I have always been told that I am far more maturer than people older than me. The guy I am dating makes me happier than any other guy my age... ANY ADVICE??

Thanks you everyone who helped me reaffirm my feeling... To the moron who said "maturer" isn't a word, it actually is. Buy a dictionary...

I'm 21 and my ex is 33.
The reason were not together now is because he moved and I wasn't ready for that change.
We had everything in common and always had a good time. I just couldn't up and leave my family.
Its not bad at all I love older men.

It is not necessarily "bad" but you do have to realize that you both are in different parts of your life. You are college age and probably working a job that you wont be at for a long period, he is at the point he has a CAREER, and bills and may even own his home. He is MAYBE ready to start slowin down and thinking more of the future, while you are still trying to decide between what to be when you grow up. If he makes you happy, dont worry about it and everything will work out how it is supposed to. You both just have to understand that you are at different points in life and be there for eachother. Good luck to you and him!

It is true that the level of maturity for the women is much older than the men before they both reach to the age of 25, and it seems to be more satisfying for the women to be mentally connected with someone who is older than them. If the result works out good, why not choose somebody who can understand your mind and soul better than the others, and to neglect the age problem?

If the 30 year old can put up with you, why are you questioning his decisions? He certainly knows himself well enough by now to know what he is taking on.
Oh.... you meant from your side....why are you asking us? I don't get this at all...what is there to advise..you either like the guy or you don't ...that is simple. If you are worried about the age difference, I have to ask, "Why?" Do you have a crystal ball that predicts the future? I find it amusing that younger people think it is the older that will go first and leave them alone. Statistics do not bear this out. It reminds me of the old saying, "Sex with a younger person can kill...but if they die, they die. "

Its perfectly alright as long as you and him are both comfortable with it. Especially in the early stages of a relationship it hardly matters but be careful because later on you can run into issues - there is a lot that happens between 20 and 30 and small issues related to the age difference that you dont notice at the start can start to grate away at your relationship.

Well I guess 10 years apart isn't so bad. I'm 24 and dating a 30 year old. Some people think he's too old for me. But I like him. So who cares what others think. Their's always going to be haters!

The age-old struggle between head and heart. You heart is telling you that he is a great guy and you enjoy spending time with him. You head is telling you to question your heart.
You can struggle with that until the cows come home, but the bottom line is how you feel. You head could tell you there is someone else that on paper makes more sense for you, but you heart is true litmus test. If he makes you happy, why not go with that??
Listen to your heart...

I would say no it's not bad news.
Dating is a personal thing to me its generally about how you two are together than what the age diff is. That being said it seems to be more socially accepted for the guy to be older than for the woman to be older. If he treats you nice and respects you than congrats.

No if you're happy there is nothing wrong with it. I always dated older guys. I was 21 with a 32 yr old.
I married someone 8 years older.

Age doesn't matter much compared to matters of the heart. I like to think of the future myself when choosing age though. Do I want to be with someone that may be gone while I am still young, do I want to be taking care of them when I should be living, do I want to be with someone together in a home somewhere, or do I want to leave my other half behind after they took care of me? Its touchy I guess.
