How do I make her see that an age gap doesn't matter!?!?

[R300_PM]

I need advice from the Pistonheads massive. That may seem a stupid thing to say but you've never been wrong yet!

Short Version:

I really really like this lady, big time! We get on very well and enjoy spending time with each other but she thinks I am too young for her (I am 26, she is 37).

If you saw us out together you would think we were the same age, she is gorgeous, intelligent and a really nice person!

I would give my car (thats how serious I am!!) to be in a relationship with her but she keeps showing the 'age' card which I have no idea how to overcome!?!

She has even said she would love to be with me but has the whole age hang-up!!

How do I get her to see that age shouldn't get in the way??

Maybe the car thing is abit over the top!?!

Dye your hair grey and buy a Micra, you will instantly appear to be older.

How do you know it's not just an excuse?

[R300_PM]

I was thinking it was an excuse but we were out together last night and were just like a couple!?!? I don't know what to think!?!

[The Riddler]

She doesnt want anything serious?

[groucho]

Sounds like she wants the fun without the commitment.You have to remember, she's probably been through that already.

[R300_PM]

She has told me she wants a relationship but she just thinks I am too young!

[Pferdestarke]

I bet she is lovely and I believe you when you say you want to be with her.

But, and there's always a 'but', she is right, she's too old for you. Why not wait and find someone younger who you are more in-sync with.

After all, you are just as compatible with other women, you just haven't met them yet.

Buying a Honda Jazz may help on the age front..

[okgo]

Get someone younger, regardless, she will be covered in wrinkles in a few years

Do you want kids?

Paul, you know i am always here to help a mate.
Send her round to me... she'll then be able to decide if she wants the older or younger model

Ask her why it matters to her.

Why does she think 11 years is too big a gap? (I agree with her btw)

Finding out her reasoning gives you somewhere to start undermining it; a woman that doesn't change her mind hasn't got one

[Mr Trophy]

Paul, is that really you??

I don't think the gap is that big, I am nearly that old and could see not see any issue with a 26 year old

Same here, or a 20 year old fitness instructor.

Tell her that if she wants to throw away a good thing because of 11 years, that's up to her.

Leave the ball in her court. . . . she'll come crawling back.

And I very much doubt whether most people seeing it as an issue would have a problem with a 37 year old guy being with a 26 year old.
