is age an issue?

It depends on the individual's involved and their maturity levels and where they are in life...

The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

It is an issiue, but one that can be worked around. At younger ages tou have an inexperience with life factor...or lack of maturity. At older ages there is always that nagging feeling that the younger person may be getting bored with the older one.

My wife is 45, I'm 39. She does worry that a younger woman might lure me away from her. Reverse the situation and if I were 20 and she 25, I would really be concerned that I was not mature enough or experienced enough to hold her attention, say against some suave 30 year old dude with a great job, cool car and a house on a lake...Course I gotta "D: license so fuck him!!

Maturity is certainly more important than age, as long as certain legal requirements are met, but if you are both relatively young there is a risk that after a while the younger party will feel like they have been denied the chance to 'find themself'. It can also cause irreconcileable disputes when the older party tries to win an argument by saying "trust me, I've been around longer than you", or some variant. After living with someone 8 years older than me (we weren't dating, but were very close), I can tell you that these niggling things really start to piss you off after a while, so you'd better be real sure of how you feel before getting into anything heavy.

Of course, if she's one of these girls that just makes you act stupid whenever you're around her you aren't going to take any of our advice are you? Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

My wife is 11 years older than I. Sure I get the occasional did you pick up some girl your own age when you went out with your friends? But thats all in fun. It works for us. You cant know unless you give it a try.

I think its all relative..age is just a number. But it does become an issue when you add maturity and how the two of you interact with each other/each persons personalities.

I've been involved with guys my own age, a year or so younger,and significantly older (about a 13 year age difference on that one). It all depends on the individual. Just be happy with yourself and with each other.

My rule of thumb is if I knew about sex before he was born, he's too young. I don't have an upper age limit, as long as he can keep up with me....on all levels.

Sooooo there I was.... Dating a girl of 23 and I'm 37. All she wanted to do is have sex and shop at the mall. I don't like the mall all that much.

Thank you....I'm here all week.

I honestly think that it depends on the maturity level. I wouldn't date anyone younger then me, for that very reason, but older is fine. But not too old!
It really is a tough question!

Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after
