their is this guy in my office i am two years older than him , he really has a nice personality, we share the same values, movies, interests it's nice , it's so funny he's in the cubicle next to mine,each time he gets up he stares, i'll look up stare at him, smile and we go about our business, each time he passes by he stares , if i have a file to drop off in his indip he smiles and says hi , this is so stupid , i don't want to encourage anything i don't want any one in the office looking at me and saying that i am rocking the craddle, he ask for my number once i easily dismiss that,through out day we talk for about 30 mins, we naturally have to stop the conversation to do our work, he would whisper and say we'll continue later , and we don't cause we have to go home, and theirs these women in the office who constantly watch us while we are talking ,disgusting. any way would date someone younger than you (guys would you date some one older)

I am 25 and my boyfriend is 21, We have more in comon and get along better then I have with anyone in my life, were a perfect match and h would tell you the same, I dont think age has anything to do with it cause before I met my boyfriend I always saw myself with someone older then me. I think if you like him and he likes you why not give it a try youll never know and you might just be passing up something great for something as small as age.

...starting a relation has nothing to do with age but how conscious you are of yourself as a human being, that is, what are you looking for in life? It seems to me you're both getting away from your responsibilities at work, and even I think it is healthy to be more than co-worker, you mustn't get involved in the workplace which is, I think, what you are doing. Again, you should be able to have some out of work time to meet this person, and giving your telephone number is the first step. Is him/her the kind of person you would like to have as a friend or a lover? Again, age has nothing to do with sharing your life with somebody, to love some one.... Love, as you know, is the most wonderful think that can happen to anyone. So I won't set limits to myself when the time comes!

i am self conscious of it , when it comes to work i put out my best, i have never allow myself to lose focus on what i set out to do, i have never been in a relationships, my studies have always took first preference,but i do agree with you it's never advisable to get involve in the workplace i am aware of that, hence why i am not pursuing any thing, i think it would be better for me to be friends with him, and from there i'll see what happens,but thank you for your opinion :)

I don't think I would date a younger man. I have a hard time finding things in common with them. I am very happy with the man I am with right now, he's 8 years older than me.

I don't think age really matters that much, unless you are in your teens. The guy is only two years older than you, and you obviously like each other. If you ask me, I'll give it a shot.
As for guys dating an older woman, plenty of guys have fantasies of being with a mature woman. I don't what fascinates but its true,and we are not talking of a measly two-years difference.
So yes, if you ask me, I'll date someone younger than me, as long as he mature enough in other respects, mainly emotionally and mentally.

Heck ya I would date a guy that was younger than me! As a matter of fact I am currently with a guy who is 5 years younger than me. We've been together for going on 6 years and have 2 kids together...when the wedding is I do not know. We also met at work!! We had the whole place alive with everyone talking about us! And yes, I was told to stop robbing the cradle, and once was called a s!ut. It bothered me, but the way I look at it is, if I actually let their remarks and whispers bother me, then I would have missed out on a really good relationship!!
So if you are really into this guy and it seems that he is interested in you, then ignore all the other people. After all, it's your life, not theirs!!

Well I am married to a guy that is 5 years younger than me, and it has made no difference to our relationship at all. I have never had any negative comments about it at all, in fact people never say anything about it. I do not think that age is relevant now in a lot of cases, and if you love someone then it should not matter, because at the end of the day it is only the two people involved in the relationship that have to worry about it, and if they are happy about it then that is enough.

Do you believe in the saying that age does not matter? I do. What matters is the level of maturity of your partner. Age and maturity are not directly proportional. Furthermore, you can date someone younger and older than you are as long as you guys get along well and you guys are having fun. Nothing is wrong with dating someone far from your age. There is a common notion in the society that you should not date people far from your age but do not let the society dictate what you should do.

A 2 year age difference is really nothing. If it were a 20 year age difference, it would be different. I would date someone older than me if I liked them just the same as someone my age. Honestly, the only difference age makes is how someone looks(which is the least important part in a relationship. Or SHOULD be) and people a bit older than me seem to be smarter and nicer anyways. If you really like each other that much, the two of you should maybe go out some time. If the two of you are being stared at while talking, it isn't because of the age difference. Well, shouldn't be atleast.
I wish you luck and if the 2 of you really like each other that much, go and do something, and get to know each other better.

That is one of the things I hate about people. They are very judgemental. Even when they do not know the real score, they already assume that something is going on. So what if the guy is two years younger than you? It's two years! It doesn't make that much of a difference. When you're 25, he'll be 23. Where's the problem in that? Assuming that you already are adults because you both work then if ever you two would enter in a relationship then it would most likely be consensual. Neither one of you is a minor.
To me, age really never mattered. I once dated someone 13 years older than me. To say it didn't work out would be an understatement but at least we tried. I have girl friends who date guys younger than them. My best friend is currently dating someone 2 years younger than her. It's just all about how you cope with what people say behind your back. If you make it your problem, then things would definitely not work out.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to date someone younger than you. My boyfriend is 8 years younger than me and we are perfect for each other! Personality and compatability matter so much more!!!

I would not consider two years to be rocking the craddle. Now if it was six-ten year difference that is rocking the craddle.
And I agree it is obvious the two of of you are interested in each other and I say go for it. If you don't mind inner office gossip (or can stand it), and inner office relationships. And if you both are single, why not. Plus, it is always an ego boost when the younger set finds us women attractive....I know I always get a kick out of it even if I know it will not go anywhere.
Have fun!
