Is 17 years age gap still okay? I am 24 and he is 41? He seems to like me and I do like him too even we both have not confessed yet?

Question

Honestly, we dont know about each other's ages if I am not mistaken. I just happen to see from his post the 1979 so I believe he is 41. He always try to get my attention and shows some signs that he likes me.

Do you think he even knows that I am around 20's? He is my co worker but from another department. I am a new employee for about three months now and he always approaches me and initiates conversations with a smile and deep eye contact. Sometimes little touches too in a non perverted way.

When my uncles first started dating (presumably my father, too, but he never mentioned it), their mother took them aside and told them to find to a nice Irish or English girl, and marry her. One could go further afield, but her reasoning was that the more cultures (well, ancestral cultures; everyone involved was American) diverged, the more points of potential conflict you had. I don't know how a woman can so badly underestimate her own children; my father and uncles are smart, competent people, and would never be at a loss for a topic to fight about, but I understand where she was coming from. And now, after more than a century of marriage between them, everything's fine- despite only my father marrying a girl of Irish ancestry.

More potential flash points are a sign of possible trouble, but there are very few guarantees in life, and this isn't one of them. It's a risk, but that's all.

It's perfectly normal to date people your dad's age. It's like dating your dad without incest, it's a win-win

Really? so it's still considered normal right? Haha I know. At first I thought he was younger than his age like late 20's to 30's. But I just saw his post like 1979 (year of the.. I forgot). So after I calculated, like ohhh almost the same age as my parents (both at 44 years old). At first I was surprised but after all the attention and how he treats me, I got attracted too eventually. I mean he is an attractive man.

You should try and stick to your age group unless it's just a flick because something long term with him will end because he dies 30 years before you're even old enough to think about death

That makes sense. I always stick within my age group. Without expecting, it just happened that he came into my life. So we'll see how it goes. Thank you!☺️

There a lot of celebrities with larger age gap than that. Everything works, if you want to make it work. Equal maturity level is more important than age. Age is really just a number.

You're right. I don't mind about the age gap as long as I love the person and if he treats me right. If we have like 20 years he is considered a senior citizen, I will make the most out of it and make it memorable as long as we are on yhe same page.

That's up to you. I don't think it will work out long term but who knows

I know, I wish it could be a long term. I am willing to take a risk. Either he wants to have a child or not, I'll be open with that as long as our relationship is full of trust, respect and love

Well if you get into it, make sure it's not just sexual and it's like any other healthy relationship. Then i am sure it will have the same chances as other relationships

the thing is he only works 3 or 4 days so as I. But we barely meet every week. Like maybe 1-3 days only. But I feel like everytime he sees me, he gets so excited.
