little closer to their age than mine). Also, I'm worried that in the very long term the age gap could become more of an issue than it is now. With that being said, maturity isn't an issue as we're very compatible there (in many ways he's actually more mature than my ex-husband, whose a few years older than me) and I'd actually love to have more kids (only reason why I didn't is my ex didn't want to) so if we get to that point that shouldn't be an issue (as I do think I've got enough time to have kids with him if we get to that point). Do you think having a relationship with a guy so much younger is a bad idea or not? Should I give it a try? Tell my what you think/why you think that.

  Yes. However, we actually are compatible that way as I've always wanted 1-2 more kids (the only reason why I didn't have them is because my ex didn't)
