Is it okay for a 50 year old to date a 22 year old?

Age is a number as long they're legal age... wether male/male - girl/girl - male/girl... As long they care for one another. Heck look at oh whats her name she was 19 and married a 89y/o, yea we know money was involved but she did it and slept with him...as long there is love and legal age leave them alone.

I am a 48 yr old woman, recently married to a 23 yr old man. We have been together for 3 years and are very very happy. Age is a number, it has nothing to do with love. If you truly love the person and can't imagine life without him/her, then go for it, who cares what other people think, your happiness is more important and eventually people get used to the idea, even accept it over time :)
