Topic: Is there any problem dating a partner older than you are? | |

We all tell the truth here? That’s news to me. ![]() I’ve always dated younger men but it just happened that way, it wasn’t planned. I am now dating someone my own age for the first time but I don’t think I could date anyone older than me. Especially not 10 years older. |

Happy New Year Rosie.
![]() There are two things that determine who you can date. Yourself and another person willing to enter into the social construct known as dating. (It's seldom I get to use terms like "social construct" ![]() |

What I have taken from this thread is that the old adage that "age is just a number" might be true.....but it's a number that matters to a lot, if not most, people. Everyone has preferences, I respect the preferences of others even if I feel those preferences are unrealistic.
Personally I prefer to date women who are smart enough to not date me....it presents me with quite a perplexing quandary!!! ![]() ![]() |
