Anyways, the issue is that she is 32 years old. The funny thing is though that she looks much younger and I look much older so we look like a regular couple when we're talking. She was very much into me when we first met, until she found out my age, then she kind of backed off just a bit. Since then, she seems to be more into me. Yesterday, we were talking (having a lot of fun) and she said that she loves going to New York because all the men there are more of the darker complexion and she really likes the olive complexion/dark hair look that I have. She also said she wanted to sing a few songs with me (It's a karaoke bar)
Have you ever noticed how much you talk about how people look?

OK, so why are you asking us if the age difference is too much to overcome? If you're not willing to take the risk of asking her out?

He's too busy comparing their skin colors and thinking about how they're going to age together to have any time to do something crazy like... go out with her.

You ever notice this part "she loves going to New York because all the men there are more of the darker complexion and she really likes the olive complexion/dark hair look that I have" was not my words, but her words?

I'm trying to figure out if there's even a decent chance of success here


If the chance is small, I would rather not ask out. The unpleasantness of rejection is not really worth a small success possibility


Damn, I wish she was like 25-26. I would have asked her out first time I met her

And in spite of her giving you some signals (inviting you to karaoke with her, among other things), you're still not willing to take a chance. So...why are you here?

Prove to her you're not just another kid who wants some 'cougar' action. Not that 32 is what i'd deem a 'cougar', some 32 yo women could pass for teenagers and still get asked for ID.

Would you consider that flirting?



I don't assume a woman is attracted to me unless she makes it much much more obvious than that. You never know, she could just be friendly

True, with facial hair I could pass as being older than her. I don't feel any age difference either


Although I have friends in their late 30s so that age difference doesn't bother me at all

She's flirting with you. Ask her out already.
