what the oldest you've ever dated? youngest?
did it work/is it working?
if it didn't, did age play a role?



im asking because i currently in like with someone 10 yrs older than me. granted its not going to happen anytime soon, she's got a gf...but there is a ridiculous connection between us thats almost palpable. Its not like anything i've ever felt.
about the gf though...f anything were to happen between us it would be not in the near future and i wouldnt let it happen if she were still with her.
things arent going so well with the gf, but its not because of me or any of that. i would never want to be her rebound of sorts.

like many things in relationships, age is only an issue if it's made into one. as people get older the gap lessons too. usually it comes down to what you're used to. As there's 10 years between my parents and I'm not a teenager, the gap wouldn't bother me but there's a big difference between a 25 year old dating someone 10 years older and a 15 year old...

just enjoy x

I don't think it's an issue, but it depends on the person.

when I was 18 I dated a 28 year old. That didn't work out because of his personality.

then, when I was still 18, i dated a guy who was about to turn 30. It went great at first, but then he became really patronizing towards me. This may just be his personality, but it could also be because I was a lot younger that him that he felt he could treat me like that.

it can work out though. Just because it didn't work out so far for me, doesn't mean I'll stop dating older guys.

i was with someone 11 years older than me for 3 years, from 16-19, and it was mostly a healthy, happy relationship. in the end i guess age was a factor, i changed as a person in a short space of time (as you do when you're this young) and he just wasn't my type any more.
i've never dated anyone younger than me.
my current boyfriend is the only person i've been with my own age, it took some getting used to.
age difference has never bothered me, its such a silly little thing to get hung up about. if you like each other and you get on and its not illegal then fuck it.

Age should not be an issue. I generally like younger men, but sometimes i feel like a dirty old woman - mostly because of other people's opinions, not mine. I slept with a guy who was 19 when i was 29. He was VERY young in terms of experience...but i soon changed that. Its annoying sometimes having to teach them though. If i was gonna have another serious relationship i'd probably prefer it to be with someone older. The oldest i've dated was 7 years older than me.
