I don't think it's weird at all. In fact I had a romance with a guy 15 yrs younger. Okay he is a total a-hole but the age was never an issue...

My best friend is a male and he's 8 yrs younger. We don't see the difference.

I speak to alot of males online who are younger. I think we learn something from everyone....no matter what age.

Get rid of the feeling weird and enjoy the friendship *S*

You answered your own question.

Enjoy the friendship like 1GreatLady53

Age is a state of mind. Some are older mentally and emotionally than others. A prime example, my brother did not get married until his was in his early thirties. His wife is 9 years his senior. He kept dating women through his 20's that were the same age and he finally realized he was "older" than them emotionally. Once he settled that conflict in his mind, he met someone, fell in love and they have been married for 12 years with 2 beautiful children. Friends, lovers, whatever, age is a realtive thing....just enjoy the person for who he is and how he makes you feel. Best wishes

You're 50, he's 35. No big deal. You're both old enough to have figured out the relationship basics.

Now if you were 35 and he was 20, I'd have a different answer.

As long as you both have the same expectations for the relationship, I don't see anything weird about it. I have a male friend 12 years my junior. We get along because we have some of the same interests and happened along in each others lives when we needed someone to talk to and are both aware that that is where the attraction ends. Good friends are hard to find, and we never know how long we might have with them, so just enjoy each others' company!

Not at all.. my friends are varied within about 20 years younger and older for males and females.. we go out we have a good time. Hell one of my best friends is 45 and he just struck up a friendship with a 22 year old gal... and that is all they are friends.. they hike together hang out etc.. I think she would like a little more but he keeps going cool gal but she is 22 what would she want with a 45 year old when we tease him about it.

But why does there need to be an age limit on friendship?

Younger people are good to be friends with they can broaden youre horizons and don't forget we are all someones relative they could introduce you to you're next great love. Don't limit youre self. There are reason we meet people it's not all sexual they may need a mentor you may need to get in touch with the wisdom they were sent ti receive
