| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 3:07:42 AM | | too much for what ? I mean if your just gonna date the girl , just go and find out what she is like and see what gives. If your asking "is the age difference too much for the long term" then the answer is no - age is just a number and like the previous post says luv is luv , bruv ,just go with the flow till the river runs dry eh ? | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 5:19:41 AM | | I'm dating a man 8 years older than me and I think he's hot! I don't see any problem if you're just dating, especially if you share similar interests. If you really really love each other you can overcome any age difference. To me more than 10 years is pushing it, unless you fulfill each other's psychological/sexual void. I think you being 38, and she 29 might pose a problem when it gets to the point where you pop the question, because you might not want to start another family. And since she's 29 and probably never had a family she might want to have babies. Are you ready to raise children way into your sixties? You should be honest and upfront with that. | |

(my favorite quote)
As long as you both are legal adults..then have fun!! enjoy each other. | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 8:38:40 AM | LOL - no way should it be a problem. My parents had an 11-yr spread and got along wonderfully until my father's death. My ex & I had a five-yr spread; obviously that didn't work out so well.
It is what it is - if you find love, hang on to it. | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 8:41:05 AM | I've been with/dated ppl from 9 yrs my junior to 9 yrs my senior.
I think it depends on the individual personalities of the people involved, their maturity levels and what they each want out of it. | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 8:44:30 AM | I have never found it to be a big deal, personally me speaking I like 10-15 difference.
Then again sometimes you find a really immature 35 year old and some really mature 23 year olds.
Like someone else said, it's only a problem if you make it out to be one. If someone can connect with another person who is decade younger then so be it.
I was reading somewhere that the divorce rate among couples with a 10-15 year difference are lower than that of couples with a 1-3 year difference. Interesting. | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 8:45:31 AM | | I feel that if the maturity level is the same, then it is ok, provided you are both of legal age. I tend to date within 10 years..older than me that is...guys that are younger than me? they have to at least be 21.....obvious reasons there. | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 9:32:25 AM | | I'me older than my profile (pof mistake) I've dated 25 to 66yr old women, a bunch inbetween, my attitude is if you can get the date and have fun with each other, go for it! But you have to remember dating and marriage are two completly different issues. My attitude requires a lot of soul searching for a younger, older, marriage to work. lots of variables, mental and physical, and beleive me they will pop up, just logic, and my 2cents worth. | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 9:34:36 AM | | Depends when the age difference is and if there is TRUE love there or not. If the age difference is in there 30's and up for example then it's ok, as long as there is true love there. | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 9:53:20 AM | | As long as you both have things in common then there shouldn't be an issue. I have dated men up to 13 years older than me and 5 years younger. I have found with younger men that they want children and that part of my life is over, but again, as long as there no major issues and you're happy - go for it! | |

| Is a 9 year age difference too much? Posted: 3/5/2006 10:02:39 AM | I don't see that as a problem...as long as you care about each other who cares what anyone else may think...
My bf is 8 years younger and it's not an issue for either of us.. | |
