Stage of life is more important than age for you at this point. This guy may be a match based on that. Attraction can grow as you get to know a person.

On the other hand - an age gap that doesn’t look so big now could be a big thing later on. I think about my ex and his 19 years younger second wife. When he’s 80 she’ll only be 61.

I’m 66, healthy, active, learning new things. It would be a very rare 81year old that could keep up with me.

On the other hand, nothing in life is guaranteed. CMM was a few years younger than me but still died on me. If you could have ten great years with a guy like your date, that could be worth it.
