I am starting to think that.... there have been many times in the past I have turned people down, only to see them be stand up guys in the long run.

WTH... enjoy it while it lasts then!

I know several long term relationships who began at just about the ages the OP references (his and hers)...to each his own, but guys don't make assumptions based on your own preferences.
I've been with a few older women, my SO is 6 yrs older than me.

I do enjoy older women, I lust after Valerie Bertinelli she's in her 50's a good ten yrs older than me, matter of fact Mrs. Chowhound as well as the rest of this forum is probably tired of hearing me lust after Ms. Bertinelli.

So I ain't making any assumptions based on preferences, all am saying is 9 times out of 10 an age difference like that doesn't last with the guy being that young doesn't really work, but, like I posted, good luck to her, no ill will.

Well, last night he told me he was 21, and I was seriously shocked! I told him his friend said he was 26 this whole time and I thought he was turning 27..... he said his friend lied to get to know me and my friends, and he is actually turning 22... well, HE never lied, he has known my age all along and that I have a 5 year old, and loves my kittens etc and gets along with my friends... he allways just fit in and I never thought anything of it.
What about you and your kid? Do you guys fit in with his friends and family and all that? Or are you kept seperate from all that...

Sounds like a dream guy to me And I've personally known some success stories between (much) younger males and older females (and the females would identify everything you're saying here, I'm sure), so don't let age matter just because cultural custom tells you to set up arbitrary boundaries when trying to find a compatible mate.

And the lesson here is... regardless of how long it lasts, always keep yourself open to whatever/whomever presents in your life. If you, do then you might be presently surprised and just might get exactly what you need. MIght be what you need for now or for the long run, you never know.

These are the questions I wanted to ask. He is only 21, and he has a mother. I wonder how she feels about him dating a 37 year old woman with a 5 year old child. I doubt she will feel that he is ready for that type of relationship. I am sure people will crucify me and say that he is 21 and old enough to make his decisions, but if you are a parent you know where I am coming from. Even if you are not a parent, how would you like your child to be in this young man's shoes? If you are honest, you will say it would not be something you would like your child to do. Also, if someone is old enough to be the person they are seeings parent, I think it is creepy. At this stage in his life, the age difference is too great imo.

At 37 you can't spot a 22 y.o. liar?

I would not go for that. Its not about age either. Its about him manipulating a situation with lies to get what he wanted. You want him to apply that to other things? Because he will.

My guess is he wants to try out an older woman and has issues about age. Otherwise he would not of lied about his age to talk to you.

He has been going out of his way to introduce me to his friends..... they usually guess me from his age to twenty four.... he has told his mom about me and she is ok with it, she would rather me thatn someone who did drugs or was an alcoholic or slept around etc...

His friends are really sweet, and they have a major age range as well, his friends aren't all just his age...

It is kinda like we are a couple of nerds who found a fellow nerd, and so the rest dosen't matter!
