would you date a younger man?

[redhappy]

I've never been out with anyone more than 2 years younger than me. The father of my dcs is actually 10years older than me.

When I was 23 I worked with a boy who was 17. It was obvious he really liked me, and there was a lot of chemistry there. But he was too young for me.

in now 32,he's 27. Last night we had a lovely talk on facebook. There was definitely still something there, and he made hints about the possibility of meeting up. I think I want to and the age gap doesn't seem as significant now.

What's it like dating someone younger than you? Good sex is my guess? My sex drive really kicked in when I got to 30 so we might be quite in sync in that respect?

What about a relationship though? What issues commonly arise?

It'll be fine, go for it.

Well, not sure how interested he is. I think he might just like messaging, but the reality of meeting up is too much! Casually asked did he want to meet up sometime and he sort of joked his way around answering the question.

However! Had decided he was a no-go, and seconds later I got a message out of the blue from another younger man I haven't spoken to for about 10year's!!

Ha ha you certainly have a collection!

and yes: don't waste any time and energy wondering about a man who can't muster up immediate enthusiasm about the chance to see you.

My $0.02

When I was 24 I had a year long relationship with a women who was 31. While we had many shared values and interests and indeed had some wonderful moments together we were ultimately at very different stages in our lives. I was only a few years out of uni, still paying off student debts, still enjoyed partying, playing rugby and living a semi carefree lifestyle. She on the other hand wanted to settle down and start a family, her perfect weekend involved diner parties and trips to the garden centre which quite frankly bored me to tears, I did not really warm to the idea of being labelled as her 'toy boy' by her mates who all seemed terribly grown and sensible. Needless to say we parted company, it was very sad as there was genuine love for each other but we making each other miserable as were just not on the same page life wise. She met another chap her own age who could offer what she wanted, thankfully they are still together and very happy. Something we would not have been if we had stuck together.

I think it depends if you're on the same page lifestyle wise?

14 years between me and DH to be! And we've just had a baby.

Couldn't be happier.

Mind you. He's mature for his age, and I've spectacularly refused to grow up think Tenerife for a week at 35!!!

(before I met him obviously!!!)

Absolutely hotDAMN !
