Thanx Adj4u, I try to keep it as real as possible, because their is no point in living a lie, because sooner or later the truth will come out. That's why I chose that name.

I ask myself the same thing at times. Because I tend to get a long with older women and well....... Naturally I assume an older woman would want to be with a younger guy because I know how women are about growing old and such. Although for me, I find it rather difficult to take a younger woman serious, for the fact that they will not feel the same way or think the same way 5 years from now. There is still a whole lot of growing up to do and discovering one's self before they decide to settle down.

Even most adults. I say life is a journey. Take that journey, and when you are done adventuring, then you can settle down with someone and share your experiences and stories with them. Take time to build yourself into the parent you want to be, for the sake of children if you dream of one day having some. Take time to learn and commit to who you will be everyday, before you decide to be that model wife or husband. Until then, make your mistakes and learn. Grow until you have the understanding of committing. Take that journey.

Very true stranger. I'm still at the point in my life where I am stuck between who I am and who I want to be. I also understand that one day I'll have kids and as a parent I'd want to give them the best there is to offer. I just want to make sure that I'll be in the position to do that, and I want to make sure that they don't have to go throught the things I did growing up. I can't say I'm a full grown adult, because I still have a life time ahead of me. I just want to stop being treated as a kid.

oh as if i'm not mature and serious enough?

I hear you. Actions speak louder than words, and when you are online, it sucks. Because that is all you have. Although, know that you have your own standards to live up to. Don't let the world tell you when you are a man and when you are not. Because this is all that is going to happen..... You are only going to hear the words you have been longing for from someone who sees what is in you that you wanted the rest of the world to see. And then what? You have the pride that you could have given yourself. The world does not evaluate men, but rather you in your heart will know. When you see the changes that take place, and you share those experiences and thoughts to others and they learn from you. When you see that you hold the reigns in your life and nothing gets you down. When you look back and seen that there was a time when as a child, you cried when you didn't get you way. Then you seen that you would through a fit when you didn't get your way. Then you see that you got depressed when you didn't get your way. Then you finally seen that when you didn't get your way, you became patient, you humbled yourself, you focused, and you got your way.

Don't ever let the world or anyone else evaluate you as a man. And never rush to grow old. Remember that youth is the foundation of true adulthood. Otherwise you become an adult who acts like a child.

You are a pup, no good to me but I will encourage you to enjoy your youth. This is the best time in your life,make the most of it. Accept you will make mistakes, part of learning.

You probably have heard the old cliche of, "It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks." I have an 18 year man who has taught me some. Sometimes we have like a mutual admiration society sometimes where I work. If somebody finds an easier way to do something we try to share. I try to be openminded but then I saw this sign on a church that made me think twice. It read, "Don't be so openminded that your brains fall out." It made me chuckle any ways.

take your time and find the one that fits you and visa versa....common ground and mutual attraction go a long way....as you get older the pond shrinks. Gold-diggers and selfish lovers abound at any age. be wise and patient. Have fun. Keep your head and listen to your heart. You will go through a lot of trying times in life and must learn from everything as much as you can. Don't forget yourself in the journey, but nurture yourself and others. Good luck in your search!!

Age does not matter to me....maturity does.

Lets face it, even OLD people can act childish at times....

Yes, listen to grandpa wouldee....
