but no one will listen to that warning believe me
@magnoliamam:
You are so right. I think most people when asking this sort of question already know what they want to do. They are mostly looking for validation. But as
@herron1345 pointed out, this is an interesting topic.
After my 1st marriage with someone 5 years older, then my 2nd marriage with someone 3 years younger, I thought I would want to find someone significantly older. I thought that would be necessary to be on the same level and share the same goals. What I discovered is that immaturity exists in every age group and it really depends on the person. It also depends on what values are important to you and if you're compatible. I had a crush on a coworker who was 15 years older than me. Our kids were the same ages and I thought we had a lot in common. I think he felt that I was too young for him. When I asked him to go out for coffee, he told me as a single dad with a demanding work schedule, he didn't have time to date. Then I found that he was actually interested in another, older coworker. Then my DH came along, and he is 7 years younger than me. I know that's not a huge difference, but I was skeptical. As it turns out, he is one of the most responsible and hard working men I have ever known. My point is, it really depends on the person. 4951
