CARL45 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I was invited to a party recently. At the party was I was trying to date. I had been talking to her for a couple of weeks on the phone. At the party we did an activity in which we told people are hobbies, jobs and are age. Well this woman said she was 26 and once I heard that I said cool see's not older than I am( I'm 25). Well about a week after the party I was with her and a friend of mine. I joked with a friend of mine that he was going to be a old man because he turns 30 in a couple of weeks. The woman hearing this turned to me and said 30 not old I'll be that in three weeks and four months. Once I heard that I asked her rather foolishly wait so how old are you? She didn't answer, but I was disappointed and annoyed. I don't want to sound like I don't like older woman, but I always want one around my age. I feel more like a child when the woman is a few years(at least more than two) older than me. I have been thinking about just not caring because normally its the older women who take relationships seriously opposed to the younger who don't care. I am wondering if I should not even care and just pursue her anyway?
BackUpOrGetStung Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 If you like her, pursue her. Something this trivial should not discourage you from pursuing her.
Lizzie60 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Come on... it's only 5 years.. and you're both very young.. You're talking about a 30 year old woman.. not an older woman..
TaraMaiden Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I'm 5 years older than my partner. My grandmother was 11 years older than my grandfather, and my cousin is 7 years older than her husband. I'm sorry, what was your question, again?
Arabella Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I'm 26 and my SO is 22. If anyone is bothered at all by the age difference is me, not him... At your age, I doubt it makes a difference. You're both adults. Just make sure you're on the same page as far as short-term goals go. Since she's a bit older she may be looking for someone to get serious with, settle down, etc. If you're looking for a serious relationship too, I'd say you have a better shot at it with her than someone younger. Best of luck, Arabella
