Do any of you think that a 33 year old single male that makes a very good living could be compatible with a very mature 22 year old female that is very bright and getting ready to complete her masters degree? I met this girl and really care for her... but I am concerned if it will ever really work?? We are starting to get really close... should I continue the relationship or no? Our families support us!

In some cases I would consider the age equal.

I am just curious what a 33 yr old would have in common with a 22 yr old girl. My boy is 21 and dates 21 yr old girls. They are GIRLS. Two years ago they were teenagers.

In some cases everything works out wonderfully, in others it doesn't. Honestly, there's no magical formula. I think the key is to take your time and not rush in to anything permanent, ESPECIALLY if you're "in love". You know where that gets ya!!! Give reality time to build real love and a real foundation, and if you're still compatible, then go for it!

Mr. Hurt,

Age different is not important. Follows 4 gifts of love both you would be fine. Get her to understand MB ... IMHO, give her at least 3 more years before you tie the knot. Give her a chance to go through some life ... out of school and start building her career. Minimized the stressfull life events come down to her all at once.
