Dating age gap.

[ohbovva]

If you were a 29 year old with a toddler, who wants at least one more child one day, and is ready to start dating again, what age range would you be looking at?

I'm trying OLD but all of the men I seem to be attracted to or like the look of are around 38-42. Is this too big an age gap?

I've only ever dated men my age and it always seems to go wrong.

Pros and cons of dating someone 10ish years older?

Not sure what I'm doing

I don't think it is too big an age gap. If those are the ones that get your attention then those are the ones you should go for.
That said I'm 37 and DH is 46 after 20 years together there are starting to be occasions when I look at him and see an old man. Not that I love him any less nor would I do anything differently but the age gap is becoming more obvious.

I don’t think it’s a bad age gap at all. I’m 39 and on tinder lots of guys around my age state they are looking to have kids and don’t have any yet.

By that age, hopefully they will have grown up a bit and have a career/their own house etc. Not sure what your financial situation is but if you’re claiming single parent benefits you would need to have a partner who was able to support you financially whilst having more children and obviously you’d lose your benefits. So having a partner who is older and more sorted in that department is a good thing.

I'm not worried about losing benefits or money etc. I'm fairly skint but as soon as my son goes to school and I can go back full time my situation will be so much better. I just want to meet someone lovely who can keep me mentally stimulated and make me happy, and vice versa :)

My DH is 20 years older than me and it has never been a problem. We have 3 kids.

@OcarinaBear do you think he looks at you and thinks the same? I don't mean to be rude at all, just pointing out that we're all aging.

Just look at the person rather than age - ten years isn't a big deal. Especially with the man being older for biological clock reasons etc they have the luxury of time more so than the other way around. Best of luck
