text: does age matter? how old is too old fro a 23 year old women to date this really nice man i know asked me out on a date but he is like 48 i think that is way too old for me he ios older than my mom one of my sisters said my limit should be 36 no older my other sister said it doesnt matter but my mom said anybody over 27 is too old for me who is right should i go on the date i think he is too old for you. he may be a nice man but an age difference of that much means you two probably don't have very much in common. your friends and his would be too far apart in age too. those two factors should be taken into consideration. you also said you thought he was was way too old for you. if you go out on a date, he will get the idea that his age doesn't matter and obviously it does, not only to you but your whole family.
