| How young is too young? Posted: 11/21/2005 11:10:12 PM | | I have been approached by young men (twenty and over) and I still feel weird dating them...my question is, is this type of feeling common for other people...and if so, does it also work the other way around? | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/21/2005 11:12:44 PM | | As long as they are legal and you are ok with the age difference...there is no such thing as "too young". You are attracted to who you are or have a preference...etc... I say go for it! BUT...if you dont feel right..pass him right on by lol Im only 25 and I wont date anyone UNDER 30...lol | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/21/2005 11:37:22 PM | This is why I rarely tell the truth when a girl at the bar asks me how old I am... if you're interested in me, and vice versa, and it doesn't feel awkward, then what does it matter how old I am or you are? I think there's certain limits where it might feel a little odd, but ignorance is bliss.
Put yourself in the other person's shoes. If you're chatting with some cutie and he asks you how old you are, and then you tell him, he says "oh." and walks away... well, that's not very fun, now is it? If you're having a good time, nothing else matters, and age becomes nothing but an arbitrary number.
I won't ever make up a number, but usually if it comes up, I just look them square in the eye, and as flirtily as possible, I ask them to guess. Then I tell them they're right, whatever they guess. | |

Posted: 11/21/2005 11:45:40 PM | Don't get me wrong elfuego, I've never used age as an excuse to end a relationship, I just feel a little awkward sometimes...like I'm not supposed to be doing this, or I think well, when i was sixteen...he was eight...ouch Have you ever dated anyone older? And not once did it make you feel...I don't know...different than when you're with someone your own age? | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/21/2005 11:48:43 PM | well, I'm 18, The most shallow of waters that I would venture into is 16.
and if sex was in the question, the last thing you want is a girl who you thought was okay with it is screaming Rape to the cops......Ohhh SH!T!!!! IT'S DEEP SOMETIMES!!!!!!! | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 6:09:47 AM | hehe well, i never date anyone my age, nevermind younger. But then again, older mature men are my fetish, so...*sighs*. The biggest age gap ive had is 24 years. Im 21. You do that math. lol
I would however give someone my age, or a few years younger or older a chance if the chemistry was good. | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 6:23:08 AM | When I was 18 I was with a lady who was 33, it lasted over two years and was a great relationship and we complimented each other pretty well I was very active and she was at her peak and knew exactly what she wanted. But apart from all that does the age really matter as long as you get on | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 6:35:46 AM | Age means nothing. Maturity is the key.
When I first started to consider dating, I though an older woman would be the best thing since I had just given everything (and lost) to a younger woman. She was only 3 years younger than I am and she was immature. It's a natural thought. However, this was while my head was all screwed up.
Now, I realize my age span. Typically, it is 18-40. 18 is legal and 40 is a good round number and ten years older than I am. I wouldn't rule out anyone over 40, but I think there's additional things to look at once you get past that age gap. I'd never go below 18, but if she's much younger than me, she better have a head on her shoulders and mature enough to handle a relationship.
It hasn't been intentional, but the majority of ladies that I have dated have been older than I am as of late. It does feel a bit odd when they openly talk about the fact that they're older than me, but it's not a big deal. The thing I get a kick out of is, when I talk to younger women, they'll tell me I'm too old for them. LOL. I'm not talking 18 year old girls because, although I don't quite agree, a 12 year gap is a bit too much to handle for some. I'm talking about 23-25 year old women. LOL. They say I'm too old as if I were old enough to be their dad or something.
Instead of looking at age like this....."When I graduated, this person was in 7th grade." Look at it like this......"If it's all good, when I'm 55, she'll be 50."
Doesn't seem like a big deal at that point, does it???
If you let age determine your dating possibilities, that's your call, but I think it takes a lot of depth out of your dating pool. Maybe even "the one". | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 6:38:11 AM | | Age is just a number. Who cares how old the person is? if they can stimulate you mentally and you have things in common, age shouldn't be a factor. | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 7:24:40 AM | | I agree with Leanne, Age is just a number. The physical, emotional and mental attraction must be present. I have found myself to be attracted to ladies a bit older than myself. I personaly have found that most women younger than me are still in a party mode. They enjoy clubs, bars, and partying more than anything else. At 35 I have two children, pay for private school, have been in my present career for 14 years, and own my house. I have come to realize there is much more to life, I am very stable and looking for someone with the same outlook. I am not saying there is anything wrong with the occasional night out and let loose to unwind but in moderation. | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 8:15:16 AM | age it TOTALLY only numbers... i dont relate to people my own age, much less someone that im interested in dating...
if you are limiting yourself by such a factor as age... then i must say, sorry for you... you need to take them damned blinders off and live a little... your loss!!!! | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 12:19:05 PM | Great question, and thanks for bringing it up. The majority of men I attract are much younger than myself. I have always declined a date.
The first thing I do is I can not help but compare their age to my eldests age. The other problem I have, is eventually this man will want to have children of his own. I did my share of diaper changes, and I made a conscious decision not to have anymore children.
So, what would be the reason to get involved with them? When I get involved seriously with someone, I am looking at it long term, and hopefully for the rest of my life. | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 11/22/2005 12:22:25 PM | I have to disagree that age doesn't make a differance. My first email from this site was from a 26 year old man.That's 17 years! I politely told him I was done raising my kids and was to old to be training a lover that wasn't going to be with me in the long run. I think he was just trying to find some experiance. I told him I was trying to find a mate for the rest of my life. Not a player that just wants to mess with your mind. I finally had to block his messages so he would leave me alone. NOw, if it had been the other way around and he was 17 years older I wouldn't have minded. But 17 years younger, that's just creepy to me. I would feel like I was snatching him from his cradle!  | |

| How young is too young? Posted: 10/11/2007 10:24:13 PM | There's a rule that goes something like this - For the older person: Divide your current age by 2 and then add 7. If the other person is older than or equal to the number you get, then all's good.
So, for a 40 year old woman, she should date a man no younger than 27. (40/2 + 7 = 27)
Also, I recently dated an older woman from this site. Things didn't work out because I was too busy with friends etc. but she was hella awesome in bed - a total sexual goddess! | |

Someone needs some  | |

Age means nothing. Maturity is the key. True but I still feel funny about dating someone younger than me. I feel more like a mother than a lover! | |
