| Age gap relationships can work when there’s a few years between a couple, but when the gap is as large as yours I’d be concerned. Why doesn’t he have relationships with women nearer his own age? What does he want from you? What can he offer you that guys your age can’t?
You’re probably flattered a mature man likes you, and no doubt he’s thrilled a young lady’s keen on him. How are you going to have this relationship? Will you be able to socialize with his friends and he with yours? What interests will you share in common? How will you manage in a decade or two when you’re still young and he’ll be a pensioner? If you were to have children how would you cope possibly having to care for them and him if he got sick?
Only you can decide what to do, but if I were you I would tell the guy I like him and am flattered, but that you want relationships with someone nearer your age – and suggest he does the same. It doesn’t mean you don’t have to be friends, but I think a relationship with him could be complicated and may bring with it more problems than it’s worth.
