I just wanna know one thing.....can the chick cook? Oh, and she can't be too young. I mean, I don't want to be watching Gossip Girl every week and then having to blog about it.

Yeah, and I don't want to have to sneak into his "room in his parent's basement" to have a little fun after our date!!

There isn’t a formula. There are, however, considerations.

In my case, I won’t date a guy unless he can legally drink alcohol. After that then it’s about maturity, integrity, and whether they can stand on their own two feet.

I’ve met guys older than me who are “a mess”; conversely, I’ve met younger guys who have it all together!

It’s preference as well as having the same life goals.

I tend to date guys 12-15 years younger. It works for me!

Question Melody. Do the dudes parents have to sign a permission slip to make it ok for there sons to date ya?

my last girlfriend was 21 and she didnt watch gossip girls...lol...but i think she watches desperate housewives...lol

so your saying i have a chance...lol

Nope Goof but ownership of a few Xbox games helps then I can troll the high schools and ask if the boys want to play with my box! (oh that is just soooo wrong!)

Rules are boring, date whoever you want. My limit is 21 and over, me and older guys don't want the same things in life.....

I'm old and I watch Gossip Girl.

well......I like older guys so yeah.
for the most part...I find guys younger than me very annoying.
ah, I shouldn't say that...I have a lot of guy friends who are younger, and they're alright...I'd never date them...

but they're not awful.

It depends on the people I think.

i date people to whom i'm attracted and their age becomes just a character trait they happen to possess.

i've dated men about 15 years my senior and 10 my junior. i have found, generally speaking, that older men tend to treat women more feminine, more courteous, more like a woman rather than the buddy feeling that comes with dating younger. i have no problem with old-fashioned values and actually prefer traditional roles within a close relationship.

i try to mind my own business with regards to other people's dating habits but yeah i tend to snicker when i see really old ladies with men in their early 20's and/or vice versa and certainly hope my own children find people close to them in age.

that's the formula for calculating what is socially acceptable in terms of dating someone younger.

and it's a pretty good approximation IMO.


. . .

I thought it was a pretty good formula...lol

Seems awfully arbitrary. Why not take your age, multiply by 16, then divide by 8.825, add x (the orbital velocity of Pluto), bake 55 minutes at 400 degrees, and subtract the square root of negative 11?

To me, the whole age issue is irrelevant. You're dating a person, not a set of statistics. It's like saying I wouldn't date someone who had the wrong shoe size or license plate number.

I know there are always people who say "Age is important because of life experience." I don't see it that way, because everybody has had different life experiences, even people who are exactly the same age.

I agree 100 percent with exceptions,, only to a paerson being tweny or more years YOUNGER than their other,,,THAT WILL cause
MUCH THOUGHT,,if THEY wanted forever to share their lives with..
Because At 70 and 50,,or 65 and 45,,,, THATS GOT TO BE A BAD
visual,,and a living MORE out of GIVING,,than returned LOVE back,,
Just MY OPINIONS!!!

What I'm getting out of most of these posts is that as long as they are legal...you talk to them and see how mature they are....lol

Just make sure they have their own controllers to plug into your box. (Oh that is even wronger!)

Yeah, pretty much.
