Technically it is ok, but why would any 23 year old want to do that? The REALITY is that it gets more complicated when there are kids. Also, in generally any 23 yr old woman is at her peak of youth, beauty, health, AND (very importantly) she has a large variety of men to choose. Why chose Mr.Difficult?
Believe me girl, in 6 years there will be less to choose from, and in 10 you are in different category (more people your age will busy with someone else).
Use your time wisely because it goes by faster than you realize.

Everybody is different... if you are comfortable with it, then it's fine.

If it were me, I'd not be OK with it for myself, considering at 23 years old you are only 7 years older than his one daughter. Yuck- even though you're an adult, it's kinda like he's a *********!

What do those numbers add up to?

It is perfectly ok if you are ok with it. However, the fact that you have to ask if it is ok means that you have apprehensions about it.
If you have to agonize about the appropriateness of the relationship, it may not the right thing for you.

Legally it's fine. In practical terms I think the kids would be freaked out at having a stepmom who's young enough to be their big sister.

I wouldn't do it. That would creep me out, being barely older than his kids. And how do you think his daughters would feel, having their dad date someone so close to their age?

I'm always suspicious of older men who are interested in me that way- but I understand that I'm very biased about that, so if you're both ok with it, maybe it's not so bad..

it's not morally objectionable but i think that you are doing yourself a grave injustice by wasting your youth with someone who has so much baggage.

If it's right for you then go for it. The only thing I would caution is do you want to be tied into a relationship like this and to really really think about what you are getting into. Do you want all the responsibilities of a house, kids, etc. or would you rather find those things out on your own first? I'm not saying it's bad to get involved - there are plenty of people separated by age differences similar to what you are looking at. Age is only a number so don't let that bother you. The right question here is, is he the right person for you?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it... The question that you have to ask is why you are even questioning the relationship. If he and his kids treat you with kindness and respect you should be happy. You can certainly go out and find another guy that may be younger and does not have kids but if he does not treat you as well would that be better? Examine and judge your own wants and needs and frankly who gives a s#it what anyone else thinks as long as you are being treated well and are happy. If he is not treating you well then kick him to the curb. You deserve better...

if you care about him and loved him, age, kids, or anything shouldnt matter.
