I feel like I must have posted in a thread like this at some point in time.... but I can't find my reply.

Anyway, I dated a guy 8 years older than me, and it worked out pretty well. I had some issues with him being a parent, but we got along very well and had a reasonably healthy realtionship. That being said, the reason we broke up was somehwat age-realted. We had been dating a long time without being in love with each other. I was totally OK with continuing to date him, however he felt pressure to move on and find someone he could marry since he wants to do that sooner rather than later. So there you have it.

I'm "seeing someone" (we're not serious) who's 3 years older. We dated when we were in high school, I was 14 he was 17. That was bad, because we just weren't on the same level. But now, things are much better. The age difference doesn't seem as big.

lets see....

first guy I ever went on a date with was 26 and I was 19... 7 yrs difference

2nd guy was 22 and I was 19... so 3 yrs difference

3rd guy (and the only one i've been really serious with) was 25 and I was 20... so 5 yrs difference. It was a rather big difference but it didn't seem like it. He'd spent the first few yrs of his college life at the citadel and was also a soccer player while there so he was on a very strict and rigorous schedule so he never go to really party, so he did that the few yrs after. He wasn't quite as mature as most 25 yr olds, but that was fine with me.

4th guy was 20 and I was 20, but he was 6th mnths younger than me. VERY immature (although he is constantly telling me how mature he is). This didn't work out sort of b/c age. He didn't want to be serious at such a young age :rolleyes: and I was looking for something serious. Instead it ended up as a f*ck buddy situation.

the guy I may very possibly start dating soon is 20. he'll be 21 in august and i'll turn 22 in november. He is pretty mature for his age and I think age won't affect us. I'm already a yr behind in school so if it turned out serious we would end up graduating at the same time.

I've never dated anyone younger!

I've never dated anyone more than 2 years older than me. I think that has been mainly b/c I've been dating the same guy for awhile.

Man, I've been with bitches from 5 years younger than me to 10 years older than me.




-I'm such a slut.

Not a slut, just loved...;)

I've had 3 serious boyfriends and 2 of them have been one year older than me, and the other one was my age (a couple months older.) I like dating guys that are older because I think it's rare to find a mature guy at any age (just my opinion!) but it ups my chances slightly if the guy is older.

I think in college, the age difference doesn't really matter. I don't know any seniors who date freshmen, but I don't think it would be that big of a deal. I guess just because they'd both be in the college atmosphere, just the senior would have more experience under their belt.

Personally, though, I wouldn't date anyone more than 3 or MAYBE 4 years older than me. My sister and I are 4 years apart, and it just seems funny to me that I could be dating one of her friends.

Gotta remember that one. :cool:

I have dated it all but the love of my life is 3 years younger. It's not an issue now but when I'm 40 it will be, at least I bet it will!
