Michelle, as long as you are fine with the age gap nothing else matters.  Who cares if it's 2 years, 24 years or 24 years? As long as you like him and he likes you....enjoy the love!!!! ;) :D

I know I have always thought to myself I could never go out with anyone too much older then me, if I became attracked to someone older then you can't help.

"Go with the flow" and have a great weekend!  If it's ment to be it will be!!!!!

You don't know my Dad do you, he and his wife have been together since 1984, and have two kids age 21 and 17

If that's to me Brainless no, they've never had any children :d

So similar though. 

My dad has 8 chldren from 3 marriages, the oldest born in 1958, then 1964 to 1975, and 1985 and 1989, so 31 years between eldest and youngest child. 

He has Grandchildren born, 1975, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1991, and I think 1993?, and a great grandson of five years of age.

Michelle, just meet him, see how you get on, take it as fun. After all, it dosnt mean you have to marry the bloke :) Enjoy the company of being with a man again. Dont worry about the age gap, it means little in a friendship, romantic or otherwise, and should it work out, well no one can say our health will be perfect at any given age. Go with the flow girl!
Are you sure its a good idea to  stay with someone you don't actually know? I would perhaps re think that, unless there are others staying, maybe have a room booked. this is not to say hes going to attack you, but if you don't get on, or feel you want your space, it would be good to have somewhere planned to go away to?

You sound really excited, and i hope it goes well for you.

i do sort of know him!
if nbot will just go to my friends back abit down the road

I don't think age should matter at all.  If there's a connection then thats how it shall be :) Good luck to you!!!!!

When my mom got married she was 24 and my dad was 37. They're still together after 27 years ;) ...... I don't think it makes a difference really. It's so difficult to find the right person these days, so age is the last thing you should worry about!

When i met my OH, i was 16 and he was 34. Oh, and my boss my mum was great from the start but his family weren't thrilled. My friends thought i was nuts, but here we are 6 1/2 years later with 2 children and never been happier.

I do sometimes hesitate before mentioning how old he is but it doesn't bother us in the slightist. It does seem to make people think i am older though. On my birthday last year i was talking to a work collegue who asked how i was, i said 23 (which i am) and he laughed and said 'You wish' ! when my dad came along (he also works here) and told him i was 23 the man was mortified!:D

I've always had an older man thing, in fact my big crush at the mo is older than my mum

dont worry what other people think, when it comes to the end of the day it's you and him together on the sofa not anyone else. (unless you're into that sort of thing......LOL)

Michelle...never mind about 'getting along'....do you fancy him?   :)  :)

let you know on monday! ;)

Go for it and enjoy ;)

Hey this is all better than EastEnders! (That's something coming from ME you know!!) :D :D Now we just need a webcam so we can all WATCH as well!! Seriously Michelle, good luck, I've had a partner 19 years older than me, the age thing was never an issue, just the fact that he was a total plonker was. :)

Oh I love Champdogs, you've all cheered me up, had a rotten day with nothing but sick animals and bad news. Can't WAIT until Monday now for the next installment! Can we have a Champdogs wedding online???

Oh and in my experience what matters more than anything else is to have an interest in common -it can work without it but makes life SO much easier when you do! :D

lol glad ive cheered you up hun!
hope it all worksout now dont want to dissapoint all my CD gals!

Go for it girl :d :d   All the best! 

I could do with a show judge :d :d  I'm getting old now you know in my mid 30's!  Will have to start wearing mini skirts and tight tops, on the otherhand, maybe I should just stay single!

Im 49 yrs and my husband is 76yrs next month, we have been married for 10 wonderful years,weve both been married before and had horrible marriages and wish we had met each other many years ago. We are each others soul mates and we are so very happy and totally in love.

Now that is really lovely, see age doesn't matter a jot! :)

i would go for it age is a state of mind. my husband is 22 years older then me we have been together since i was 17( i am 25 now he has just tured 48) it took alittle time for my mum to get used to it all worked out in the end

Go for it!

My partner was 30 years older than me and we were together for 10 amazing years.
:D

Age means nothing.

my hubby is 14 years older.

my daughters partner is 26 years older than her she is 21 and she is so happy with him , they have given me the most wonderfull grandaughter, as long as she is happy, and they look after each other and respect each other i do not have a problem with it, she was worried about what people would think, i told her if other people have a problem with it tuff, it is her life and she is in charge of it.
so good luck to you and take whatever hapiness is thrown your way as you never know what is just around the corner.
