I have always dated older men until about a year ago. I'm 33 and my ex-husband is 48. I had been dating a guy that is 27 for a year and we split. This guy that was my little brother's friend who is also 27 asked me out and we had a good time. My brother died in 1999 at 17 so he is no longer in the picture. But when I told my mom about going out with this guy and that he knew my brother, she is acting like he is too young for me. She never said anything about the other b/f. People say that I don't look my age but even if I did, do you think it is wrong?

I don't see anything wrong with you dating someone younger than you. I think you should do what's right for you and what you feel inside. If you like him and he likes you, then go for it. I have a similar problem with age. A 26 year old guy likes me alot and he's very sweet and honest, but I'm going to turn 28 and I feel a bit weird about dating a young guy. I always wanted to date someone older than me but I'm still confused. I've tried looking beyond the age but at times it's a bit hard not to because there's still this thing that stops me. I don't know...I also need help, lol. I'll probably take my own advice too and follow my feelings. There's nothing wrong with trying and pleasing yourself. Hope this helps. Good luck :)

Have you ever heard that age is just a number? You're only as old as you feel. If dating younger men makes you happy and you feel good doing it then why does it matter what other people think? These guys are approaching you so it's obvious they're attracted to you. I'm 37 and I've been dating a man that's 25 and let me tell you he acts a lot more mature than many men my age. If I were you, I'd concern myself less with other peoples opinions because they're just that opinions. Everyone has them and uses them. In the end the only opininos that matter on your relationship is yours and the man that's in your life no matter what his age is. Do you and be happy about doing it.

No, I would say you might want to stay within the 10 year mark. I dated someone 13 years older and it was fun, but there were just too many differences, which you probably found out with someone 15 years older. Sorry about your brother.

your mom needs to be quiet you and your friend are adults
if u also look young u cant help what attracts to u...
men do it all the time..tell her men your age all want someone 21 so u at 33 dating 27 is no big deal.
my friend is younger than me its been a complete hassel with everyone.. friends... family..
do whats best for u....

Age is not a main factor of whether a couple is compatible. Doesn't meant person who are same age can communicate better with us than some1 younger or older. So, if you love some1, the feeling is right and we can communicate, except he is younger, what's wrong?

If he is 27 and you're 33, it's really not a big deal. You are both mature enough and I say go for it if it's what makes you happy!

27 & 33 no that's not wrong at all. You're both pretty adult as far as age goes so i dont see the problem.

No I don't think it is wrong. I date younger men all the time. It doesn't matter for men to date younger women. So that is a double-standard if you ask me.

no age is not a factor .only you can make the decision as to whether he's to young . men/ woman they like who they like . age shouldn't make a difference . as far as the brother how do you feel about that . that's what you need to be thinking about . if it were me and i had a friend who wanted to date my sister i wouldn't care as long as he's good to her.if it works out great if it doesn't oh well .

no, it is not wrong... if you really love him and he also really love you, then the age shouldn't be a problem... your mother never said anything with your other boyfriend is because they are all older than you... but to me, every time dated with a guy who is older than you is also very annoying...
