No kids, that's unusual. In that case there is not baggage where her ex would always have to be involved in her life and that is a good thing.

A lot of women in their 40's or up that are divorced by their wishes if they have maintained themselves can still attract plenty of guys even younger ones. Since their kids are grown they are free to divorce and think of themselves again. Seems a growing trend. While the ex hubby if he wants younger, will probably have to use craigslist and pay for it at that point lol.

But 10 years is not a huge gap. 20 years is a different matter often.

I am the 42 year old woman who was in this exact situation about 2 years ago, but we cooled it because neither was looking for a serious LTR and both of us had to deal with our own lives/financial situations, etc. Recently, we've been back in touch and the chemistry is still hot, so we've decided to devote more time to get to know each other, maybe a little slower this time around.

You never know, as the more time we have spent together, it seems we are clicking a lot more than either of us originally thought and he's been there for me at important times lately, which means so much to me. He's a mature 32 and I'm a young 42, so maybe that's it?

Good luck and enjoy getting to know each other - have fun

It is not unusual that a woman doesn't have kids.

Go for it. I did it and it was great. Should have kept her. Maybe the biggest mistake I ever made. My sister is married to a man 11 years younger. 29 years so far.

You will have to accept that you will never have music tastes in common. Everything else is what you make of it. Try "hanging out" for awhile and see what happens. By the way, using the expression hanging out has nothing to do with class.
