All depends on the age range: Middle of the road 30 yo with a youthful 49 yo of either sex doesn't sound so odd. When I was 30 I had a thing for a 48 yo admin in my office. She looked soo good! I ran into her when I was out to lunch last month. she is now 58 and she still looked soo good! I was wondering what she looked like and was imagining that she didn't age well cause she was a sun goddess, I was wrong!
If you found a really nice man, who has a great personality but is way older than you are, will you refrain yourself from a relationship due to age or go ahead??? If you like him and enjoy his company but still don't feel a physical attraction but a spiritual attraction instead??? Tell me what you guys think???
I wouldn't date any man that I felt no physical attraction for. I would be his friend, but I would not have a relationship. Why would I want to pretend something I didn't feel?
Don't underestimate the generation gap, either. Different generations will see the world from different perspectives, and it won't change over time either. The age difference between my parents is 13 years, and it was 19 years between my mother's parents. I asked Mom once, "Is it true that as the years go by, the age difference between spouses becomes less of a big deal?" She burst out laughing and said "No!"
It's like the reverse of that "mindset" list that comes out every year from Beloit (The Mindset List).
The highlight of his life might have been disco and seeing Ronald Reagan get elected. Anything happening in popular culture since the fall of the Berlin Wall might've never been on his radar... So attitudes and information that you take as common knowledge, he'd be totally in the dark about. He's never seen an episode of Oprah, or a Quentin Tarantino movie. He not only missed Goth, he missed Grunge. Don't ask him what he thinks about Wikileaks. He still mails paper envelopes to pay his bills every month. He assumes you will be all too thrilled to take over the cooking, cleaning and laundry on his behalf. He won't understand why you care about the environment, and he won't understand why you don't care when he rambles on about his favourite Paul Newman movies.

I doubt I could date someone that much older. It's too bad though because much older men sure seem to like me.
I believe that love can be blind... spiratual is not enough. Just 10 years is a big gap and if you aren't sexually drawn to him... it will be a very hard road. You might think it isn't important now but you will be his "care giver" in the very near future and if you are very much in love... that shouldn't matter... just keep that in mind because it is a reality unfortunately.

You never know... My latest ex (as many others) is 20 years older than I am. Now I'm ill and he's pursuing the next "perfection."
