Drseussgrrl Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Welp - my last attempt at a relationship was a bust after he met my friends last weekend and it was unanimous that he was a d-bag. LOL He had not one nice thing to say about my friends, and the next morning at brunch he openly criticized one of them (she's going through a breakup - got drunk and cried), said that women were "needy" for wanting continuous contact, and went on to make other assumptions about women in general from atop his ivory tower. I caught him in a lie about his whereabouts the previous Friday night (not that I even asked, his story just didn't match up), and there was some other chick's sunglasses tucked neatly in the passenger visor of his car. Yuck. It was such a turnoff that regardless of how much fun we had had up until that point, I just couldn't stomach his narcissism any longer and dumped his ass. Felt good, too. Anyway I'm back dating again. I have a date set up for Wednesday night. The dude is 27. I'll be 34 in a week and a half. He seems pretty mature, great career, very cute and we have a lot of the same weird taste in music. So LSers do I just say eff it and give it a shot or what. 2

mesmerized Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 go on the date and try to have fun but don't expect a relationship out of it. Just my honest opinion.
Ninjainpajamas Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Some of you are going to drive me to drink... 13
gaius Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I'm a few years younger than my girlfriend and she was a little hesitant about the first date. Showed up though and it'll be the one year anniversary in a couple months. 2
ses Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Go for it! You deserve to be happy, and age shouldn't be a barrier. Younger guys are fun. My sister and her fiancé are 4 years apart (she's 30, and he's 26) and they are expecting their first child this fall. I know another great couple with a 7-year age difference. They have been married for several years now, have children together, and are still crazy in love. I wish you guys the best! 2

I say get that young buck if you want him. Hopefully once I hit my late 20s in a few months, you 30s gals will stop looking at me as some kid. I do look young for my age though =P 4
Eternal Sunshine Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I younger men. I am close to your age and would date 25+. I am not sure I would really expect a committed, long term relationship from them though so keep your expectations in check. Congrats on dumping the D-bag. 4
skydiveaddict Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 the next morning at brunch he openly criticized one of them (she's going through a breakup - got drunk and cried), said that women were "needy" for wanting continuous contact, He's right about that. It's a fact, not an assumption
suladas Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I younger men. Younger men just have so many advantages!
Eternal Sunshine Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Younger men just have so many advantages! Younger men are hot....and usually sexually insatiable. 2

Felt good, too.Yeah...but you did have fun up to that point didn't you Guys, let this be a lesson on the female psyche 2
Emilia Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 So LSers do I just say eff it and give it a shot or what. Definitely give it a shot. Looking forward to the update 1
Leigh 87 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I like slightly younger men. One I was with recently was great fun. The other guy sounds lame. And stupid. To leave another girls belongings around. Sort of an insult to your intelligence.
Titania22 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Im a major proponent of dating younger, 27 is too old for me though. You sound like me 2yrs ago.
Imajerk17 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I'm confused. Your last thread you were gushing about what a great guy he was. Did he suddenly show his true colors last weekend or were the signs there all along? Well Ive dated younger and Im older so who am I to say its not worth it. Have fun!

After you have a imposed a few psychological scars on him and aged him emotionally, the difference in chronological age won't matter as much. It's easy to be too fussy when it is a luxury you can't afford. 1
therhythm Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 yeah... go for it lady... age difference means nothing ... maturity level is everything!
iris219 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I'm sorry to hear about the last guy. He seemed promising at first. At least his true character came out sooner rather than later. Give the younger guy a try if you're looking to have fun, but don't expect much. I'm 34 and I wouldn't do it because I can't imagine a 27 year old wanting to get married and have kids anytime soon. I also don't think I'd have anything in common with someone that young. My bf is 32 and I was nervous about that age difference! 1
RedRobin Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 OP, given many men's reluctance to commit at all, I'd not turn away any opportunities with men who are reasonably close in age to you. For me, it is +/- 5 years, but that is just me. 2
Phantom888 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Age gap really doesn't matter once you are past 25. I dated women 8 - 10 years older, and it's never the age gap that destroys the relationship. It's always one party not meeting the expectations of the other.
Sunshine87 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I'm 26 and I find that most of the guys referred to as "younger guys" I.e 25-27 are rather immature. Only the serious-minded ones are looking for a long-term relationship/ marriage. Lol. I'm confused because I don't really find anything so fantastic about guys in my age group....except the few select ones. Do enjoy yourself 1
Star Gazer Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Age gap really doesn't matter once you are past 25. I dated women 8 - 10 years older, and it's never the age gap that destroys the relationship. It's always one party not meeting the expectations of the other. IME and IMO, the age gap where the man is younger doesn't matter until after 30. That said, why not just go on a date and see how it goes? But like others have said, I wouldn't expect a LTR.
