I read an article yesturday about a couple that just got married-he was 35 and she 21. What's your age difference and what would be you limits on how old and how young would go as it realtes to dating/marring someone of a different age.



Please list you age....

I'm 31 and when I was 21 i dated a a 29 yr old thats a eight yr difference. Although at the time i didn't like be/c he was bossy..treated me like a kid..which i was compared to him...but at the time I hated it...I always told him your not my father...But now that i am 31 I perfer 5 yrs older or 5 yrs younger so we can still relate! It helps.

I'm sure the latter is less common since it would freak out most women to date someone the same age as their son.

um yeah Denny that would be gross.

When I was 19, I dated a 16 year old it went on for about 2 months before I realized how young he was. We met at a football game; I told him I was a freshman; he told me he was a sophomore - didn't know he meant high school until he asked me to go with him to the homecoming dance

I'm 25 and the youngest I've "dated" was maybe a year younger than me. I am not really attracted to guys my age or younger, mostly since the ones I see are all immature all the time. I am attracted to mature experienced men, thus me falling for older guys. My xhusband was 7 years older than me and currently I am involved with a guy who is 18 years my senior. Though stamina and conversation wise he could run circles around some of the younger guys I've dated.
I don't usually care for putting an analytical eye upon the numbers that separate two people dating since if they can relate to each other and get along, why spoil their fun? Who are we to dictate to them what is appropriate? lol, I suppose all of us that are attracted to older men/women are all guilty of the "Oedipus Complex". I was just informed of this by a friend the other week when we were talking aboutage differences...

I went out with a man who was in his early 50s when I was 19 and we had a wonderful relationship. I think as I was always pretty mature for my age the difference in age was not a problem and he was a young 52 .

He was dead sexy, gentle, loving and incredibly interesting and way more fun to be with than boys my age. He knew how to treat a woman right, was romantic , thoughtful and even though our relationship only lasted a few months I still remember him very fondly.
There was nothing of the dirty old man about him at all and we had a ball.

Age is all in the mind IMO and we put too much value on things like age difference when compatibility is really what counts.

Older men can be so much more sexy, less childish and much more fascinating to be with than younger men too.
A "May to December" relationship can be just as fulfilling and loving as one of age equals. it's about people, not about age demographics.

Love is hard to find, and if the package comes wrapped in a little more experience then it would be silly to send it back for a newer model ....

I dated a guy who started college the year I was born.
One of the best relationships I ever had...
