Would it be wrong for me to try and date girls several years younger than me?

Question

You see I'm 34 and just about every woman near my age is either married or has kids (I love kids but a friendship I had with a woman who had a little boy went sour and it was twice the heartbreak since I really loved the kid, so I stear clear of that) and so I'm left with a lot of girls from ages as early as 18. I would rather date woman in their mid twenties but I feal I should try and be open to younger ones too. Everyone I know says I look younger than my age but still would all you young woman out there think I'm just to old?

Answer 1

Funny, I prefer dating younger guys too. Some of my friends think its weird but ya know, I dont' want to deal with other people adolescent children. Though I havent' had to deal with that anyway. The one boyfriend I had with kids didnt' have custody of them and as he was in the military they didn't leave near us. I don't mind really little kids, I am good with them and they always like me. I just don't rule someone out because of their age, regardless of whether they are older or younger. Its more about how they affect me and whether or not we can carry on an interesting converstation. My kids aren't an issue when it comes to dating, they are 15 and 20 so it doesn't factor into it. It should have more to do with what you have in common and maturity levels. I have never had patience for immature people period! People will look at you as a leach though if you come on to young drunk ones at the bar....at least make sure they are over 21, that would be my suggestion.

Answer 2

Alot of people say "age aint nothing but a number", but even if someone is 18, and thats legal now an days, they're still consider to be a teen in my opinon. I wouldnt date anyone more than 5 years older than me. Theres nothing wrong with dating someone around their twenties if ur 34, just be careful because at different ages, people think alot differently from one another. It should be based on how you feel, and the woman ur dating feels. Good luck

Answer 3

I will give you more than a few reasons why it may and may not be a good idea. I'm 18, I am serious with a guy who is 29, but we really don't get along at all. But we have great sex so that is probably the only reason we are still together. I flirted with him from 15 on...lied to him, telling him I was 17, which caused even more problems. And since we don't get along, I have already cheated on him twice with younger guys, and I'm sure his been out with older women. The only reason I am still with him is because he is now getting me a place to live. But I want to see younger guys so bad it is not even funny. It's caused alot of problems. But I can't speak for you. Oh yes, and forgot to mention, his Mother hates my ******* guts, man.

Answer 4

well, i'm 21 and was dating a 36 yr old when i was 20... it lasted about 6 months. i was attracted to his strength; younger guys don't have the same ... balls, i guess, for lack of a better term, and it's too easy to walk all over some of them, or maybe that was just where i was at with love at the time. but, let me tell you, i did feel awkward at times in public with him; we obviously were an odd match. The thought that crossed my mind most was that people would think i was young and dumb, and therefore easily manipulated, thus the reason for dating such an older man.... maybe it was paranoia, maybe not, but in testing those boundaries that define the "norm" i realized that i am not impervious to social standards; however, that is not what tore us apart... he was too domineering, and i don't care what age a man is, he is never too old to treat his woman as his equal.... if he wants to be with her, there's a reason, and respect her for whatever it is that draws her to you, but do not make her into a plaything... just a little advice

Answer 5

This is just my opinion...obviously. But I have always kinda thought that dating someone ten years younger then your own age was about as far as you should really go. Whether you look younger then you are.... that is about all you will have in common with an 18 year old girl. And this is coming from a girl who HAS dated someone much older then 10 years older than myself. good luck.

Answer 6

Okay, first things first. You mean WOMEN, not GIRLS.

And yes, as long as they are 18, go ahead. Just remember that there is a big generation gap. You may find those relationships are not as easy as you might think. The difference between 18 and 28 is a lot bigger than the difference between 35 and 45, even though both are 10 years.

Answer 7

as for the age distinction no some all of us is 20 possibly 30 years aside and love one yet another greater so than they could somebody there very own age. as on your subject you're in a point the place you could not date an older woman human beings will think of she is unwell and you are going to be able to get her arrested. you could not date a youthful woman human beings will think of your unwell and you are going to be able to get arrested. you could not date a woman your guy or woman age reason if issues pass to far you may get arrested. be conscious once you are the same age i did not say you the two get into difficulty that's by using the fact interior the regulation's eyes you're male you're greater mature. next you're easier to put in penitentiary maximum states have greater male prisons than woman so it costs greater to soak up a woman. sorry yet your terrific wager is to attend until your 17 or 18 then date somebody your gained age or older. then you incredibly haven't any criminal issues or you could wait until she is 17 or 18 and attempt to have a relationship yet good success. she isn't the same guy or woman you knew while she became into 11 human beings advance throughout there youngsters no person is comparable to they the place as youngsters. or very few are.

Answer 8

Honestly- I dated guys around 32 when I was 17, 18. At the time I thought it was cool, and I was "mature" enough to handle the relationship. In hindsight I think the guys who dated me were kind of sick. They really could have found women closer to thier age. Pleas don't tell me all the women in thier late 20's and 30's are taken? Grow up.

Answer 9

Why not go an even ten years your junior (24) and older. I am 41, single, no children. so we are out there.

Dating an 18 year old is Not the answer.

Answer 10

I'm almost 18, and to tell you the truth... I wouldn't really mind. As long as you don't look old (and from what you said, it sounds like you don't have to worry about that).

If girls can date younger guys, then why can't guys date younger girls?
