I fancy him, I’m 42 and he’s 30. Is this weird?
Not weird , if you are both happy , but the chances of that relationship lasting the long haul might be slim. The reason I am saying this , not to be rude but because Most Men are attracted to a girl for her beauty first , if you lose your beauty to him , he might eventually leave you for someone his age or younger. Why it’s better for a girl to go for an older guy or a guy she is close in age with , if you were only a few years older than him? then that’s not a big deal , but the age gap you have with him might catch up to you in the long run if you lose your beauty with age ,

I'm 37 and my girlfriend just turned 23. we've been together since she was 20. No it isn't weird. literally the ONLY question that matters in any relationship is this. Do you make each other happy?
As long as the answer to that is yes, then there is nothing wrong with your relationship at all. if the answer is no, and you stay together anyway. then yes. that would be weird.
I'm a 40 year old woman with a 26 year old man (which is a bigger age gap than yours).
At first I was worried because I thought the age gap would be weird. However, as time went on, I realized that we connected on so many important/fundemental levels (much more than ex-boyfriends I had that were my age) that the age difference didn't matter.
It's not about the age difference. It's about how well you two connect and how compatible you are.
If that's the case, then the age doesn't matter. And it's not weird at all.
if you both enjoy it, then nothing else matters :D

Not as long as you keep it in perspective. You start talking seriously about stuff, and the fun will end.
Not at all- you're both adults.
It is not so strange, there are many couples with much wider age differences, if you get along well together, there is no reason to feel weird or worried.
If you are a very beautiful and attractive woman and look at least 10 years younger, the difference will not be noticeable.
I dated a 41 year old when I was 24. The only weird thing was the disapproval of her family and friends, which torpedoed it.
Nothing weird about that. As long as you two are happy. Assuming he wants you as well. It’s fine. Stop being concerned about what others may think. It’s your life, it’s his life. Make a happy life together if it’s meant to be.
not at all. You're both adults and older than college age.
until you both are
-happy.
-respect eachother.
-know about the love language of each other.
-Budgets are sorted among each other.
I don't think so you should think about what others think. Be happy and respectful.
Age cap is never weird unless you make it weird in your mind!
Not at all. I’ve been with that age difference before. Not really dated, but slept with / hooked up etc. But I would date that age difference if I found the right person.
Not weird at all, that is fucking hot. I love older women❤️
You should watch White Palace. It worked out just fine for Susan Sarandon.
Aside from that, I'm not sure it matters that much, you're both established adults.It's fine just be honest with yourself about the possibility that it could end or he may sleep around.
I think after 25-30ish age gaps can be shrugged off. It’s taking advantage of inexperienced youngsters that’s the problem. By 25, they’re experienced…maybe dumb…but either way you’re in the clear.
Not in my book! Enjoy and don't worry about anything said detrimentally they are just jealous of you enjoying your life. Hell what would they say about me if I were dating you LMFAO
nope not at all, you're a Cougar!
Enjoy, you deserve to have some fun.Just don't expect anything long term cuz the gap is too big and after some time he'll go for a girl his age..
it's not weird but i'm not gonna lie, i would not go for a girl that's 42 when i'm 30.
If the feeling is mutual go for it, but also be realistic about your needs and his needs.
Weird? A bit.
But if it works, then go for it. Hope it works out for you both.No!!! As long as it's legal, safe and consensual HAVE A GREAT TIME and FWTT!
