[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL (age 46) is pretty, smart, funny, and has a good professional job.  She has 4 children, and has been divorced for 3 years.

She has recently started to date a great guy (whom she met through her professional circles).  Everything about him is great except his age -- 66 years old.

I'm sure the guy absolutely loves having a girlfriend who's 20 years younger.  I'm not sure what the advantage is for my SIL (other than not being alone, which didn't really bother her).  She asked my advice, and I let her know I'm just happy if she'd happy, but that a guy so much older might be starting to slow down pretty soon, and that they are just at different stages in life.  I also reminded her that she has so much to offer, and that tons of guys in their 40's and 50's would be interested in her.  (At her age, she could perhaps do something like eHarmony.)

Any thoughts or input welcome.[/quote]

NP I would tell her to take things slow but, it is fine for her to have fun.  The only concern I would have is how he treats her children ( esp. if they live at home) and how they like him.  Just because you are dating ( see the thread my girlfriend won't marry me!) doesn't mean you have to marry.[/quote]
