[quote=Anonymous]I'm 22, and I've gone on a few dates with this amazing guy who is 28. I really like him, and generally, age gaps don't bother me, but he and I are in different stages of life.

I'm 22, living in an apartment with a roommate, and I am in my second year of medical school. He is 28, has a well-established career, he owns a house, has an ex-wife, and a 1-year-old daughter.

This hasn't led to any conflicts yet, but I am looking for a long-term relationship and I'm wondering if this would cause issues in the future. One example I'm thinking about is how he would like a big family. I do too! But logistically I want to wait at least until I finish my residency, which would be in about 8 years, but he wants a sibling for his daughter, and so on and so on.

I'm thinking things would be different if I wasn't still in school. Maybe there wouldn't be an issue if I was 22 with a full-time job.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or anecdotes about this type of situation. Thank you!
