I'm a 32-year old year who was recently asked out by a 22-year old who seems mature. I've dated a few years younger and a few years older, but never 10 years in either direction! I'd just like to solicit thoughts on how its viewed and if anyone has dated someone 10 years their junior and their experience with it. Thanks!

I am 22 and I have dated a girl who is 30. Now it's not 10 years older but there is a difference without a doubt. Her gripe was not that I wasn't mature, but that I was 22. Just the number but nothing else. To be honest if he meets your standards, then give him a chance. Now at 32 it's a bit more of an elimination process for you, and really any man or woman after 30 goes through this, and that's not a problem at all. But one thing you have to look at is that you are both adults, and both mature enough to take accountability for your actions. And him being 22 means nothing in to days world. And really it's all up to you, but he may be a great guy that you pushed out the door because of his age. And again that's up to your own personal standards, and no one will say anything if you decide to do that. Because you know there are plenty of fish in the sea, that are 30 somethings, and can relate better to you. Hope this helps.

When I was 29, I dated a 21 year old. Honestly, we didnt get along so well. We were from 2 different worlds and we were
are 2 completely different people. We clashed a lot and it didnt help us at all. She wasnt at all was I looking for long-term. I felt there was no passion in the relationship.
The dumbest thing I did was lose my virginity to her, big mistake!
Aside from that. For whats it worth. You can go on the date and try to find out what he wants out of life, whats in his heart and what he expect from life in general. you know? The important stuff that matters. The chemistry has got to be there and you have to feel some kind of "click" you know?
Its just a date, not a full blown relationship.
Good luck

I wouldn't worry about that too much. Some guys are much more mature than others. You might have to deal with his parents, particularly his mother (I'm just thinking of how my mother would react to my brother dating someone 10 years older), if she is in the picture. But I think it is fine to date a younger guy.

Did you know that the sexual maturity (or peak) for women is at around 30-35 while for men it is 18-25, so it's not uncommon for these two age ranges to hook up. I'm sure if he's not immature or too young looking and vice versa for you, it can work out. But no relationship is guaranteed. Try it out. I've dated older women, but no more than 5 years my senior.

ok well, i think its ok to date a guy 2 years younger or older than u. but 10 years is too much, no offense. just keep dating this guy until u see some serious problems regarding age and than u can breakup. but u nvr noe. this mite b the perfect guy for u. so just ignore the age thing. and go along.
good luck. :))

Buttons the maturity levels between you tow will be pretty wide. I suppose if it is just an ego booster it probably won't hurt either of you. But you must consider how your friends and family will act and/or react around someone this young and whether or not they would be comfortable. Same goes with his buddies would they want to be hanging around someone your age. Best of luck with coming to a answer on this one.

Why the hell not? nevertheless i'm not American and have no racial prejudices. genuine love does not discriminate on the muse of age or epidermis coloration or the rest that on the top of the day does not remember. bypass away that for people. Ask her out. She ought to be the affection of your existence. :)

i have learned that younger is not the way to go. to much difference between interest. i would say don't waste your time. find someone older and enjoy the finer things.
