I don't think a large age gap in and of itself is a bad or unnatural thing. I have dated women between 12-15 years younger than me (the youngest being 25 at the time), but if you are consistently having one night stands or bouncing from one sexual relationship to the next exclusively with much younger partners and reject the possibility of a relationship with similar aged people out of hand, it does hint at some kind of psychological or emotional issue.

I thought you have always stated that you would not date a single mom?

I'm attracted to younger men as well and see nothing wrong with it. That being said, I most likely wouldn't date someone more than 10 years younger at this stage in my life (although a couple of years ago, I dated a man 14 years younger and it was just fine) nor would I go more than 5 years older than me. The last couple of men I have gone out on dates with were older and it just felt meh to me. But I'm not giving up!

Change is good and opening up new possibilities is even better! Everybody changes and learns from relationship to relationship. I am behind ya on this one. Have fun Friday!

it was accidental (long story) but I ended up dating a 31 year old and then a 28 year old (I am late 40s).. they were pretty and muscular .. it was fun and they were sweet, it was more of a friends with benefits kinda thing, but my forever man is my age and an amazing lover(my main criticism is the skill level my current man, is skilled and that takes practice)...!

Did she mention her concerns about the age difference at all?

I know I said I wouldn't. But I got to thinking; What if the woman I am supposed to marry is a single mom? It doesn't hurt to try out the unknown.

Young men are really easy to manipulate, control and use for whatever reason, if that's your thing....... Emotionally mature, grown men who've been around the block, so-to-speak, don't necessary tolerate that sort of nonsense. Having fun w/ a cutie is one thing, so I'm not knocking it. . . * But beware ~ I had an old friend with a disturbing pattern of dating really young guys and she completely warped them all. It was hard to watch, honestly.. People draw and deal with those on their level. Great minds think alike, but... emotionally immature minds think alike, too, so. . .
