Impressive1 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I was hanging out with friends and they invited alot of their other friends over, I thought this one guy was pretty cute but never really thought more than that about it soberly anyway, I ended up sleeping with him,he's only 22. The next afternoon he acted mature about the situation and glad that it happened, he asked if he should give me his number. I wouldn't mind seeing him again, but I would rather our mutual friends not know what had happened between us. Should I call? Is 8 years to big of an age difference? If I should call, how long do I wait? This isnt' something I normally do, in fact, I have been out of a relationship for a few years now, and never have one night stands. What do you think?
Fun2BMe Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I don't see a problem with dating younger men. I am tired of old men dating women much younger, as if the men are all that. If you enjoy his company, just give him a call I would wait at least a few days. See where it will lead you two.
Author Impressive1 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 Thanks for the reply! Most of my friends are alot younger than I am. I was unsure what to do, thanks for letting me know.

Fun2BMe Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Alpha - she says she is 30 and he is 22, not the other way around. Her friends are younger than her.

XNemesisX Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I don't see the problem in it at all. I'm 22 myself, and while I can't speak for 22 year old guys, I can tell you that 8 years isn't that big of a difference, in my opinion. If I met a 30 year old that I liked well enough, I would date him. I think the real issue would be the one night stand thing. It seems as though relationships that begin like this seem to fizzle out just as quickly as they started. I hope I'm wrong. Definitely just give it a few days then give him a ring. Just be sure that you don't let the whole thing be strictly revolved around sex if you want it to ever be more than that. Good luck
Author Impressive1 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 14? Wow, I didn't realize I looked that young, although I know I don't feel as old as 30 sounds. lol. Thanks for the advice, the entire one night stand thing, well, the last one I had or so I thought to have been a one night stand,ended up in a 5 1/2 year relationship. I will call in a few days and let you guys know how it goes. Thanks so much for all of your advice.
SummerRae Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I agree with u Impressive... Although I think one night stands can lead to awkwardness and a certain set of emotional expectations that can't help but develop when we share that intimacy with someone. But I definitely think that if there is a genuine connection on more than one level, the one night stand shouldn't really hinder things from developing. My ex and I shagged (excuse the british-speak, but I prefer shag to slept w/) one week after meeting...... But I KNEW (or thought I knew) the connection was really strong and the chemistry btwn us was deeper than the pillow and sheets. We ended up having a 4 year love affair. As for the age? I think it's only a number. My ex was 9 years older and it presented no problem (in some ways, I actually felt MORE mature than him!) It's all about the connection, I think. Good luck Impressive and let us know how it goes!
WithOrWithoutYou Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I don't see a problem. He's 22. You're 30, and you look 22. You are both consenting adults. You enjoy each other's company. Why not go out with him, and see where it goes, and why bother keeping it a secret from your friends? Life is short, and among adults, age is just a number. You never know where you might find love, or even just someone who is really great fun to spend time with. So don't throw it away.
life loser Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 ...as long as you didn't tell him you were 14!
Author Impressive1 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 Of course I didn't tell him I was 14, you are funny
