It sounds like he's a toyboy.

 Age doesn't matter one bit. I think that just as the two love each other than the age is just a number. If you two love each other than go for it! :)

 No age doesn't matter one little bit if you love him and he loves you who cares what other people think as long as you are happy then you have no reason to worry!

 Adults is cool but if he was 12 and you were 21/ something like that no.

 As long is between adults its alright. Some young people are looking for qualities they can find in their own age.

 If you feel comfortable, and you like him, and you don't feel the age is too different, then I beleive, keep going on with the relationship.

Good luck! :)

 Def for it!! Go for it girl

 As long as it is perfectly legal then I don't think their is an issue here. I don't think their should be an age on love. People may talk but just don't listen. Good luck to you!

 Well my dear I am voting for you but with caveats: It really depends on the person. If he is a young 40 (not in looks, but in actions) and you share interests, likes and dislikes, can talk about subjects without either of you getting bored, then it's probably okay. If you were 18 and he 30 though, I would say no. Age matters less as you age. For instance 28 and 48: Probably not so good, but 58 and 78: Might make it if 78 is in good health. 12 yrs is really nothing once you reach a certain point. If you don't have all those things in common that I mentioned before though, you better cool it.

 I agree. I don't think age really matters...just as long as you love each other is fine. If it's a good relationship...then i would say that his age has no effect on your time together.

 No age does not matter if you both are happy enough with each other, no matter what the world says coz its your life, but your better half should understand you in some situation coz that is the main thing but if you think there is no such problem then that's the best part, well my husband is 8 years older to me, and he always try to understand me in some ways, but one thing problems are the thing which you don't need to invite so be ready to fight against it... Best of luck to you both.. Live a happy life.

 AS long as there is love then age should not and will not matter.

 It doesn't matter at all...1 year...2 years...No big deal how big of a difference...Trust everyone that is for...not against! They suck...Plus...its not like hes 100 and your 17....gosh.

 I suppose age doesn't matter. But there should be some type of ethical and common sense type of reason.

Personally, I don't think I'd be able to date someone younger than me, or someone too much older than me. I doubt I'd ever fall in love because I'll be reminded of the gap.

I feel uncomfortable when people older than me takes passes at me. I''ve been told I look from 16-19, but it just freaks me out when people in their late 20s early thirties try and make a pass. . .

I seriously think, "Don't you even question why I look so freakishly young?"

D:

 I'm 29 she is 22 .. I've never been happier... Only 7 years but still to me ... Age is not an issue.

 At your ages, I do not think age matters much. If you are mature enough, you cn overcome minor differences in perspective.

 At 48 i am not old nor young my wife is 8 yrs older then me.
My parents had 19 yrs difference between them in his favor he was older but they lived together since 1946 ok every couple has ups and downs but even so called good matches like only 1 or 2 yrs difference can have good sparks flying in heated arguments,and in most of those couples it is more what the family and relations say and want to see then that they would be a good match i found out the hard way in relationships that a pretty face isn't everything there is a saying in Holland that i will try to translate to the best of my knowledge it goes like:
From a nice plate you never eat alone.
Meaning that if you find a nice faced girl you always have to be on guard for other guy's stealing your girl.
And beauty is only skindeep,i rather have a bit less outside beauty and a much deeper feeling from the inside, cause that is what keeps any relationship afloat.
Not the Pamela anderson types where you have to watch out with that all the guys don't trip over their own tongue hanging out of their mouth.
If you feel good with him no matter what anyone says it is and always will be your choice what you want to do with your life,you feel secure with him follow your heart

 My wife is 12yrs younger than me and we have been together almost 20yrs and have a 5yr old son, so it can work. When I first met her it raised a few eyebrows as she was only 16 - we took it slow, no pressure from either of us, we moved in together when she was 19. We eventually got married in 1999, the key is love and trust, plus the fact that in my head I am still 25. A friend of hers once said she was lucky as she had married her 1st love, so the magic will never go.

 Yaa i can say you that age doesn't matter in relationship if you can do sacrifices because the person whose age is more than you 12 yrs will think so broad so just be prepare urself that you will get mature with his age.Becoz the life turns the way you handle it so handle it the best you can and you will positively don't feel that he is too old than you.

 I don't thing age matters much. Just make sure that everything else that makes a marriage successful is there.

 At ages 28 and 40, I would hope you would both have enough life experience to judge for yourselves. However, if you look at someone who is 18 and someone who is 30, the life experience in between those ages is generally vastly different and could make a significant difference in how the two relate.

All the best to the 2 of you.

 To each his/her own. I had a relationship with a much older women than me, because i was in praise if older women to start off with and started at an early age. But the last older women that i was with showed me life in a different aspect.meaning everything in general. She was young at heart and we were compatible.

 As per me age doesnot matter if you both loves each other truely and wants to continue a life long relationship.But be sure that the person is a soft one and not rigid minded.

 IN YOUR CASE I think it's fine. I think SOME couples with large age differences get together to satisfy some need they have, i.e. Mother complex. When an older man weds a woman who is a lot younger it can cause problems when he is at the age he no longer wants to go out or if he requires medical care. "He" was "the older man" and desireable at one age but being older he could be having medical problems whereas the younger woman would be fit and raring to go. I don't think an 80 year old is very compatible with a 40 year old for example.

 Honey age is only a number your heart wants what your heart wants. Your heart dont have numbers so no age is not a factor if you are in love.

 At my age, age doesn't matter. My B/F is 13 years older than I. If I was in my mid to lower twenties, then yes 13 years would have been huge.
Way way way back in the day when my grandparents were at the dating age age never mattered. My G/f was 20 years older than my G/m!!! Back then you were considered an old spinster if you weren't married by the age of twenty. Hmmm As the world turns.....

 Although age does not really matter it does depend on the age of the youger person.I would object to my 14 daughter going out with a 24 year old, but I would not object to my 24 year old going out with a 34 year old

 Age doesn't matter a lot when you both are in deep love, if u feel comfortable and get along very well with each other in your daily life, i think 12 years is not a big deal to you.

 Hi, i think age does not matter at all, especially 12 years difference is nothing as long as you guys get along with each other. But if you doubt this i think you are not comfortable with his age, then it matters.

 You're only as old as you feel...so, NO, age shouldn't be a factor in determining a relationship. I know some 65 year olds who are more active and young at heart than some of my 30 year old friends.

 My dear friend, it depends on what type of relationship u r looking for. Age is not really a factor for a good relationship
