    Well it depends on the situation and on the person who really loves me. I am the type of person who is easy to please. But through time I learned a lot and filter guys whose true intention on me sincere or just playing.

    Love is blind. If two people love each other, then there should be no condition put upon it. Go for it.

    As for me, the age is not important. My husband is 15 years older than me. We have met at behappy2day.com and we are so happy. I love him very much and haven't doubted any second to marry him or not.

    I would have not married her because it may lead to many health problem and family life as well as it is also not good for a good family background. But it is said love dont have eyes with that case i would agree with you....

    Yes if you both are mature enough to understand each other and decided to spend your life together then definitely you can.

    There is no age restriction for love.if a male can fall in love with younger woman he can have a relation with a elder woman also.everything is fair in love and war.

    Yes, definitely.  I have three children.  Two married people their own age and both ended in divorce.  The one still happily married has a wife 18 years older than him, which from the comments here is more unusual than the other way around.  I think what matters is to find the right person for you, not so much other arbitrary factors.

    in every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.
    hmm it is depends on your situation. Marrying is not just like that.. you have to consider many factors before  deciding to enter that.

    what that man only wants to play with you??
    what if that man only want to have sex with you??

    time can answer your question..

    I will never fall in love with someone 2 decades older than me. My reasons are:
    1. I don't need a father. I already have one.
    2. The more age the more gap.
    3. I need a partner not a patient.

    okay love doesn't see numbers... but thats not practical for a long term marriage.The older one might die and the partner is left alone.

    Wouldn't happen. Dating different generations is not my style. Wouldn't happen because I'm not looking for a father figure.

    Yes I would. My husband and I have been married 5 years. He is 22 years older than myself.

    okay I see as a trick question since most of the women I've been attracted to are younger that me-however I geuss I would

    I have to agree (to a certain extent) with Matthew. The heart does want what the heart wants, but personally, it would have to be a love so deep and intense on every level--emotional, mental, spiritual and physical  before I would make a permanent relationship with someone 20 years my senior.
    Case in point.
    When I was 30, there was this lady who I knew was 50 who did business with my company and I tell you, each time she would visit our offices, it was all I could do to not ask her out.
    Need I say More?

    My wife is 34 years older than me, so yes! We've been married for 23 years and I'm starting to write about certain aspects of our relationship as they have evolved over our 23 years together.

    If I was in love with a woman 100 years my elder yes would marry her. Because as long as I love her and she shows me dedication and loyalty which I feel is as vital to the success of any relationship as is oxygen and water is to the  miracle of life, there would be nothing to do but seal the deal and tie the knot if it is really Love. Love,life,loyalty,wisdom knowledge, over standing!

    Love can be blind and complicated but I know people that are 10 years apart and happily in love and married.

    It is a tough one, eyes lie and age is hard to quantify.  By which I mean some do not look nor act their age.

    In terms of marriage it is a big commitment and one would hope that  it would last.  Picking one another as marriage is, trust must rank high.

    I never enteretained idea that anyone would wish to marry me, still a very long way off marriage but I can't help but think about it now.  Limited experience with relationships but enjoy platonic male friendships.

    Some people can be of a different generation and it can be very difficult to establish a balanced relationship.  For example, ifor say the male in the relationship is the senior it can be all too easy to feel the subordinate.  In my life in love, I felt subordinated during an age gap relationship as I came from a different world in terms of background, had not the self esteem/confidence and as a female was a bit intimidated by the difference in physicality (height and strength).  That the conversations were akin to those in shared with my father and own awe at his talents in his career...it could never have worked as a relationship.

    It is interesting that men, well those I have spent time chatting to virtually and in person; they seem less bothered about age than females.

    No hesitation; of course! There are women in their 60s that still look good! Plus, they tend to be more experienced.

    Of course! If you love each other, age is never a barrier.

    No i don't agree this because the age difference is too much important for a good life love is love but only love is not fulfill the cycle of a good life.
