What is the oldest age you would ever go for in a partner?

goldmay · June 2014

I'm 24 and would probably go up to 28 right now. Not that I'm not attracted to older men, but I think I'd feel more comfortable with someone closer to my age who has more in common with me.

I'm 23, and I think the highest I'd date someone is 30.
But, to each their own I suppose, but I don't think the teacher/student thing is a wise choice to make..

I am 32 and wondering 1.why your professor is hitting on you and 2. why so many people choose to limit who they would even give a chance just because of age. I have dated people much older than me and my most recent relationship was with a guy a few years younger. I would say good conversation, a great sense of humor and common interests are much more important than what year someone was born.

Best was when I was with a milf I was 24 and she was almost 40 I think.

I'm 25 and my fiance is 43

Is no one going to comment on how inappropriate it is for a college professor to be hitting on his student?

I was thinking the same thing...

beckylou66 · June 2014

Very inappropriate for him to hit on you all together!!!

But to answer your question, I'm 39 and have dated one 10 yrs younger and 19 yrs older. I'm just gonna say there is a big difference in a 29 y/o and a 58 y/o. Not all bad.... just VERY different! Do what you like, but not with a man in a postition of authority. EVER!!

Me: 48 / bf:27. .....wah after 4 years we just split.

So I'm taking a break...but if I had to give a number for oldest I would date...50 but all depends if he is young at heart like me....

I think that over time my feelings about this have shifted some. As a (practically) 25 year old, I think I would be willing to date up to 35 and down to 21 or 22. I just don't see what people could have in common with others when there as such a great age difference. I think it would really depend on the circumstances. My current place in life (uni student, no career, no real life experience) would probably not mesh well with someone who has a career and a home and knows how to be an adult.

I'm 33, my husband is 44. If I were single now, I don't know that I'd really limit myself too much. I've been very attracted to and had boyfriends that were much older and/or younger than me before. It just depends on the person.

Your situation is different. You're very young and I don't know that this is a wise choice. When I was 19, I dated a much older man. He was 43 at the time, iirc. It was mutual and I wanted to but I really wish I hadn't. After a few times, it just felt weird and I ended it. It felt too... "fatherly"... if that makes any sense. Ugh. Not creepy, just felt... off. Too big a gap, imo.

You also have the added dynamic of teacher/student in this situation. If it doesn't work out or it begins to feel weird to you and you want out but he doesn't (or vice versa), what will you do then? It's something to think about and not worth throwing away an entire class on. You're probably not the only student he's propositioning either.

I am 22 years old and my bf is 46 and it's the best relationship I have ever been in. He complete me. As cliche as that sounds but I have never been so happy.

Jacwhite22 · July 2014

22. I am 42.

odusgolp · July 2014

36. They must be younger.

Mikkimeow · July 2014

I once dated a 47 year old man. It was nice, but I am not sure I want to go much older. I reallllllly tired of him talking about his Roth 401k all the damn time.

Crap I meant to say university, not college (UK).
I wasn't aware there were any rules about professor student relationships cause legally I'm an adult? I'd never go with my professor to make my grades better though, I'd much rather work hard and earn it myself.

As for the professor, he doesn't seem like a creep, honestly. I've met old guys who hit on me and obviously just want to have sex, but he really isn't like that. He's really polite and gives a lot of compliments and although he has expressed his feelings for me i don't feel forced into it and he'd never do anying I didnt want I dont think. I admit I do kind of like him. Sorry guys, I just hope I didn't make him sound bad!

They just have a different style and way of going about it, honey : ^ }
Been there--done that a few times. Wish I hadn't--I thought I was so smart and 'chosen.'
I wasn't the first, and I know I wasn't the last.
It's a syndrome.
Er, he's not married, I hope?? Not that that would stop those who troll the current crop.
I liked them, too. But not a good thing to do.
Ask for a ring and no prenup, and watch how fast they fly. Stuff your ears cause they know how to talk.

36. They must be younger.

Old enough she'd go for an Early Bird Special..

notoriouslynickole · July 2014

I definitely don't think you're weird!

I'm 20-years-old, and honestly... There are some good looking men who are well up in their 40's and 50's who I'd date immediately if they asked me to (well, if I wasn't already in a relationship, lol). My boyfriend is 30, though. Idk, I just have a thing for older men.

AllOutof_Bubblegum · July 2014

45. I'm almost 29.

Slendermike · July 2014

15 yrs older

ironanimal · July 2014

29 because I'm in denial about the rapidly approaching 30s

Coltsforlife · July 2014

I am 30 , I prefer someone around my age 35 the oldest maybe

blukitten · July 2014

45 or 46ish,, i am 32

imaginaryplant · July 2014

My husband is 8 years younger than I am. I'm turning 34 this year and he's 26. We started dating when he was 18 and I was 26. It works for us. I'm just really immature and we meet somewhere in the middle.

CindyMarcuzAdams · July 2014

My late hubby was 9 years older so I will say a 10 year gap is good for me. My new hubby is 1 year older. I think 5 years younger would have been my dating limit.

skullshank · July 2014

I am 22 years old and my bf is 46 and it's the best relationship I have ever been in. He complete me. As cliche as that sounds but I have never been so happy.

this is fascinating to me.

can you tell us a bit more about your relationship? how did you meet? how long have you been together? has he been married? does he have kids? are they older than you are? do your parents approve? do you want kids? does he? what do your friends think? does he go out with your group of pals and do what 22yos do? i give him a lot of credit if he can keep up lol. (and just for the record, i know it doesnt necessarily matter what other people think about a relationship, im really just curious. sorry for the 3rd degree, im just very interested.)

thats quite an age gap.

i think i could go 4-5ish years in either direction (im 36). who knows....maybe im wrong and theres a perfect 60yo out there for me. i "dated" a 31yo chick when i was 19, but it was really just a summer of having a consistent hookup and being wined and dined. it was nice, but at the end of the day, i dont think i could have had a deep emotional relationship with her. perhaps i was too young at the time, but when she got out some of her old records from high school and reminisced about the past, i felt so young and she seemed so old.
