I'm 31, and he's 28. I've ALWAYS dated OLDER men, like 6 years older. This would be a first for me. He is totally self-sufficient with a job and his own money, something that my ex's never could say for themselves. I'm scared. I haven't dated in 3 years! Am I worrying over nothing? He's everything I've never dated before, maybe it will work this time. I'm taking a chance to try something completely new...tell me I'm doing the right thing.

First of all, I think that it is wonderful to have a boyfriend like that. Age is just a number, however you are doing the right thing. If your ex-boyfriend's never had a job, or their own money than I think this is a great chance to try something new to you. Don't be scared. Things will slowly take their course. Dear, you are worrying over nothing.

I dated a younger man and it was the best relationship I ever had. True love does not come past you very often so if it seems right then hang on to your man and don't let anyone tell you that its wrong. You are both adults and three years is nothing. You would never hear a man asking if it was right to date someone younger. Age is a matter of mind , if you don't mind it doesn't matter.
Have a great day.

My last boyfriend was six years younger than I, but we were compatible in many ways. At first, I'd laugh at the thought that he was in the Sixth Grade when I was a High School Senior. We met when I was 33 and he was 27, and were together for nearly 7 years. Before him, my ex-husband was 7 years older than I was; we met when I was 20 and he was 27, and were together for 10 years.
At our age the difference is pretty irrelevant, unless it's more than 10 years. I can guarantee that you can find older men that are less compatible and less responsible than the one you've been lucky enough to find. It's all about the person. If he's living his life by the values you admire, then enjoy!!

Nothings wrong with dating a younger man (as long as his not underage). My girlfriend is 4 years older than me, and she is totally different than the rest. If u r worried bcause of the age difference, pls dont. Age is just a number. What importance is that u lov each other.

you are doing the right thing age does matter as well as people say it doesnt because everytime a younger person gets involved with someone older it always end the same way they thought they could control me they acted like my mother/father you only have 3 yrs on this young man and you say he's what you wanted although younger than yourself he seems as if hes doing good 4 himself age is nothing to worry about in this situation unless you have a problem with it than you haveto ask yourself is this what you want because he wants it hes with you but do you feel the same

I have always dated older woman and have gotten along pretty well with them. I realize that there is a sterotype out there about younger men but its just that, a sterotype. Dating younger men can be fun too, especially if you have found a mature one, its like having the benefits of a younger plus the benefits an older guy. Go for it.

You're doing the right thing. Even if he's younger, he's closer to your age. If he likes you, that's great! ^_~ It's good for the heart to be nervous. It's even better for the lifestyle to take a chance. It'll be okay. Best of luck!

You are doing the right thing. Age in years doesn't matter, it's the age of his mind!
