I am 30. She is 33.
I have not started to go after her as I don't know what will she think?

Beware of office romances. I'm sure you don't want to become office gossip fodder. The age difference doesn't matter all that much. It also really doesn't matter who has the higher paying position - the old stereotypes of the man having to be the superior is no longer status quo. If you find that you both are compatible, that is the focus of the relationship. Start off slow. Both of you should agree to keep things discreet to avoid unwanted scrutiny. Some companies have a policy against fraternization - the last thing you would want to do is to jeopardize your career.

I really don't think that your asking the right question. Shouldn't you be asking if you have a problem with it? B/c it sounds to me that your the one having the problem. I seriously doubt that she will have a problem b/c just face it guys have a way of "wooing" women. So i don't think that is the problem. My personnal opinion thinks that your the one that has the issue. Do you mind dating a woman 3 years older and in higher positions. Some men have this thing with having to make more money in the relationship b/c it makes them feel inferior maybe(I don't know exactly how the man's brain works) But I do know this, that age or a stupid job title shouldn't stop you from pursueing this woman. She could turn out to be the woman of your dreams. Give it a shot what have you got to lose?

Depends on what age you're talking here. There's a big difference between an 18-year-old guy versus a 21-year-old girl. Boys that age are still too immature. But if you're both older, like say at least 25 or so, then it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Job status doesn't matter as long as you support yourself, do what you love, and are working toward advancement in your career.

'I am dating a man 10 yrs younger than me. I do make a little more than he does but I really don't care we take turns paying for nights out and he buys me just as much as I buy him He is always buying me jewelry. He does budget his money very well though better than I do. At first I had a problem with our age difference but after getting to know him, he is more mature and much more loving then my ex husband who is a year older than me. It is just an age it is not a definition of the person you are on the inside.

It wouldn't bother me. It would only bother me if he didn't have ANY job and wasn't trying to get one. 3 years is nothing. If the guy is trying his best and has a lower paying job it also means he is probably willing to improve himself and make more money.
There is something to say about the man who sticks with the same job no matter how low level it is. It shows he has character and good values.
If I had a daugher who went out with a genius who was a job hopper I don't think I'd like that. If she went out with a civil servant with benefits and long term job security I would breathe a sigh of relief. If he were 3 years younger than my daughter I could care less.

I look past the cover and see the real person underneath. After all those values count for more than how much money they make.
Someone my age or a little younger works for me. I wouldn't have the 9 yr span of ages anymore.

Depends on how old you are when I was seventeen it wouldnt have worked, but at 26 it isnt such a big deal. Far as your position don't even think about it unless you break up with her then you might have problems.

Three years is no big age difference - unless you're 16.
And by lower in position you mean she makes more money than you, so what?
Ask her out.

Why would any of that matter to you? all that matters is how you feel when your with him. If he makes you feel good about yourself and happy why on earth would you care about a 3 year difference and his work position? now really sit and think about what I have said.
