Age differences in relationships

I want to ask you guys something. I am 54 and have a very young lady who shows interest in me as I do her. She is 26. I can do the math and I have already talked with her about the cons of such a thing but she says it is no problem. I mentioned that in 10 years I'll be in my mid 60's--if I live that long and she will still be a very young woman. She insists it is no issue, that she wants to be with me.

My biggest worry here is that I don't want to bog her down in having to care for an old man. She says that is all part of loving some one, which is true.

Part of me says to go to her and part of me says no because I truly care about her and don't want to see her hurt.

What do you guys think?
