    My exH was eight years older than me. I very briefly dated a guy that was about 20 years older than me, but when I say 'briefly' I mean like, *cough* briefly.

    My current fiancee is a little less than a year younger than me, and more mature than any other guy I've ever dated.

    27 year difference

    When we met, I was 28 and he was 55 (a month older than my mother!).
    It is a long distance, open relationship that began in 2006.

    I dated an 18 year old when I was 22. He was a college freshman and I was a senior. It was fun during that time in my life, but there was definitely a HUGE maturity difference. My current bf is 31, and I don't think I could ever stand to date someone 30 ever again.

    Whe I was 34 I dated a man who was 49. It didn't last very long simply because of his very outdated ideas about the roles of men & women in a relationship, though. I haven't completely ruled out ever dating someone that much older agian, but I'd have to know that he was someone with much more open views before I could consider any level of commitment.

    I typically tend to date 3-7 years younger than myself.

    My ex-husband and I are 18 years apart (him being older). Funnily enough, we split up over issues that had nothing to do with age!

    As well, when I was 19 I dated a 40-year-old...Which wasn't anything serious, I just wanted to experiment.

    Now I have a 22-year-old interested in dating me...and I'm going to be 40 on Macrh 6! I'm thinking he's too young though...but who knows!

    I was 19 and he was 29. Have had "relationships" with guys who were quite a bit younger since I've been separated. A lot of guys my age look old enough to be my dad!

    I recently heard about an age formula for old dudes...take your age, divide by two and then add 7.

    So for an old dog like me (47) 30.5 is the youngest someone my age should date.

    Of course, its hip for older women to date much younger guys...not so much the other way around :)
