I'm not 33 anymore, but that's about when I really started to understand what I wanted:\n-respect\n-support\n-freakish loyalty\n-children\n-a mother & teacher for my children\n-a little adventure\n-self-aware affection\n-sometimes selfless affection

Companionship, love, to have a family, loneliness, doesn't hurt to join incomes either. No one wants to be old & alone, young looking for safe sex, & most of are want to marry our eternal mates & have lovely families. 33 years of marriage & would not change a thing, I love him as more today than ever. Had all our family over this week for Son's new baby & there were 58 of us.\n"We are family" I highly recommend marriage.

u should keep Ur personal life away from Ur professional life. don't mix them up & as u said that he is 42 and married then u should not think that way.\nhe is secured in his life & if u have a relation with him in future with his consent even then ur relation as well as ur future will always be insecured.\nthe right way is to forget him & wait for the right person to approach u.

The same things any woman of any age would look for. It depends on the woman. Some want love, desire and a friend in their mate, others are looking not for Mr. Right, but Mr. Right Now and a good time. I am not in my thirties, but I have seen that women of all ages have different drives and needs, so it depends on the person.

Wow.  That's a lotta question, that is, girl!  Let me translate roughly, see if I understand you.  There's a man, older or younger than yourself you have not said, who is a dear friend, who treats you very well, but something is missing in your response to him.  So you say, at one point, "no way what am i talking about . . . i don't know what I feel."  Oh, honey, I know old people may seem to be laughing at you when they say things like this, but I do, really, know the feeling.  \n\nSeems whenever you're confronted with an important decision (am I right that someone or some circumstances are pressuring you to marry him?), and you are of two minds about it, you need time for those two minds to have it out.  So you beg for time.  It's attractive, gives him hope, and does not burn your bridges.\n\nThen you must, in good faith, use that time for self analysis.  What is it that is missing in being with this man, in imagining being with him for the rest of your life?  Is there something that you fear will happen to make that something to regret?  If so, focus on that fear and ask yourself some real honest questions about (1) how reasonable and rational is your fear; (2) how much has to do with a Hollywood-produced image of romantic love that just isn't in the time you spend with this man who apparently is pretty sincere in wanting you for his wife.  Am I right so far?\n\nThen the question has to be, how fair is it to compare a real, flesh-and-blood man with those guys who are up on that screen precisely because they look good.  They look good; some of them real, real good.  So what?  What's that got to do with the real world?  If a man does not seem downright ugly to you, which is far more flexible than most people imagine, then how kind and good, how sincerely your friend and partner, both in and out of the bedroom, is far, far more important than playing out some Hollywood scene.  You know it already, but maybe you need old auntb93 to remind you.

Ok- you may not like what I am going to tell you but this \nrelationship isn't really what you want because if it was, you wouldn't have all these doubts.\n\nSweetie, you need to value yourself, your life, and your time.  You can't be this man's rescuer.  After 5 years you've got to recognize that if you plan to live a fulfilling life, stop doing what doesn't work.

Not until after you are 47. The you meet some one that you consider your love interest. OR you make someone that you are seeing your love interest in your environment. First your illussionary manner needs to end, whatever that is will end befor you turn 47. You will have more than one potential love interest to choose from. This year, age 46, you cleaned up much debt and paid off a lot of what you owe.  Age 47 will be a better year for finances. 48 even better!  \nWhat are you looking for, do you know what you even want? I see you change your mind a lot so it is difficult for you to know what it is you want when it changes all of the time.\nStart seeing the value in what you HAVE and DO in your life and I know you will find more happiness than searching to fill a void.\nYou appear, by birthdate, as ambitious and material-orientated.\nMaybe you need to adopt a spiritual viewpoint and seek satisfaction on that level.  You are here to learn how to love other's for who they are unconditionally. You can find inner-peace.\nMost materilistic types are the most challenged in Love. For these people emotional attachment brings them nothing but pain.\nYou seek the perfect union with another and it is or may be if you can love another unconditionally. Work on emotions and communication of feelings to assist you in finding your love.\nThis ideal relationship you seek may come later in life, which for you can be right about now or anytime.

The numbers of years difference would not be so bad if you were 33 and he was 48. At 18 you are far too young to be involved with a man that age.... He's lived and you haven't. You have dreams and he should already achieving his... Too many differences to over come. yeah he might treat you very well...but you will come to resent him eventualy and angry for having wasted your time.

It is a trend but you have to decide what you want in a relationship and if they younger men are really capable of giving you what you are looking for.  If your just wanting to date and have a good time then as long as their over 21 go out and have some fun.  If however your looking for a serious relationship with someone who is stable and mature then you probably don't want to date anyone much younger than yourself.  The key is to do what is right for you and what your seeking in your life.

I'm sorry to say but yes it is, especially if he is in the feild of business. Working a cerrer is a very serious time and one needs to dedicate alot of time to it, in order to succeed. But a good man would know how to level both his women love and his career love.

First, be specific about your idea of Mr. Right.  If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.  Once you know what kind of man you want, start going to places where men like that can be found.  If you want a "life of the party" type, you probably won't meet him at the library or the art museum -- but if you want a shy, artistic type, a football game is a bad bet.\n\nSecond, be realistic in your demands (as in, don't ask for more than you have to offer).  If you don't have movie star looks, insisting that he does -- and having nothing to do with any man who doesn't -- is not realistic (that's just one example).\n\nThird, know the difference between what you _want_ and what you _need_.  Have nothing to do with any man who can't offer everything that you need and at least some of what you want.  Caveat: some of your emotional needs are supposed to be met by your friendships with other women, not by your relationship with a man.  Don't ask him for things that he's not supposed to give you.\n\nFourth and last: relax.  You shouldn't play hard to get, nor should you project desperation.  Just have a life.  Go out with friends.  Get a hobby.  Attend events that interest you (which will bring you into contact with men who share your interests, btw).  The man you want is out there, you just have to be where he can find you.  Just keep living -- as opposed to surviving -- and he will come.

Sometimes it's true that women's maturity level progresses faster than younger men's. In your case you might be feeling a bit uncertain because that statement does not apply to you. \nRemember: Age is only a number. So is salary.\n\nIf you can love him no matter what and want to work things out with him, no matter what, then he is the one for you.\n\nEveryone has differences in taste, his is 80's music and an early bed time.. so what? At least he isn't a drug addict and abuser. Take it for what it's worth... if he treats you well, is financially stable and willing to work on your relationship, you've got a winner!\n\nGood luck, and look out for yourself--

As we get older our wants. needs, and desires change with us. Our bodies and minds need different things at 50 than they did at 18. You look for different qualities in the people you associate with. \nAs you age you look more at what a person has to offer intellectually, mentally, emotionally. Your interests, values, and morals have changed with age and you tend to look for a mate with similar interests, desires, ect.

I'd rather date someone older. I'd prefer someone more mature and stable(financially and emotionally). I would hope an older man would be less likely to play games and would definitely have more experience as a lover and be better in bed. I'd want someone to take care of me, not a younger boy to babysit.

dont settle why do that u will always be looking for better he might be a nice guy try to stay friends with him just in case it does blossom but dont marry without being in love first companionship will only get u so far...and he will resent you bcuz u treat someone diff when u love them and u will not be ab le to treat him the same ways he treats u it will be a big mess sometimes it doesnt pay to just do with convience...30 it not old girl u still have plenty of time to find someone that will set your heart on fire. But how can you do that if ur already married?
