Yes, I have dated younger and prefer younger. It's a mind over matter thing. I don't mind and it don't matter.

As long as they're legal, I'll date 'em. But not so much the other way.

I have actually dated someone 13 years younger and we were together for over 2 years. I broke up with him because he wanted to have a child and I couldn't...so I set him free to do that. He actually still calls me and we have been split for 11 years now. I say take your time and be friends...if it is meant to be, it will happen Im kind of in the same boat...Im 17 years older than my fella, and the child issue is a serious theme that may split us apart..I already had my family and he has a right to have his if its what he wants...

from my experience older women looking at younger men will look for maturity in the guy's personality, after that is a matter of chemistry. The other problem that might arise is a conflict of interests, she might want to have children when you don't. Last but not least, difference in perspectives due to those 10 years of difference. However, I believe that 10 years is still acceptable, i wouldn't go more than that. If you want a piece of advice, work in your social skills by meeting other ppl in real life and building up your confidence in yourself =)

I am 28 so that would make 18 my limit right now is 21 so definately not. As for 10 years older.... That's an offer I might be willing to venture

I like them my age. I know ppl say, "get em young u can train em!" umm no! i am to old and to tired to keep training! lol. I like them to already know what a women likes. Also my kids would probably kill him. My son is 21 and my twin sons r 16. Yea, they wont go for that! My sister is with a man 17 years younger then her. Now her son is not talking to her. And its breaking my heart. I dont want conflict like that with the most important men in my life. MY SONS

Sure, I think it all pretty much comes down to your compatibility. But issues like wanting children would have to be sorted out early in the relationship.

10 years younger maybe not but older maybe depends on the other person my ex was 17 yrs older then i was.

There are such things as life experiences, having children(as someone has already said), family ties, etc.Some families would react violently by the incursion of someone younger(in my case). They say that we have the right to make decisions as adults and live with the consequences of those. Dating someone older or younger deserves and merits some serious thought-provoking soul searching and asking some serious questions. Each situation, of course, is truly based on a case by case scenario. My opinion only is expressed here by my experiences.
