i'm 23 and my boyfriend is 44

Answer 1

I dated a girl briefly that was not yet 21 and I am 46. We connected in each other's music differences best we could, and I enjoyed being the leader.  Although nothing developed I studied the possibilities of a long term relationship and in my situation, no kids, no wife it would bring only good to her and I considered accepting it. A lot depends on the man. Is he patient? is he healthy? You don't want to deal with medical issues do you? Is he genuinely interested in your experience as a person and accepting of flaws?  You need to feel good about him too or it will probably wear off and you may despise him in later years. My ten cents!
