Posted: 6/12/2009 9:15:58 PM | It's about the connection. Do you have passion and chemistry with this person? Do you respect each other? Listen with your ears and your heart? Do they?
When I was 19, I dated a guy 44: best thing I ever did. I ended it (foolishly, but I was very young) because HE had reservations. I was married more than 20 years to a man 10 years older than me. I dated a guy 13 years younger for a few years, and the age difference was one o the things we occasionally teased each other about, but it was never a PROBLEM.
Two people who take their time and get to know each other before they get into a relationship and go into it believing that it can and will work -- heck, a couple like that can take on the world together and win.
Age is no more a determining factor for happiness than having the same favorite color is. But having the same favorite color could save you from fighting/disagreeing about the car to buy or the couch to put in the living room, and those are the kinds of fights that nobody wants to lose. And big age diferences can bring their own challenges to the relationship. But they can also bring a great deal of richness. | |

The father to my oldest two kids was a year older than me, but ever since the experience that I had with him I haven't dated someone my age. It has never been that I was looking for an older man I was just looking for happiness. The father to my two youngest is 18 years older than me he was 40 when we had our first child together he never had any kids before then and he couldn't have been happier. The whole point of this is that you have to look for the values and things that make you happy with someone not at the age. If you are embarrassed about your partners age then you shouldn't be he is one that makes you happy and that is what counts. It really wasn't that long ago that guys were marrying girls that were a lot younger than them and that was the way that it was. You are dating someone to make other people happy you are doing it for you. | |

Posted: 6/14/2009 7:34:18 AM | Let's be serious: you'll enjoy having a good time with a 40 yrs old, restaurant, shopping ect..!
when it comes to a night out, or wonderful day on the beach, or must I say " a REAL RELATIONSHIP..." you'll be craving for a young early or late 20's gentleman.
You know for sure you really DO NOT want to have a relationship with a 40 yrs old, although the good time (spending, $ security appearance might have a way of convincing you, making you believe that you do.) the fact is: "you using him, & he's using you"
A 40yrs old will know that, YOU know why:
you will never invite him to your friend parties
you will never introduce him to your parents
you will never take him to the club dance floor and have a grea time with him
you'll probably never introduce him to your friends, at least not the ones around your age range. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 6:56:15 AM | | I'm 27 and my fiance is 48 and we get along great. When we are together we both forget about the age and just have a good time. Maybe part of it is because I've always acted mature for my age. In high school it was more important to me to make sure I had all my homework done then go out and party which I never did. I've never been in a bar or drank alcohol and I have no desire to. I bought my own car with my own money. I don't dress to attract attention. I have a job and pay for my own things. I pay for my guy and me to go out on dates. I don't like fancy resturants or expensive gifts. My boyfriend is a very successful business owner but I hate to have him spend money on me. When we got engaged I told him I wanted a cheap engagment ring and he listened to me and I got the ring I wanted and it was well under $100. | |
