i think 10 years younger is ok and no one 10 years older would be sufficient don't you? Why are you worried about it anyway? Date who ever as long as it don't consist of going thru the high schools with the trunk of your car filled with a Playstation and candy and sodas to lure your dates.

You haven't told us your age.  No matter how you cut it, it really depends on how old you are right now.\n\nIf you're still very, very young ... let's say, under 24, then you can still afford to wait awhile longer.\n\nIf you're approaching 30 ... well, that's certainly not old by any means, but it is a benchmark because at around that age, you start seriously thinking about whether or not to have children.\n\nYou have to figure that if you leave this guy, it'll take a little while before you meet the next guy ... and then it'll take some time to build that relationship up to the point where marriage is a possibility ... and then yet more time until the topic of having children is ready to be discussed.\n\nI guess what I'm trying to say in a nutshell is this:  Don't waste ***all*** of your youth on a " possibility "... save some of it for the next guy you could be with who would gladly marry you in a heartbeat.\n\nThere's also that famous old saying that applies to guys who don't marry the women they live with:  " Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free ?  "   \n\nSorry Sweetie, but I can't help but think that if he isn't ready after 4 years, he might never be ready.  And you just might be missing out on meeting that special someone out there who really wants you in every possible way.\n\nWhatever you ultimately decide, I wish you every possible happiness.  Good Luck !!!

I am 25 and I have dated up to 20 yrs older than me if the person fits with what I like.

Kinda have to laugh at that one. I don't even think of late 20's as a age difference. I'm 36, recently dated a 28 yr old. We would occasionally laugh and he'd call me a cradle robber, and i'd call him a silly boy, but it's all in play. As long as you are emotionally responsible, then the conversation should flow naturally. (I'm into 80's music and star wars~~ yes geeky, I know, but typical of the ladies my age....).... Try starting with stuff like that.

this because you feel comfortable in that environment. (not your job but the convince of having women come to you) try going out and look by the way, there aren't a lot of 18-20 yr old who wants a serious relationship. keep looking she is out there

there is not any age limit you could put on something like that.  look at the divorce rates, how many people didnt know what they were doing when they were at whatever age they were or are.  only you can decide that for yourself.  it doesnt even necessarily mean how mature you are, you need to be old enough to have had experience and know what else is out there.  you can love someone at any age, but you just dont want to rush, everybody thinks they have to hurry these things, but just go slow, make sure that your ready so that you dont ever end up wondering what ifs.

as long as you're both at the age of consent or older... you're cool... 27 is more than an appropriate age

I guess that really depends on what kind of relationship you are looking for. Quite honestly, if I am looking at buying my first house when she's checking up on her social security benefits, or for quality nursing homes.. the age gap is too big.\n\nOtherwise, it's not at all bad to date a woman who's older than you. Your personalities and interests should play a bigger part than age alone. Though, the age factor can SOMETIMES be a deterant but only you can really decide if/how much that bugs you.

You may be younger looking, but your brain is not! You will have more in common with a 5 year spread difference! 34 sounds too young frankly.There are lots of ladies near your age who would very good company!

being 27 and no date? Nothing to rave about\nbeing 27 and no MAN? Ask yourself why. Is it the type of man you want, or the type of girl you are. \n\nThink into that one. :)

First, & I don't want this to sound mean in the least, this is not the type of forum to find a mate. If you want to find someone via the Internet, you'll have much better luck with a dating service.\n\nSecond, again, not being mean, if you are looking for a quick fling, then your question (or lack thereof) will probably get you just that but you will also run the risk of a lot of borrowed problems as well. After all, how do you know that the person on the other end of the keyboard is who or what they say they are? True, in time you can find out but how are you going to handle it if you find that the person you've been talking to is one of the "old" people you mention?\n\nMy best suggestion for you is to get out there & get involved in some hobbies, whatever they might be. This will put you in an arena with like-minded people with whom you will already have something in common.\n\nStill, it sounds to me from your details that what you are really interested in is nothing more than a cute, young thing; sorry, but this is the way your details have come off to me. If this is the case, just hit the bars & you'll find someone to warm your bed. If you are looking for something more, however, you are severely limiting yourself by talking so much about younger ladies & calling those of or about your age "old". It would make me wonder why your marriage of 25 years ended...maybe you found her too old for you suddenly? If this happened to be the case, how do you think women will react to learning this?\n\nI'm not trying to be hurtful in any way; I'm trying to honestly explain to you how your above approach might look to women. Me? I'm very taken & you wouldn't be interested anyway since I'm 40 :)\n\nGood luck, whichever route you end up taking...

Make your own decision concerning this matter. You shouldn't let others dictate to you what kinda guy to go for. If you're 70 like you say, then you oughta know by now what you want in a man. It's up to you and no one else. Thanks.

im suprised 40 should be a level of maturity where you dont lookfor random people online. if its online dating you want go to an onlinedating site like e-harmony or something. not here!!
