:cool:

My BF and I have an 18 year age difference. We've been together for over 9 months and things have been great. We're in it for the long run with hopefully having a family and getting a house. The age difference doesn't bother us, we forget most of the time until we actually think of it and of course he's happy cause he scored a younger chick. lol. We make fun of eachother's age sometimes just because it's funny. I joke about senior citizen stuff. hehe. Even though I'm in my 20's, I think I'm mature. He doesn't look his age either. He looks like he's 30. I've been in enough relationships to know that this one is right. And if you have a good man (or woman) you shouldn't let them go. I definitely lucked out :)

Indeed. ;)

I dated a 26-year-old briefly when I was 17. Age is just a number...the compatibility between the two people is what really matters.

(My parents, however, failed to agree with me on that issue.)

Exactly. I dated a 26-y/o when I was 18 and...Well, dad never found out (I was living in another state), but my mom wanted to rip his heart out. Eh. Now that I'm a smidge older, I still love older guys. My two current interests are 30 and 31.

So I want to be a 50 year old man with a hot young thing, but I don't pretend it's something it isn't and say age is a number.

Re: dating older men/women
 

Already did. I was 22 and he was 35. He was also my semi-boss. He didn't look (or act) older than 25, though.

bump bump bump

When I was 22, I dated a guy that was 37. Bad choice.
When I was 29, I dated a guy that was 45. Good choice.
When I was 37, I dated a guy that was 35. Worst decision of my life.
When I was 41, I dated a guy that was 28. Bizarre choice.

I doesn't come down to the age. It comes down the the person.

I'm old as hell, and my last date was young as hell. I like robbing the cradle.:o:D

Seriously, I tend to date younger women. Like 10 to 12 years younger than me. A lot of people think I look a lot younger than I actually am, so it just ends up that way. I like it.:D

And the flip side of the coin:
I've just started to date younger guys, as in up to 10 years. I got tired of hearing about the wicked ex wives and being with someone who didn't want to get off their butt and go somewhere. I'm put at anywhere from 5 to 10 years younger that I am, good family genes and healthy lifestlye now following, and see no need in a the just start dating stage to correct anyone.

Someone with a sense of humor and not ready to roll over and play dead: really important.

I like younger men. Always have, always will. I am very youthful and look very young for my age. As long as they are legal, that's fine with me.

Older than me is another story. I do not feel comfortable with anything beyond 5 years older than myself. It may work for some other people, but honestly it is not for me.

My husband and I are 14 years apart. We were introduced by a mutual friend who's age is somewhere in the middle there. Anyway, our ages didn't exactly come up when we first met, or for a while after that. When we finally did the math, we realized if the age difference was a problem it would have come up already on it's own. There really have been no issues with it since.

Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore seem really happy together
So do Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise
A big age difference doesn't really matter when you're in love

As for me, though, I would never date anyone 10 years younger or older
Because 9 is just a tad bit too young, don't you think? :D :D :D
And 29 seems really old to me. Because that's almost 30. And to me, 30 is old. lol
But that's just me :)
