| Is a 9 year age difference too much?
Posted: 4/1/2009 7:05:31 PM | Are you both consenting adults? If the answer is yes....then NO problem. If you have things in common and like each other go for it. Personally, I wouldn't date a guy 9 years younger then me but then that is MY choice.  | |

They will soon be married 21 years.
They are happy and still enjoy each others company. | |

Too bad fate/destiny or whatever can be so cruel sometimes ~ I'd still be with him and he'd still be 9 years younger.  | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 7:32:31 AM | for me that would make him either 35 or 53... (typing it out to see it in print so i can think more clearly, lol)
um... yeah, i think that'd be fine - as long as all the right reasons (compatibility/outlook/attitude/interests/etc) were in place
neither is young enough to be my child or my parent, so why not? | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 9:38:00 AM | I dated a girl that is 10 yrs older than me. It was a good experience and I realized I like the maturity. Now I'm not sure if I could date a girl my age or younger.
If its just casual, then I don't see a problem dating a girl 9 yrs younger. Enjoy. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 7:48:28 AM | | Let's see, the time tested rule of thumb is half the man's age plus seven years so 19+7=26. She is close enough at 29. My grandfather was 16 years older than my grandmother (35 and 19 when married), my father 7 years older than my mother (28 and 21 when married) and my son is 12 years older than his wife (33 and 21 when married). My grandparents were happily married until they died within a few months of one another. My parents and son and his wife are happily married. | |

My grandfather was 16 years older than my grandmother (35 and 19 when married), my father 7 years older than my mother (28 and 21 when married) and my son is 12 years older than his wife (33 and 21 when married). I think what keeps such couples together is not experinced enough woman. Older women know the difference between great sex and just plain and simple and won't settle for less than good...when I was 19-21 I really didn't care about sex...in my 40-s I was not dating much older men to not get into disappointment.
So, as far as you get a 19-21 y.o. virgin is good for you. If you get a 30-40 y.o. woman - it's a totally different ball game...Hurry up when you are in your 30-40-s!! | |

Posted: 4/4/2009 12:13:44 PM | | My sister is 17 years the junior of her husband and they have been happily married for MANY years. I've had relationship with a man 10 years my senior and it was the best so far...age had nothing to do it....it was all about our common interests, etc. | |

Posted: 4/4/2009 1:30:40 PM | | You (the guy) being 38 and she being 29 shouldn't be a problem. Especially when you do the math and divide your age by 2 and add 9 to it (19). In your case that would be 28 (what the minimum age of the woman should be in your case), so go for it! | |

Posted: 4/7/2009 12:27:47 PM | | I wouldnt say it's a problem, when I was 21, I dated a women who was 36, quite a big gap and that lasted for about 3 years, so if you love someone, age shouldnt be a problem! | |

I dated a woman half my age and we got along famously.
I don't think age means a thing - it is the 'mind-set' or spirit the person has. | |
