Yes. I’m dating a younger person right now. I would not date anyone more than a year younger than me at this point, as I’m 18, so dating younger people could get me into a lot of trouble.
Well, I’m pretty young myself. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with dating someone much younger than myself. There’s someone who has a thing for me that is younger than me, and it’d just be weird to date them… I dunno.
I did date a younger guy (5 years) once when I was in my 40’s. He just came out of a bad marriage and all he wanted to do was party and bar hop. Lasted about two months.
@tb1570 uh. No. Age is not merely “a number”. Age is an indicator of experience and maturity. Address, telephone, zipcode, social security – those are “just numbers”.
Yes. It depends on the maturity level of the man. I dated enough men close to my own age who were immature and looking for mommies, so his age in and of itself really doesn’t signify.
My spouse is five years younger than me, but once you reach around the age of 25, five years doesn’t mean so much. At that point, your life experiences and maturity (or lack thereof) can easily put you on the same level as someone 5+/- years.
I’m 30 and dating a 24 year old. When we met I was 29 and he was 23. Emotionally and intellectually we are very similar. I do notice a few differences (cultural) but nothing major. He’s much more tech savvy, even being just a few years younger. He told me the other day that he remembers the last episode of Seinfeld. He was in the fifth grade. I was in my junior year of high school. Made me feel kind of old.
No because I’m pretty sure my husband would reject the idea. LOL
If I were single, it would depend on his maturity level. But I certainly would not date anyone 10 years younger. Too much of a gap. There will be a lot of things we don’t have in common.
And if I were in my 20 ‘s, I wouldn’t date anyone who is a teen, no matter how mature they seem. I was pretty mature for a teen but there was just so much that I realize I didn’t understand or know about simply because I haven’t had time to learn lifes little lessons yet and my life was pretty sheltered. In other words my thoughts have not been tested properly by time.
I have dated a younger person, i was 22 and he was 19; not that big of an age difference. now i wouldn’t date anyone under, say 30, just because that’s what i’m comfortable with…
i am dating a younger person. he is 15 months younger. the only reason i know that is because him and my little sister share a birthdate and we are 15 months apart. i just turned 21, and he will be 20 in March
I have dated younger men in the past. And for Round Two of being married, my husband is 5 years younger than I am. We started dating when he was 29 – about to turn 30. It didn’t bother either of us. Although there are days when the dinosaur jokes get old.
I would say 5 years younger and up to 6 or 7 years older would be my limit.
Sure, I’d also date someone older than me. Age isn’t always a representation of maturity level. If I’m attracted to them, enjoy spending time with them, and we are on the same maturity level I don’t care about age. To an extent of course, I’m not going to date an 8 year old haha.
Being that I am 20, there really isn’t much that’s younger (and still legal in California). I won’t mind dating an 18-year-old.
One of my friends (who is 21) was dating a girl for a few months before she turned 18, and he got so much shit from the rest of my friends. I dunno if I want that.
I’ve lived several years each with 10yrs younger & 12 yrs younger. For 6mos now I’ve been exclusively dating 9yrs younger and would comfortably live with him. The youngest I’ll date depends on how they conduct themselves. I’ve seen 23yr old gentlemen and 30+ yr old kids, I prefer gentlemen.
I would, but probably not much more than 4 years younger. I doubt I’d have much in common with anyone below that age. We’d be at different stages in life. They’d want to party, and I’m at the point of getting serious about life and what I want from it.
Two of the coolest guys I dated in my 20s were a few years younger…loved it !!
I’m 40, so I guess I’m this cheesy cougar
But really I’m just extra fun and enjoy the ENERGY of guys a bit younger. But I don’t chase them.
