My husband is 13 years younger than me. There's hope for you, yet.

Breaks are good. They give you fresh perspective.

I just need to figure out why I can't keep a woman interested beyond a month of dating. Part of me believes I should date older women seeing as they don't play games and know what they want. Therapy might be in order because it's an issue I've been having for 2 years.

Yeah. Give therapy a try. Sometimes, you just need to work through it to get yourself into a place where a relationship will be possible.

I was married to a 2 year younger guy and it felt like there was a decade between us even though he was very smart.


I am usually drawn to slightly older. Current bf is 9 years older.

You know, it might not be anything with you (or them) it could just be you aren't a good match. When I did online dating I never kept interested (or was interested) in anyone more than a few dates. It just wasn't right. Took me took me two years to finally meet someone else (and the person I dated two years ago wasn't really good either... it just lasted a few months. The relationship was very one sided with me putting in all of the effort and I got dumped anyway). The relationship I am in now is 50/50 with putting effort into things.

Older women can play games, don't fool yourself. Although from what I see they are a lot less likely to do so and are more mature in a lot of other ways too (less needy, less insecure, more confident sexually, etc).

You should take a break though, at least, I always did and I found when I did it lead to stronger me and stronger relationships in time. Kind of like working out... you can't do it everyday, you need rest to recoup.

The good thing is we saved our friendship. Now, I need to figure out why I keep attracting the wrong women.
