I am 36 years old, newly divorced, and not looking for a serious relationship. I recently met a man who is only 24. He calls me everyday and wants me to go out with him. Part of me says "go for it" and the other part of me says"stay away". Has anyone been in this situation, and if so, what should I do?

Go for it! If you're not looking for anything serious then what's the problem? It could be "how Libby V got her groove back"!!!

There is nothing wrong with dating a 24 year old.. You are both adults.. However, if you are recently divorced, I would suggest to take some time out for yourself without rushing into another relationship....
I would call him and let him know up front what you want and don't want, that way you are both on the same page... There is nothing wrong with having companions to go out with every now and again....
GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

I haven't been in this situation but I would consider dating a 36 year old guy and I am 24. I think there is a lot to consider but there is nothing wrong with at least giving it a shot.

Go for it girl!! There is nothing wrong for a grown woman to date a grown man.So what if there are a few years age difference.I am soon to be 31 and was divorced about 3 and a half yrs. ago.I met a man that was23-I was 28.He and I have been married now for about a month.I couldn't have been as sane throughout my divorce without him.Now we have a beautiful 2 yr.old son together.Life is short so go on and live it.

I havent been in that situation but I dont see whats wrong with it AS LONG AS he is a mature 24 year old.
I am 39 and I dont know too many very mature 24 year olds.
Thats not to say he is not, but he might not be looking for what you are right now.
Dont be too quick to be in the dating game again and be careful...dont let yourself get used by a young guy.
Good luck!

You are both adults, there is nothing wrong with dating him. You are not looking for a serious relationship, so why not have some fun!
In time I am sure the age difference will be blatant when he can't relate to the same sorts of Pop culture and wisdom you have accumulated.... but what the heck!

Why Not? as long as you get each other mentally, having fun with each other, got some kind of chemistary going and you enjoy each others company, then the age thing does no come into it since your age gap is not that big. If you were 56 and he was 24, then maybe you would have less in common.

Go have fun,but realise thats all it is. When I was 55 I dated a guy who was 43, I fell totally in love with him. Everyone including his family said what are you doing with such an older woman? Eventually, it got to him and he started seeing someone his own age. Now 3 years later, my heart is still broken, and everyone my own age looks terribly old to me. I had a taste of a younger man,it's like having a piece of fresh fruit, who wants an old wrinkly piece of fruit??????????

As long as you are on the same page, go for it! 20 years ago my sister married a guy 9 years younger than she. It worked out OK!
Why you would want to have to train a young man is beyond me though!

Ofcourse its ok. I think you are only as old as you feel and your not exactly "old" are you. Coming out of a divorce is a stressful thing and being with someone younger and lighthearted is probably just what you need. Men have do it so why souldnt us women. He obviously see's something appealing about you. Go for it and have fun! :-)
