I’m 52. There’s a woman at work I like who’s 33 but I think she’s too young for me. Plus her father is a cop and knows where I live.

Thank God...a guy with some maturity.Yes,33 is too young for you.Forty three probably wouldn't be...fifty three certainly wouldn't be.There's a lot...a LOT...more to a good marriage than "whoopee".The closer you are to each other in age the more you're likely to have in common.The more you have in common the more likely it is that your marriage will be a good one.

And of course.massgopguy,I was speaking in general terms and not about you personally.

Why?

People get way to hung up on age. Ask her out. See if you have things in common. Maybe she is too young for you. Or you may be too young for her.

What have you got to lose?

You think she is too young because of her age, or because of her maturity?

Age is no indicator of maturity.
All sorts of things factor into the maturity of a person.

I know a couple who married years ago, when the man was in his early thirties. The woman was 15 years older. He was mature. (”When you’re grown up you’re grown”.) They are still in love and happy. Their marriage has lasted longer than those of many of the people who whispered and talked about them back in the day. He is almost 70 now.
