What are the pros & cons of dating/marrying someone who is:
* The same age?
* 5 years older or younger?
* 10 years older or younger?
* 15 years older or younger?
* ...........etc.
The reason I'm asking is because I just recently met this guy who is 14 years older than me. We've dated a few times and he is (so far) a genuinely wonderful person. Problem is, the few times we've went out on a date, someone will ask or assume he is my father! Aaaargh! That is SO frustrating!!! Has anyone else ever been in a situation where age was to be a factor? If so, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I mostly dated younger Women until I met my Wife. She is 5 years older than me (if you ever meet her, don't you dare tell her I told you this ).
Everything has worked out great for us, we've been married 13 years now! She looks younger than me though, maybe that helps the perception.
I'd say follow your heart. If he is the right one, don't let any of that other bs get to you.
Do what feels right!!
