    I think dating is fine, but if it were serious, then like someone else mentioned,with the younger person growing and finding out who she/he is and the elder already established and is set and comfortable, I can see that being an issue.
    As for the creep factor... I don't really get that, who am I to judge someone's attraction to someone else. But then I'm an old guy lol!

    Honestly, if there's a connection does it really matter?

    Yes. To me, it's all about maturity. I've met some very immature people who are quite older than me.

    But that's what I mean. A connection. Not just sexually, but intellectually .

    I've been taken back by the intellectual maturity of someone half my age.

    I've been taken back by the intellectual maturity of someone half my age. It's quite the shock.

    Find out. See if a man 25 years your senior is interested in having an intellectual relationship with you :smile:


    Hey, us older dudes are not all shallow you know. I watch all those Kate Upton interviews because she offers great insight. Of course I can't type this without keeping a straight face. Lol

    My ex husband was 17 yrs older, and didn't seem to have a problem with keeping up to me intellectually...sadly, he couldn't keep it in his pants!

    In my experience, there's also a huge difference being an early 20 something and age difference vs age differences later in life. I personally did a lot of changing in my 20s...I'm not even remotely the same person that I was when I was in my early 20s or even mid to late 20s. I'm 41 now though and I'm pretty much the same guy I was in my 30s....

    I just think there's a lot of changing that goes on in your 20s which would make it difficult to have a serious, long term relationship with someone in their 30s or older. hell, I know plenty of people who were of the same age in their 20s and got married, etc...only to find out 10 years later that they're completely different people and end up getting divorced.

    depends on if theres a connection, and where both of you are in your lives, if youve got similar goals and theres a connection dating is fine no matter what the age difference is, but do keep in mind youre more likely to change lots in the next few years where he might not.
