I'm a 46 year old woman and have developed a friend ship with a man who just turned 60. We have great phone conversations and I really enjoy talking to him.We live far away from each other so conversations are by phone. Lately I sense a growing chemistry between us and I sense he may want something more than platonic friendship. Aside from the distance issue, is this too much of an age gap for things to work out?

I've always liked older men, 14 years was nothing to me. But now that I'm older myself, I see what a fool I was when I was young. At 46, I think you know what you are doing,,,,

Lay the ground rules out to him maybe he is mistakenly misread something you may have said in a conversation . but in any event 14 yrs difference in age is a bit much reason being is your thinking and his thinking is on a different age level and will always be. my advise tread lightly. but it can work for the two of you

At 46 and 60, the difference in age in negligible, except for the point Randy makes. BUT, ed shank makes a counterpoint that is equally true.
My personal opinion is to take the next step and see what happens. You are not signing a marriage contract, you are just developing the friendship at this point.
By the way, while I've not yet enjoyed a relationship with anyone much older than myself, I have enjoyed good friendships (and more) with men younger than myself. It's more a connection intellectually, emotionally, physically... if you let age be a determining factor, you really limit yourself (like those "old guys" with money who are looking for the "younger women")
