Does age matter when your dating someone you click well so well with?

[texas_redlips]

I'm 36 yrs. old and a few mos. ago my 38 yr. old ex husband of 8 yrs. left me for another woman he met online and cheated with. I was devestated but picked up and moved on with my life. Several months have passed now and I just recently started dating a 26 yr old who seems to have more maturity and couth than my ex EVER had. My ex was very immature and our entire marriage he was a skirt chaser. I have known the 26 yr. old's brother and his wife (who introduced us) for years now so I knew he was raised to be a true gentleman. I'm thinking some Good Karma came my way after being traumatized back in the summer. If a woman is older than a man who seems very mature should I be concerned about our 10 yr. age difference? I always here people say age is just a number. What do you think?

Don't be concerned if he is mature. After all your ex-hubby was older than you and obviously barely out of his teens...

No Way Sister! Rock On! your so hot, that is awesome!! i'm so happy for you, sounds like you really deserve this!

[Cassandra]

I think if you're truly happy, then what does it matter what anyone else thinks? Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not like you're dating a 17 year old. Life's too short to worry about what everyone else thinks. Enjoy it, and I hope it works out for you!

Your age diff. is the EXACT # of yrs. between my wife and me! It hasn't interfered...but what WILL (or can, if you let it) are other people's stupid comments and prejudices! BLOCK THEM OUT!That being said, as you get older, the age difference CAN crop up gain, esp. in relation to how you deal w/kids (level of energy comes to mind). and other stuff. Sit down NOW and discuss it. Then, when some idiot makes an issue of it, you can say, "That's between US and we've worked it out."

age is just a number. your as old as you feel anyway.

I think if you guys click & you get along good & you really like him then age really doesnt matter. Age is just a number. You dont base love on age.

[JENN0557]

Not at all age is just a number, never judge someone of there age.

[Alaina]

I think that age doesn't really matter unless its like a 15 year old with a 30 year old bc thats just weird and gross! I think 10 years is ok definetly at yall's age! :)

[steppage]

personally i don't think ten years is a big deal.its the sixty year diff. that people really have a problem with.best of luck!

[Slick98]

No, age does not matter per se. Although at 55years old I do not date ladies under 42-43 years old. But as long as it is OK with the two of you, why worry about someone else's opinion. As long as he is above the age of consent go for it.

I think you are pushing the boundaries of age there. If both of you were 10 years older, then I think it would be better. Since I don't know either of you, go for it. It's worth a shot. If he were 21, then I would say that he's too young.

[KIRAmarie]

As far as I am concerned--Love has no boundaries, including ages! 10 years isn't bad, I don't think age matters as long as you are over 18. Good luck with your relationship, don't worry about the age difference!

[blklacquer]

You go girl! I thought the same thing about my bf im 12yrs older than he is, but he was so much more mature than the guy i was dating before who was my age...Age is nothing but a number, enjoy yourself and your GOOD KARMA!

[jaime]

When two people click they just do and no outsider should be able to take that away! My stepmom is barely older than me, 20 years younger than my dad. His parents had 15 years difference and 50some happy year of marriage. You're not being a cradle robber! Is your issue YOU not being the younger one?My mom is beautiful & I don't think the men her age feel like they have any hope with her. This is probably your case too! Why should you feel like you have to sacrifice something wonderful because of a number? Don't! But work something out so that neither one of you lets it get to you!

There are those who will reduntantly use the phrase that has been quite frankly use'd to death why i don't know cause if nature meant us for a certain purpose and being the same age for any type of function in life then there has to be a valid reason for it, and anything to the contrary, well let's just say, one person has a great deal in common with some one else but a relationship dosen't stand on that fact alone, there are more importan thing's to be considered, but that a conversation that could easily rival discussing religion or politics and lead to world war 3, cause every body thinks there right and will defy even nature to try and prove it . . .But to answer your question . . .Does age matter when your dating someone you click well so well with? all i can do is be honest despite what might be popular with others . . .Like anything in life some thing's work for some people and not for other's, i'm married 40 years and except for 3 children my wife and i have verry little if anything at all in common with each other and the way we think, very little that is except for one major importance, even at this age we are even more in love with each other than when we were first met, and we were most in love back then, but we were the same age, exactly in fact, but i doubt a few years apart would have mattered, but i'm also not gonna try and be cool like the masses and say age is just a number, if that were the case you wouldn't have young people NOT associating with old people, or thing's would'nt be generational to begin with or have a word like peers in the first place look at the problems with young girls having babies when there just babies them selves cause they gave them selves to some scum bag who thought age was just a number. Bottom line,? you need to just go for it, if it works it works if it don't all the cliking in the world and all the things in common mean absolutely nothing . . . it's about love not about clicking . . .all you can do is try it, but 4get the fact that you click, i clikedwith every woman i ever met in one way or another and i'm not talking about the usual you know what, but i can honestly say, if i came this way again knowing what i do now, the hell with clicking with the broads, i would simply wait 'till thatmoment i met my wife, i mean there are many women butthere are very few angels in life, my wife certainly made a believer out of me . . .good luck . . .

age IS just a number. what matters is that he's mature and good enough for you.
