date a younger man

This was a 2 for!

He claims it was love at first sight…and that all he wanted to do was kiss me. It took him 2 months to even do that – because in my usual style – I kept distancing because of his age.

But he just kept coming back, asking me out, sharing his loveliness with me, until finally he texted to ask me if he could kiss me the next time he saw me. It was really cute, funny and endearing and we now are enjoying the process of falling in love, getting to know each other and I feel so fortunate that someone who is so wonderful and supportive would be there for me the way that he is.

He is everything I ever wanted – my equal – in so many ways – apart from the age thing!

He is six years younger – and beautiful – and everything that was ever on my “list of attributes”. So I kept my mind open to this – and there it is – I am hopelessly, madly in love with him.

I’m not a cougar,well i don’t want to be one,but for a year now, i’ve been in love with somebody 19 years younger than me,at first i didn’t want to be involved in this kind of relationship, it just happened and i’m very happy that i gave it a shot,he opened the world for me y taught me a couple of great lessons.Obviously,for me,this was something totally worth doing.

So the guy I will call ‘yoga man’ is a full 10 years younger than I am and believes I am younger than he is!!!!

He did ask me my age and I couldn’t answer because I wanted to laugh too hard to answer.

I owe him the answer. Like most guys in their late 30’s he is looking for someone to still have his babies. That won’t be happening with me, so I owe him the truth. But, I can see why so many of my friends tell me not to tell the truth.

Omission is one thing. Outright deception is something I wouldn’t do. Damn. I like yoga man. Very cute, large, brilliant egghead. It would be hard to be him. Cute and much too smart for most women. Think Big Bang characters but with great physiques and weight lifting muscles.

Oh well….

I guess I do look 6-10 years younger than I am because no one ever believes my age. It happened again Friday night. He’s at least 8 years younger and believes I am his age. I am not going to say no…when he asks…and he will…nor will I run.

The guy I started dating from Church is 9 years younger than myself.
9 years isn’t a huge difference but all in all, it’s still 9 years.
Look at it this way.
When I was 16 he was 7.

Like many other women who responded, I too have mostly dated older men. I found them to be bitter, overburdened and overwhelmed. My first younger man was 9 years younger than I and it didn’t go so well. He was dating several other women and really just wanted to play the field. The second is 16 years younger than me and I’ve never been happier.

He’s amazingly patient, a great communicator and isnt’ afraid to be silly. He has goals and is working hard towards them. He is mature for his age and we get along so well.

The only drawback is that he has yet to live a real bachelor life. So, if we end up together he’ll be missing out on all those “sewing oats” days (drinking with buddies, sleeping with lots of women, etc.) and I’m afraid he may end up regretting his decision later.

And, he wants a second date!

young ones ask…i run. no longer.

what have i been afraid of?

I have always dated older guys (and i mean much older) but run from the younger guys.

No longer. I am here!

I’ve dated a couple of guys that are younger than me only to be cheated on (in a big a very public way) and treated like crap. It has been my experience that men older than me are more on my level in terms of maturity and intellect, they know better how to treat a woman, and are ready for a “grown up” relationship.
Not all men are like this, it’s just the trend I’ve noticed.

...i’ve gone both ways. (ahem!) I’ve dated up 13 years younger and 9 years older. For the most part i think it all has much more to do with where one is at in their life, and who the two people are….

That said, i have drawn the line against guys who were born when i was in High School, or those i couldve given birth too….

_{(i’ll wait till my 70’s for those….)}
