    I had the same issue when I first started dating my current boyfriend who is 4 years younger than me. Made doubley weird by the fact that he's the same age as my younger brother! Actually, he's 3 months younger than my brother. And it still feels awkward when I tell people that he's younger than me but it's not going to stop me from dating him. We match far too well to let something as insignificant as a couple of years difference stop us. I say, if you're both happy, then you shouldn't let it bother you.

    And another good thing about being with a younger man is that everyone asumes i am a litle older than him :tongue: Which means lots of people shaving at least 7 years off my age :wink:

    why are you even asking this question. 3 years is a drop in the ocean. If you like the bloke just go for it and see what happens

    My hubby is three years younger than me and by far more mature than my ex husband who is 2 years older than me. At this stage of the game age is just a number. :smile:

    My boy is younger than me and I can honestly say it doesnt matter one bit to me. I always dated older men but this is my happiest relationship ever.

    If you like the person and think it could work then age is as they say nothing but a number.

    I say go for it - i did and its the best decision i ever made.

    I never thought I'd date someone younger & then I met the guy who changed all that! :wink:

    My husband is 5 years younger than I am & we have a great relationship.

    I say, do what makes YOU happy! :flowerforyou:

    Don't sweat it, have fun. Boys don't grow up until their mid 40's and that is debatable. :smile:

    Unless you're a teenager, age is just a number. My husband is 5 1/2 yrs younger than me and we are celebrating our fifteenth anniversary next week. It's never been an issue at all in any way. And it keeps me motivated to take care of myself so I'm not old and falling apart while he's still young :wink: You always hear that women tend to outlive their husbands so I figure this way, maybe we'll be around together longer. Younger men can be as mature as an older man, just depends on the guy.

    Younger men are the way to go. Less set in their ways and more open to trying new things/having fun. I'm dating a guy 2.5 years younger and he's the best. :smile:

    my boyfriend is 15 years younger than me. Oye is all I can say about the first few years. I love him, and don't want anyone else, but should something happen, I will never date anyone that much younger than I am. And we've been together 11 years, so something seems to be going right.

    My husband is 4 years younger then me and we've been together for 12 years, married for almost 11. Prior to this I was married to an older (10 years) man for 5 years. He was definitely more immature then my current husband. After my divorce, my Mother told me that I needed a man young enough to train (my Dad is 7 years younger then her) because it works much better. I can honestly say, that's the best advice my Mother ever gave me.

    3 years is nothing...I was 37, he was 22...although I'm not sure I'd call it "dating" exactly...

    3 years is nothing. My husband is 12 years younger than me and we get along perfectly! Its all in individual personality.

    people put so many limitations on themselves for dating and it could really cause you to pass up someone great, as long as the age difference isnt creapy like 15- 20 yrs different go for it, allow yourself the opportunity to get to know him. i have a friend who only dates black guys and thats fine but because she refuses to date outside of her preferance she has missed out on alot of good guys that were into her. dont set bounderies for dating, judge it on a person by person basis because everyone is different. good luck!

    Go for it. 3 years is no big deal. If it makes you happy then go for it.

    I know so many women that are dating or married to younger men. Actually two of my bestfriends are married to men that are 3 years younger then them.

    As well, my good friend's mom is married to a man who is 10 years younger than her, and my Director is married to a man 8 years younger than her...
