I met a guy online who does the same job on me -through SM of that job.
He is about 10 years or so younger. But he is looking for someone older that him about 10 years older -that is his first criteria.
Now I can see why you might have a criteria of 'not having kids'etc but but only date women older than you?
He says it's personal choice -that's what he wants. I can't help but feel maybe it is related to the fact he is 35 and he can't have children medically -his long term partner left him after years of trying for a baby -as she wanted a child. She is now married and has a child.
I suppose it no different to me refusing to date someone who lives far away -as I know I'm not up for any relocation.
I just don't want to be with someone younger than me because they wanted 'older'.
He seems nice and pleasant etc and funnily enough I've relocated from 6 hours away from him to 2 hours away -so a relationship might be feasible.
It just worries me a bit. He's upfront and honest. I support I could say -I do use age as I wouldn't date someone more than 10 years older. etc
My ex husband was nearly 10 years younger -but his age never came into why I wanted to date him or not.

Would you date someone who was very specific that they were looking for someone older?
