Being a man is a full time job, you may need a little vacation to gain some perspective. Best to you both.

Cragman,


You crack me up. Lol. Do you realize how many teachers and students have married through the ages? That would include HS and College.

It happens quite often.

In fact a study has been done that indicates male teachers have a preference for younger woman. And when their marriages go south they have a preference for younger woman to date or to marry. I will have to find the link to the study in a research journal and post it. Think about it. Male teachers are surrounded by a sea of younger women. It impacts all male teachers. Who you think is attractive and why changes as a male teacher over the years. For women teachers not so much. Males are immature.

Yes, she's aware of Fallen Angels mating with Earthly women and having Nephilim offspring. She reads and knows The Good Book. She herself has an incredible testimony how she came to know Yeshua. Shes a Messianic believer. Does she know there's a massive craft on the Moon that even "the Moonwalkers" know is there? Probably not. But I don't think it would surprise her. Truth sometimes is more incredible than fiction. We live in interesting times.

If you are lucky enough to find someone who meets you with her heart open, and you are compatable souls, hold on and be grateful for each day. Damn the torpedoes!!! And best of luck to you.

P.S. sorry 4 typos - can't stand new phone.

There are few guidelines in relationships. So everyone's guidance here has limited value. Follow your own hearts.

I hope it works for both of you. Relationships are incredibly hard.

Well, It really boils down to individual personalities. When I was in my 20's it was normal for me to date men 10-20 years older because my personality dictated that I needed a more mature partner than I could find in my age-bracket. Other girls my age were dating older men for reasons like money, or some Mid-life crisis ex-somebody ( who generally just wanted a hot young girl on his arm) managed to impress them. These "relationships".. based in fantasy with no common ground to anchor the age-gap invariably ended badly.

I just watched one go down in my personal circles... It was a near 30-year age gap with an extremely selfish and immature hot-young-thing. A guy in total denial about his motivations for keeping her. The relationship was totally creepy in my eyes and was a 3 year train wreck before she finally dumped him.

You may have an advantage with this one in that you share a faith and her cultural background may influence her views. (speculating of course). In the end age gaps can be an issue though, so I'd give it a good long courting period and be willing to look at the relationship with open eyes. Listen to your friends and family if they start warning you there are issues. If her parents are opposed it's hopeless and you should move on.

... and do not marry her until she can name the four Beatles ;)

Four?

Seems a little sick that a high school teacher is thinking about marrying someone that could have been his student just a few years ago.

Maybe twisted is a better word.

So you are twenty five years older than her..

You have not known her long..

She looks you in the eyes when she talks to you..

and you've done some fun activities in group settings..

and you want to marry her...../

Does she know you're looking for lonely hearts information on Super Topo?
The age difference may be irrelevant given your judgement in where you seek out information.


But, regardless, good luck, have fun, keep your eyes and heart open!
