Awww sorry :/ I'm in my 30's and there is a guy I kind of like who works nearby, and I think he's most likely in his mid 20's. I hear such mixed reviews online about if it works or not, but I guess it just depends on that person /if they are mature/kind etc. Thanks W :)
I did that too, dated a woman in her 30s when I was in 20s. There was 7 years difference. Like all else it was nice while it lasted. On average a woman gets tired of me in about 2.5 weeks, regardless of age or any other difference or similarity. I retired my 30s back in November tho.
Which did you enjoy more, dating a 20 something in your 30's, or the 30 something in your 20's? I guess both could have pros and cons like anything right? lol. Aww don't say that- then that woman was just not 'for you' ; not tired of you !!! You seem like a kind, open handsome guy- maybe YOU would be tired of them in another week :)
The younger one lasted much longer and I would say it was overall a more exciting experience, but in hindsight... I have no freaking clue what I was thinking either time. Thank you for the compliments, I usually only get those from elderly ladies.
It was fine, but it's only for people who are very self aware and self protective. It's best to hang out with people within about a five year range (2.5 years either way).
It's logical. I know where I'm vulnerable and where I am not. When I was young and, without really being aware of it, looking for a mate, I would have never considered dating someone substantially older or younger than me. When I was dating in my 30s I was not looking for a mate; I was enjoying being single and had no intention of bringing a substitute father figure into my children's home. I dated people I enjoyed being around. I didn't really care how old they were. Young people often get hurt because they are looking for a mate and the older person is looking for an ego boost, distraction, and a good time. Bay Breeze has told us she has little experience dating. I hope her experiences are good. That is why I shared my opinion. The funny thing is that I ended up in a long relationship with someone quite a bit younger than I. He was not American and really had no hang-up about age at all. A potential problem was that he wanted children and I had already had two and didn't want any more. Age and life experience matter. And, they generally go hand in hand.

Dated? Heck, I was married to somebody in her 20s while I was in my 30s. When I was 32 Mrs Didge was only 29. And now that I'm 80 she's only 77. You wouldn't believe the rubbish I have to take from her about being an old man. These kids have no respect for age.
