dating older men/women

Do you really need to deal with the age issue if you are not serious/exclusive? Unless he's, oh, in his sixties and you are in your twenties I don't know that it is necessary to cross that particular bridge, texasprincess.Are you planning to introduce him to your family? If not - just wait. If it turns out he is "the one", surely your happiness will be paramount, and they won't freak out over the age difference.

No.. he's not in his 60's! haha

And I'm not planning on bringing him to meet the family anytime soon ('cause like I mentioned, we have just gone on a couple of dates so it's not like we're about to get married! haha), I just wanted to be honest w/ my family and not feel like I'm "hiding" something.... but then at the same time I don't want them to freak out.. esp. my dad b/c he's protective of his girls.. hehehe

I'd treat him like every other boyfriend - if the family asks "How old is he?", then I'd tell them . Otherwise, I'd just work it in casually at an appropriate time. Good luck!
