dassme Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Hello guys and gals! I haven't posted for quite some time but know I have this question which has been lingering on my mind for quite some time. I really need some insight on this one so opinions will be greatly appreciated. What do u think of dating and older woman? We've been only together for over two months now but it feels like we've known each other for much longer. We just clicked from the beginning!! Oh yeah, I'm turning 30 and she's 38. I know it's an age gap but to me I don't look at the age but rather how I'm with the person. I just feel that this relationship feels right and I want to continue it. But of course there are some people who don't see my point of view as being correct. Please I need some help on this one. Thank you
moimeme Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Eight years is not that big a gap, particularly once you are out of the twenties.
d1410 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 My sister is dating a guy who is 30 and she just turned 41. They're in love and have been for awhile. To me, if 2 people hit it off and that eventually turns to love..then all the power to 'em. Although some situations can be difficult if a family member doesn't agree with the decision....it's your life and yours to live. my 2 cents d
Tony T Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 If you marry her, when she's 70 you will be 62 and wanting a 25-year-old. Isn't love a bxtch? I think she should be more concerned with the age gap than you.

Tony T Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 "How do you know SHE won't be the one wanting a 25-year- old...or a 30-year-old...or whatever?" Excellent point. You strengthen my case, thank you! I'm only now getting used to females having the capacity for the same evil and scummy inclinations as men.
reservoirdog1 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I'm only now getting used to females having the capacity for the same evil and scummy inclinations as men. Some do. Not all, or most, but just like men, some. Trust me on this.
yogi-mon Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I have dated a 38 year old for the past 2 years on and off. I am 25.
cdn Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I don't think the age difference is necessarily big. More important, imo, is whether you are in more or less the same life stage. Do you have the same expectations, say, about having children? This can often be a biggie, especially if she wants them and you want to wait several years. Are you both fairly settled in your careers? If you are compatible in the important ways, I wouldn't let age be a bother.
Arabess Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 AMD, I've posted this before, so I can honestly say.....an age gap is totally irrelevant and shouldn't even BE an issue in a relationship. Even if it comes down to you being attracted to older women and she into younger men....well....you've already got something in common!!! Due to my job, just about every man I run into is younger than I am. Is it an issue??? NO! The only exception is where you both stand on having more children IF you are gravitating towards a marriage commitment. Other than that....it makes no difference whatsoever. NONE! I don't even consider 10 years a gap....it's just a birth year difference. (I always say I'm no older than they are.....I just have more shipping and handling....LOL!) As for YOU Tony (LOL!).....most men at 62 WOULD like to get their hands on a 25 year old regardless if their wife is a decade older or a decade younger than themselves. I surmise either way....their chances are about as good.
