men or women, is anyone dating someone older than you or younger than you? How is that going for you?

Answer 1

I'm dating a man 15 years younger than I am. The age difference has never been an issue with us. We've worked on other issues over the years but the age thing has never been a negative part of our relationship. He keeps me young and I help him grow up. It works great for us!

Answer 2

I have dated men that are younger than me and, for the most part it was fun. Of course, at this time in my life...I'm not looking to get married.
The biggest difference in age, for me, was12 years. There is an age difference of 6 years with the man I really like right now. I feel that younger men are more my contemporary. I think if you both click, not just sexually, but intellectually and have common goals and interests...age should not be a criteria. I do find that younger men are more interested in my children (not in grandparently way).

Answer 3

I don't think our personal happiness and love lives should have limits placed on them by society. Who's right is it to tell someone they shouldn't be in love simply because of age? There is a 21 year age gap between my boyfriend and I (I'm 27). I have never been happier in my life. Just like with any relationship, it needs to have the essentials like trust, understanding, communication, interests, goals, etc. If those elements are in place, then nothing else matters. Love is the greatest feeling in the world, and age shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing it.

Answer 4

Back in my early/mid 20's, I dated a guy who was 10 years older than me, and a guy who was 18 years older than me. The first guy was really cool. We dated for about a year and have remained friends; we broke up because he moved to California. The age difference was exactly right for me with regard to level of maturity and we had lots in common. The second guy was extrememly educated, intelligent and led a really dynamic lifestyle, and he was also a fabulous lay. But I think I wanted to BE him more than I wanted to be WITH him. And there was also the fact that he was only 3 years younger than my dad (but looked older); that was a bit creepy when I stopped to think about it. I broke up with him because he thought that everything I did was "cute" and I can't stand people who are really condesending.

Answer 5

My husband is 4 years younger than me. It has been a good relationship. My ex husband was the same age as me. I don't have to tell you how that ended. My mother is married to my stepdad and he is 20 years older than her. Last January they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

Age is only a number. It all depends on how well the two people in the relationship are compatible.

Answer 6

I am married to a man 20 years my senior. We have been together for 13 years. The romance has gone, we have none of the same interest and the older he gets, the more selfish he is. We forgot we were friends and we forgot our promise to remain that way. If you are experiencing this kind of relationship, remain friends and some common ground. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Think long term. Will you or your partner want kids or will it be too late for the other one?, In old age will one be left a widow for a long period of time? Then decide if each of you can tolerate those things in the later parts of the relationship for a great beginning and middle.
My husband is 5 years my elder. The way I see it is he is almost as mature as I am. (Some men take longer than others)

Answer 8

My husband is 13 years younger than I am . We have been having to much fun for the past16 years to notice.

Answer 9

My husband is 12 years younger than I am. It is going well. We have forgotten the age difference years ago. It depends on the individuals, age is not important unless they make it important.

Answer 10

IT IS NOT GOOD TO DO SO.DATING MUST BE RESPECTED AND SHOULD BE AMONG PEOPLE OF THE SAME AGE
