Age Difference?

[JPPT1974]

I like older men like my father's age. I dunno why but they seem to have more of a conscience and more of a heart and soul that men that are in their twenties, thirties, and/or early to mid forties. Also they treat women much more better as well as know what women want.

I have the oppourtunity to meet a lady.. ok let me rephrase.. I have a friend who is VERY strongly insisting that I meet a lady who is about 8 years older than I. She had a daughter who is college age, and a son who is in high school. Supposedly she doesn't look her age, and is rather attractive. She is also a Christian.

It just seem a little weird to me. I mean age wise I am right in between her and her daughter. I was in 2nd grade when she graduated!!! What do yo all think on age difference?

8 years is not a big age difference-I say go for it-she might be the very One God has in store for you.

I have two great-aunts who married men 10+ years older then they were and those marriages worked out pefectly.

I'm thirty years old and glad that I am because I am much more wiser.

But would you want to be with a 20 or 40 year old guy?

Well, since both of you are christians I suppose that you would like to date with serious purpose, especially that you both are not teenagers any more.
If so there are other things to consider:
Maybee not only the 8 years is the question (cause it's more about personality than age) but the "kids" as well. I mean I'm not sure if they have a dad or not, but probably this lady also wants a "step father" for her children.
And how about you, I mean if you like her you'll marry but can you imagine to start a family with a 40 year old woman? Will she give a birth to your kids as well? If so, she'll be retired when they start collage...
Finally she already has a good or bad "idea" about family life with grown kids and with tons of memories and experiences... it can make it more difficult

By the way I also believe that God has planned a no. one mate for everyone and I think he/she should be quite similar to your age and life stage/situation.

I sooooo concur. You took the post right out of my mouth, Anett.

Some good advice here .
