Age...
Okay, I have never really worried about my age. I turned 35 in November. I also have never really had a strong urge to have children. I go out with girls younger than me, because they love to go out, and don't have families (27-33). Okay, so now a guy co-worker wants to set me up with a guy in his dept who is 29 (30 in Feb), and I am so worried now that I am too old, and my age will be an issue. I keep myself in shape, take time on my appearance, and dress somewhat trendy (but still my age), but I haven't had these thoughts before, and it is making me uncomfortable all of a sudden. FWIW, ex was 4 years younger, but left me for someone one year younger than him, though I don't believe age was a factor. What are your thoughts? Is this something to consider that might be a deal-breaker?
Re: Age...
I definitely wouldn't consider the age thing a deal breaker. However, I do tend to be interested in older guys, but mostly because they tend to be more mature. And some grey is super sexy.
That being said, I wouldn't say I would never be interested in someone younger, it all depends on where they are in life, personality and their values.
And, if the guy sounds like he's a good catch, go for it! The worst that could happen is there is no attraction.
I agree with Farfalla. Personally I'm into older men but I don't think age should be a limiting factor at all. As long as there is enough in common to make up for a "generation gap" I say go for it. In this case, the age difference is so small anyway that I don't think it would be an issue, let alone a deal breaker.
FWIW, my XH is 10.5 years older than I am. The year he was born was never an issue, aside from 1973 being the year of the douchebag
I wouldn't worry about the age thing at all! My BF is 12 1/2 years older than I am and everything works out pretty well! You just stop noticing it after a while.
