I am afraid to love him because he is younger than me by 4 years. And I am the woman. I am still confused but I love him...What am I going to do? :o(

4 years is not really big age gap. In comparison to me, My husband and I are 7 and half years difference. There are times when I find the age gap can be annoying because of things like shows he use to watch and music he listens to. I don't allow the age difference get in the way. We have been married for almost 13 and half years. But really what is age? I see age as the number of years we have lived. Age becomes nothing if you really love a person.

Love doesn't see age. race, colour or other qualities. love is the meeting of 2 hearts, sharing of feelings, sharing of interest, understanding each other. You should not back up. If you really love a person you should accept him however he is. I have known women with more than 4 yrs difference in age group ,hence they live a happy life. Continue with your love

4 years gap is something that is negligible. Although you as the senior one will have some issues to others. I am thinking that these things will depend on how much you and him can handle the situation. If it is okay for him and you can handle it there is no need for you to be concerned for as long as you love each other.

4 years isn't that big of a deal. Well it also depends on how old you are. My best friend is married to a guy that is 3.5 years younger than her and I have never seen her happier. Age is just a number. If you love him then that is all that matters. There's no rule saying that the man has to be older than the woman.

4 years? That's it and your worried? oh just go for it. seriously...I've dated men more than 10 yrs younger and that is cause for concern. 4 yrs is nothing. If you love him just go with it.

4 years really isn't that many. I guess in some circumstances it can seem like quite a few years. It really just all depends on the situation. If you're in love, age really doesen't matter. If it's meant to work out - it will. :-)

As someone else has already mentioned, the age difference may mean different things at different stages in your life. If you are very young, then 4 years seems like a lot. As you get older, that would be pretty negligible. The age difference between me and my first husband was 6 months (me being older)... with my second husband it was 12 years (again me being older... we met when I was 35, he was 23). Loving someone depends on having common interests, similar outlooks on life, coinciding faiths or belief systems, goals that work in the same direction... all sorts of things. Loving someone doesn't depend on a pre-determined timeframe. Go with what you feel. As the relationship grows, develops and matures, you'll know if you made the right choice... but don't be afraid to love. We all deserve to be happy.

Falling in love is great at any age. There is no rule of law that says men must be older then women in any relationship. He can be younger but his mental age might be more matured then you thought of. Four years is not a long gap after all if you are really conscious of the age difference. If both of you love each other, age difference is not a big deal.

If you feel you love him, why not give him a chance? You didn't mention about marriage there, just a relationship to try things or to test the waters. Don't fret because if you feel that the age gap is really a key factor that could break or make your relationship, then at least you tried before saying 'no' to it. I won't tell you that 'age doesn't matter' because obviously to you it is. So, just a word from the wise, just try it. You never know what you lose or what you have till you try it. It wouldn't hurt to try. I know how you feel, because I myself am allergic to younger men. I abhor the thought of someone younger courting me. But still, if he's sincere and is willing to give it a shot, then why not try. If the shoe fits, wear it! Good luck!

Age isn't anything but a number... UNLESS you make it which is I think what you are doing. Give it some time. Think about it.

If you love him and he loves you I don't see anything wrong with that. Age doesn't matter. Go fight for your love because if you don't you'll be sorry. Remember this love conquers all.

Cristina you know the love is the beautifull realtion in this world. When every body hesitate from you then the people which loves you will never do that. They always will be accept you on every movement. love is only the relation in which no one thing is count so age is not the big element to count. If you love him and you feel he is also love u very much so dont waiste your time and get married with him.
