As a 25 years old guy, can I have a relationship with a 36 years old girl?

We like each other but she thinks people can judge us

In general, age is just a number, and it is possible to have a successful and fulfilling relationship with someone who is older or younger than you. However, there are some potential challenges and societal pressures that may come with dating someone significantly older or younger.

One consideration is that people may judge your relationship, as your partner mentioned. Society often has certain expectations about the age range of romantic partners, and some people may be critical or disapproving of a large age gap. It's important to consider whether you are both comfortable dealing with potential judgment and whether the relationship is worth the possible social challenges.

Another consideration is that there may be differences in life experience, goals, and expectations between partners with a significant age difference. For example, someone in their mid-30s may be more established in their career and have different priorities than someone in their mid-20s who is just starting out. It's important to communicate openly about these differences and make sure you are both on the same page about what you want from the relationship.

Finally, it's worth considering why your partner wants to keep the relationship a secret. If she is concerned about the potential judgment from others, it's important to consider whether she is truly comfortable with the relationship and whether you are both willing to navigate any challenges that may arise.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a relationship with someone significantly older or younger is a personal one that depends on your individual circumstances and compatibility with your partner. It's important to communicate openly, be aware of potential challenges, and make decisions that feel right for both of you.

No, you can’t. Unfortunately, your software is incompatible—and there is no upgrade available for her hardware. So, you are out of luck.

If that sounds like a dumb answer, I refer you back to the question.

Can they? Yes. But if she’s not comfortable with the age gap then you’ve got to respect it.

She wants to date but keep it secret

Are you ok with that?

[Asker]

At first I would but I don't want it to be a secret if we become long term

[Opinion Owner]

Well then you’ve got some tough choices to make. You know she’s not comfortable with the age gap and won’t go public, so you either accept this and go along with living a secret life or end it because you don’t want to be hidden forever. There’s just nothing else to do besides hope she comes around one day.

You're both legal so by all means, go ahead

Of course. What others think doesn’t matter

[riverrat3]

It will work if you want it

[nickaboy]

Only if she wants
