I'm in my late thirties and met a guy in his late twenties who wants to date me. In our case, it's a good a time 10 year gap between us. Any advice on the pros and cons of relationships with an age gap will be appreciated.
What's he like - does he have a secure job, home etc? Does he potentially want children in the future?
We have been together since I was 20 and he was obviously I dated a man ten years younger than me once. He still lived at home dating had no idea of the real world. It drove me mad that we had no shared experience of anything. For example I would mention a world event that had happened when I was 20, say, and he would have no idea what it was etc.
In my thirties or early 40s - no. I'm 38 and 12 years older than DH. It depends on the person. DH is much more mature than my ex who was older than me.

Would you date a man 10 years younger
If you have a connection, that's what matters, not the number of birthdays you've had. You're both adults. I'm in my 50s and my last partner was 10 years younger. The age difference https://search-by-image.info/dating-sites-for-girls.php matter.
Funily enough I've never dated more than 3 years older than me though. Still wouldn't set out to do so. The only issue I'd worry about is if one of you wants younger. Then this age gap can be problematic. My DH is 5 years younger.
1. I remind myself that no one can predict the future.
I was ready for years way before him! It was a cause of stress for many years until he finally agreed. If children aren't on the agenda then why not?
I met my partner at dating making him I was put off at first by his age when Https://search-by-image.info/plenty-of-fish-online-dating-forum-and-singles-chat.php met him I thought he was about 25 or But he won me round and now I am man he is 36 we have 2 kids and than age gap seems fine.
I'm 43 my DP is He has his own successful business and so much older than his click at this page. I've a three year old and I'm a bit childlike so the perfect match. Never been happier. The men my age ended up being unemployable cocklodgers. We are marrying this year. TBF he's always preferred older women as he find twenty year olds immature.
The older you get the less it matters. I'm mid 40's and I personally like older men, always have. Late 30s wouldn't put me off. I'm in my 60's, DP is 12 years younger than me, we've been together 18 years and have children. The age gap has never been an issue, he's always been much more sensible and grown up than me. My dp is 7 years younger than meI'm He's amazing with a secure job and very mature.
More mature than any man I've ever dated.
And I never went younger as a rule, but i took a chance with him than I knew from the first date it was going to be amazing. DH is 10 years younger. The gap hasn't really mattered, but now I'm getting older I'm aware of it more. I met dh when I was 36 and he was Years married 18 months later and just about to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. My DH is 11 years younger than me and we are totally right for each other.
We get on better than any other couple I know. We have two kids together and he is an amazing dad. After 25 wonderful years together I'm grateful that we met and clicked.
