I'm just curious as to how you met. Do you work with him, is he a customer where you work, etc... As for if a relationship can work with the age differences, well, ask my man, he's 22 years older than me. Sure we have our differences and our arguments from time to time, but what relationship doesn't? However, in my case I pursued him.. for a lil somethin somethin...lol Actually, I don't think the age difference makes as much of a matter as simply common interests, humor, past, etc... the same things that make a relationship with people of the same age work or not work.
However, I do think, as with anything "blind" you need to be careful. If you met through a mutual friend or work or something, then you can probably get his "story" from someone at least somewhat reliable. But if you just had a chance meeting, then (age does not matter here, just a general precaution) be careful and see who he is behind the scenes before you start anything serious.
OK, enough cautionary preachy blah blah... Just be yourself and see what happens!
