I’ve been getting a lot of letters lately from gay men interested in dating guys either much older or much younger than themselves and questioning whether these “May/December” relationships really work out in the long run.

But in short…yes, they can work! But these relationship pairings can pose some unique challenges that will require extra diligence and commitment to communication and compromise. And with most relationship dynamics, there are many rewards and difficulties inherent in these dating couplings.
