She is half my age.....

I'll add to that thought of 2 decades difference.
The 6 women that are off and on in my life are between 25..31 ..33 and 37.. and I am 63.
Yap met them all in the escort business some I saw first as a client and other I met first when I was a driver...
A few are very good friends and most i have helped when they needed it and they all have helped me out when I needed a hand too.
Personally I don't think 25 or 35 yrs different matters when it comes to friends and it never mattered much to them ...other then they prob never really thought of any relationship with other then a friend ..and some time maybe some fun
.
Sure I met them when I was in my 50s and now in my 60s and dealing with cancer. I do see that I would not ask or expect a young women or any women to go thought this time with me as a partner.
As for me I have worred about them and What they have gone through in the yrs that I have known them and often thought they might pass away before me just because of the life style they chose..
I do know that they will be my friends to the end days.
Yes would say deffinetly go see where it could take your life . Just be honest with each other going forward.

IMHO it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved. Trite but true.
Ok, so in 20 years' time the age difference will seem more pronounced, but if you get to spend 20 happy years of bliss, isn't that worth the risk?
It was said before... age is just a number... if you are good together, then go for it.

I know there's an old cowboy parable that goes something like......
"It's not the two dates on the gravestone that matter....what matters is what happened in the dash that's between them."

You couldn’t have said it better Sy!!
“Happily Ever After” is for story books. Enjoy what you’ve got my friend, don’t look back and don’t over analyze. If you’re lucky enough that it moves to the next stage, good on you and I have no doubt you know what you’ve got to do to protect yourself financially. In the meantime enjoy ever effing second :thumb::thumb::thumb:
A wise man told me..the right age formula goes like this......take the guy's age,divide by 2, and add 7.
From your posts I'm guessing you're mid 40's?so, 46 divided by 2 equals 23, add 7, comes to 30.
You said she's mid 20's, so that's pretty close.
Of course, the "formula" might be a crock.
My theme or motto, or guiding force is YOLO...You Only Live Once.
I'd say, go for it, see what happens.If you "run her off" you may regret it.
When a good thing ends,as most good things do, I've always tried to be serene about it..."don't be sorry it's over, be glad it happened."
Good luck with the path you choose.

This. It works for a while, but inevitably the age gap starts interferring with tastes in everything from music to technology to food and ability and desire to go out a lot and recover, and friends who just never like their friend being with "the old dude."
The old saying age is a number is so true in my opinion, don’t plan or wonder what’s it going to be like in 10 years just if you both enjoy each other’s company plan for tomorrow and build some good memories so you have something in 10 years regardless if it worked or not.
Well no need to overthink it... The Lounge can do that for you.
It didn't sound like you were talking marriage or equivalent here but people already seem to be debating how your estate is going to be divided.
You say you're taking it slow and that sounds fine to me. People worry about the future too much to appreciate the present. All these doomsday scenarios don't come out of nowhere; people don't grow apart overnight. Treat it like rock climbing: You steady yourself each step along the way, keep your mind on what's actually going on around you (and enjoy the moment while you're at it), you don't overreach in one impulsive go, and even though it's "dangerous" it's still possible to reach great heights.

I say why not enjoy the ride nothing lasts forever, if things looking serious down the road and you have something to loose if things go sideways in future prenup might be very good idea or you become statistic with all the horror stories good luck there !
