age difference

[archangelz]

What age is to young and too old for you own personel preference for dating?

ex

i'm 26

the lowest i'll date is 18 the highest around 31

 

[Macrina]

Wow, I don't really know, to be honest. I think it depends more on where we are in life, and that could vary so much... not a good answer, but I'm really not sure. Maybe someone as young as his mid-twenties or someone as old as his mid-forties. I'm 31 -- what should my age range be?

i dunno was just bored and thought i'd make up a question lol but i'm interested to find out what people age limits are.

I am with Macrina

but as for ages never younger and about 10 years older that was when I was 25 though..

I think 1-3 years is ok.

 

[okiemommy26]

I am 28.

So anyone that is 25-40.

I don't really know, because it depends really. I've seen couples where the woman is more than 10 years older than the guy, they seem very happy then I've seen the man 20 years older than his wife. And it was funny the store clerk I guess couldn't help asking, " why? You are like her papa already!" And he just said, "She loves me!"
That simple!

God bless!!!

I'm in my 20's, so 19-20 would be my lower limit. I've been thinking though, with some of the worldly influences out there that hit you your first semester in college, maybe it's better that I get to them first. Just a thought.

 

[GoodNewsJim]

I'm 29.

I'll date anyone that's past the whole,"Wow I'm 21, I can do anything I want stage"

I want someone who's mature enough to understand that love is more important than anything.

At the same time, I can't bring myself to date someone who already has kids or looks old.

Indeed the window for which I'm interested in even starting a relationship is winding down. I know God exists for a fact. Some people just know God on faith. I know he exists because he proved himself to me. I'd rather know Jesus and go my life knowing no love for a woman, than knowing the love of any woman. In this respect, I find my position far superior to many happily married people. God gave me a lot, so I can live without finding a woman. It's just really strange because family used to be my #1 thing before God came along. And I spent 2 decades semi neglecting family to find a woman because I thought it'd be great to introduce a woman to such an awesome family. Now I'm spending a bit more time with the family, and I don't meet new girls all that often. The last time I met a new woman would have to be months ago.

I think when you're younger it's vital that you're within a year or two of each other... and that you're both very mature and love the Lord if it's to be taken even somewhat seriously. I began dating my first and only girlfriend when she was about 16 and I was about 18. She was mature for her age, and I decided from the start that we'd not kiss until we possibly got married. She wanted to kiss but she respected my decision hehe . We thought we'd get married for a long time but almost two years later I broke up with her. It was sort of mutual and she didn't act like she wanted to date me anymore, but she seemed sort of shocked when I actually said it was over so I don't know . We're friends now and message each other once in a while.

Now that I'm older I feel there is a stronger stigma and a greater responsibility on my part to protect those younger than me. There is a girl I'd date in a second except for her age. Were she 18 I'd date her. She loves the Lord, shes' beautiful, intelligent, creative, and mature for her age but just too young, and I'm not about to go "robbing the cradle" as they say.

As for older?... I guess I'd be up for dating a woman oh... about 3-4 years older than me. I'd prefer if we were the same age or if she were slightly younger though.

I think it just has to do with your own maturity level. Being widowed, I don't feel I have a thing in common with any guys my age who maybe haven't even been married, let alone have a family to raise. So, I only date men who are older and have lived life a little. I'm certainly not interested in the ones who haven't grown up yet. However, I try to date younger than my parents as a general rule. That just gets a little icky.

 

[Arclight610]

For me, my age - 22

-TJ-

 

[mina]

it depends on the person and their maturity level, but just non specifically speaking I would say 5 years either way.

 

[BIGMIKE]

I'v been bouncing this question around for awhile myself. I'm 31 the girl that I was most recently dating is 23. I met her when she was 21!! A few of u mentioned maturity level, this is SOOO important. I have a 3yr old daughter (who is MOST important girl in my life) and my younger girlfriend add some issues of jealousy with her...........made it tough, cause I really cared (care) for this girl, she is WONDERFUL other than that issue.

 

[sweetlambofgod]

I'm 21

so 20-25

 

[Rory]

Probably for numbers I'd say 24-35, though on the low end it really is about maturity, i dont think i could go under 21 at all but i would not shut out 21-23 range without seeing what kind of person they are, maturity and that stuff mainly. Granted I have known some women my age or older that are far from mature but yeah, pretty much for anyone I'd have to feel them out first anyways...

I always figured I'd stay within 3 to 4 years of my age. But tonight I took a wild hair and went to a singles site meetup at a bar. Gotta get out there and meet people, ya know. And all the women who danced with me (well, it was more like near me LOL) I would guess to be at least 10 to 15 years older than I am. However, they did seem to be enjoying themselves even though they were dancing with someone young enough to be their son. LOL So I guess the age range really does get wider as you get older.
