Well once you reach a certain age, younger or older doesn't matter much because you're both the same maturity level. If you're both in your 20s or older, I'm sure you'll be just fine.
As it so happens, I am a younger boyfriend. At first it was a little daunting for both of us, but to be honest we never let it get in the way. Age is just a number, it means nothing. All that matters is whether or not you connect.
And hey, the worst thing that can happen is you won't see him again. No big deal right? Don't let it sour you on younger men though. Happiness is the ultimate goal, not being the younger of the two people in a relationship.

I was always big on dating older guys as well, it just seemed to be who I was attracted to. However my boyfriend now (who I defiantly see spending the rest of my life with) is almost two years younger than me. I was shocked when I found out, because I work with him and knew him several months before finding out his age, and by then he had me head over heals and it just didn't matter! As long as you are on the same maturity level, what difference does it make?? Especially a year, in the big scheme of things: are you going to care that you are 99 and he is 98? It just won't matter down the road. It is the person that matters, not the age. So go into your date with an open mind and put his age in the back of your mind, it might just work out in the long run. Good luck! PS I am 24 and he is 22 and it works perfect!

Do you see this as a move away from the normal you? What are your intentions and needs from a date?
1. If you are looking for a lasting relationship, it hasn't worked yet.
2. Maturity is based on inner character and wisdom and not always age.
3. You should be working on your own maturity and situational awareness.
4. Look at what your requirements are in a mate. Do they reflect a mature decision? Do you attract to yourself a person who is level headed, intelligent, kind, treats you as an equal, etc. or do you look for a physical bad boy type of guy who has problems with smoke, drink, work,? Have the older guys dumped you after a trist?
Take a step back from yourself and try to see what your "self-image" looks like.
How you see yourself reflects to who you want to be with.
Good luck in your quest. It is a road of life we venture and some walk it for 30 years and others walk many roads.
May you walk down one more glorious golden road to happiness.
God Bless

Personally I know women whp prefer guys that are older than them. Alot of the time this is because they believe that all men younger than them are immature. Now while this is true with over 50% of the men I know there are some nice, mature men out there who im sure would be as good as any other man that is older than you. Now not knowing you I do not know your reason for dating older men but atleast give him a chance. If he works out great, if not that happens but what you have to remember is that there is just as much of a chance you could date an older man and not like him or like him just as much as a younger one. Personally I typically date girls younger than me but I have dated a few older than me and they have both had their differences. I am no expert advice giver by any means but I hope this helps:-)

I think that age doesn't matter and if you had fun with this guy then maybe you should continue to get to know him and hang out with him. A lot of women prefer older men and even I am with someone older but that doesn't mean that the only good men out there are older than you. Just take your time and have fun. Even the younger ones might surprise you. Good luck!

Go for it........they can keep up much better than the older guys. Though really it is not about age but how you get along together as people. Try not asking someone or trying to guess someone's age in the future and go out with them because you like the person they are not because they are older or younger than you.

It didn't work for me. I began to feel like the mom of the relationship. I was Married for 10 years.1 year and 4 months is not too much of a gap. (mine was 6) I guess it also depends if you are legal age and he is not, Be careful with that one. If you are both over 18, who knows he may be the one.

it doesn't matter if the guy or girl is younger anymore. If u choose to date someone younger hopefully he doesn't act 's young. There's alot of young guys that are mature for their age, then there are those that haven't matured at all. Hopefully yours is a mature one, because if he's not u don't need the drama. They can be worse than a baby.
