Re: How relevant is age? Smiley17: I dated someone who was 10 years older, and someone who was 14 years older.
Personally, the over 10 year gap gets to be a little problem if you're not into the same things. Like music, movies, activites.
Sometimes age can get in the way of how established you both are. Men who are over 10 years older usually get laxed in what they like to do.. sometimes.
I don't know.. I'd rather be with someone closer to my age. GG is a year and a half younger than I am. He'll be 30 on Friday. Usually I hate dating a guy younger than I am for the sheer lack of maturity (compared to my own), but he acts like he's a little older and we seem to "fit" perfectly.
On the other hand, I've dated guys who were my age and up to 6 years older and they act like they're 21, so I guess it's all in who he actually is, and maybe how he looks too! ;)
Like BBH said, it's your preference and how you feel about it.
Does it work for you? If so, great. If not, well, try again! ;)
Re: How relevant is age? freovir: so, th, what movie did you watch?
i tried dating someone 19 years older than me and it didn't work out - not sure if age was a factor, but she was very interested in possessing me (but really, who woudn't?) as in way too serious at the time. age is what you make it - it's just another issue to be negotiated. . . . . like everything else.

Re: How relevant is age? sigkapgirl: Fre ~ see thread "OMG!" for the answer to that question :P
Besides the fact I want to possess you (that's a whole different story though) :P I don't think that's where this is headed. He's actually moving really really slow, which is nice. I have a tendency to jump in with both feet and screw myself over because I let things move to quickly.
All we did yesterday was hold hands a bit in the car... and anything else will have to wait, seeing as how he is out of town on business until Friday...
Slow is good. Its new for me... but I'm not gonna complain ;)
Re: How relevant is age? dj: I myself have been wondering about this. Well, NOT an older guy in my case...but a younger woman!
It is my humble opinion that age really shouldn't be THE key factor in determining whether or not you date someone. If you enjoy the same things, have some things in common, and are "in" to each other...I see no reason why you shouldn't at least see each other. Things may go somewhere...or they may NOT. In the meantime, you have some fun.
