What are the chances of two people with an age difference of 27 yrs. ever being happy?

there chances are great as long as they both marry someone close to their own ages

Maybe he knows it won't work with the age difference, or he could be already married.\n\nK

i have 2 friend whose wife is about ten years older than them. They are all happy with their families, so i think age does not matter as long as love binds them.

Hey if you guys have chemistry, then trust me it will work, i wont say age is just a number, but the age difference doesnt really matter!

All it seems to be showing is that they are together because of feelings, not looks. And since they both are 30, are probably perfect for each other.

Age isn't a barrier to love.  I would guess that a lot of the 'eeew' comments are  made by those who are in your age group.  I'm older than your boyfriend, and I can tell you that however old he is physically, he probably doesn't feel that old mentally.  I still feel about 34 but I'm in my fifties! (And I don't look that old, either!)\n\nHowever, you must be practical.  When you are 42 he will be 63.  When you are 63 he will be 84, and he may well be very elderly at that stage while you still have the energy to go dancing.  If the thought of caring for him at that stage doesn't put you off, then keep going, and disregard the funny looks and comments!

I think this.  Love is a beautiful thing and we are fortunate to find true love.  Unconditional love that lasts through all the trials of life.  It doesn't matter the years between the two as long as you two function well together and truely love each other.  Good luck, congratulations, and peace to you both.

Yes, of course. friend ship between opposite sex very possible and very good and healthy. But always avoid meeting each other in alone. And if possible have friend of good age difference, preferably elder age.  Good luck.

Any age as long as you are the happiest man on the face of the earth

Depends on the end result.\n\nIf I finally find my ultimate soulmate at the age of... say... 40, that would still be quite nice. Much better if earlier.\n\nBut if I end up still searching for my soulmate at the age of 80... that would be pain in the a**.

Not at all, if you're both happy

True love doesn't recognize age.....but 20 isn't too far out of the question, I had a g grandfather that was 30 years older than my g grandmother...they lived a long happy life together

Honey, as long as this guy is nice to you, understands about the difficulties such age differences mean, and is basically a good guy then date him, have fun, but don't let him press you to do things you don't want to. I married a man older then myself and have been very happy. It takes longer for men to mature then women so really he is basically your age right about now. So the real question is do you want to date some one who is the same age as you? lol

working together with your dads sounds like a recipie for disaster. however, if you want it to work it can. i know lots of happy couples who are so far apart in age

For sure...I have just met a couple who in their eighties have found love.  They just got married, and I think it's sooo cute.

I think that the older we get, the smaller the age gap becomes.  Ex.  There are 8 years difference between you now.  At your age, that may seem like a lot, but when you are 30 and the other is 37, that doesn't seem so bad.  Back to an actual answer:  Do YOU think the gap is too big?  I agree that things will be different when you are 18, but if you are truely interested in the other as a person, then I think the age gap is dismissable. But that's just one person's opinion.

No there is not, poeple think they have found true love and then it fizzles, if it was true love it would never fade. Why do poeple stay together for 50+ years? Simple, its a comfort thing, think about it, if you were with the same person for 50 years would you all of a sudden want to have to start your life over? Nope, its easyier to just stay sometimes no matter how unhappy you are.
