Did you go out with a man who is younger than you? Would you consider dating a younger man? Why and why not?

all the men ask me for dating is younger than me, i don't know why, maybe i am too old that i can't find someone older than me in my life. i don't care the age, i think if you really like someone, age is not the problem.

Oh gosh! We do have the same problem. Lately, all my suitors are younger than I am. I don't know why. All the guys my age are either married or has a girlfriend. And the older ones are either separated or pretending to be single. It's just so hard to find a single great guy of my age. Oh well, Let's just wish each other luck. Hopefully, we'll find great guys even if they're younger than us.

I've dated younger guys and older guys. To me age doesn't matter as long as their maturity level is there. I dated a guy 2 years younger then me a few years back and he acted very mature. Now I'm with a guy who is 2 years older then me and he acts like a 18 year old! As long as the guy can keep up with me and accepts my lifestyle and can act as a role model for my child, then I don't care about age.

I so agree! Maturity has always been an issue for me before that's why I don't date guys younger than me but this particular guy that I like is 5 years younger than me but he really is mature. So I guess, I would have to consider dating him since most of the responses here is positive. Thanks for helping me out. I really appreciate it.

I have nearly always dted younger men I guess because I have never looked my age and never acted my age and i get on better with younger people the only ones I have dated that were my age were themselves very young in mind..its ok, age is all in the mind..

So cute! I like that! Hmmm. Now I'm thinking if I look younger than my age... You really got me thinking...Am I not acting my age? hehehe... It's nice to know how you think about dating younger men. I'm a little hesitant on dating this guy that I really really like but he's 5 years younger than me. And I'm afraid of what other people would think. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm a bit confident now on dating this guy who's younger than me.

hey I have dated a couple of guys in my time that were 12years young than me...I wouldn't worry about what other people think, they are probably jealous, if you can do it, you only live once, be happy.

Really? 12 years... Wow!!! Amazing! If it did work for you, it might work for me as well. Thank you lilaclady. I really appreciate this. My family is a little conservative and I'm not sure how they would take the situation if they found out I'm dating a younger man. It might freak them out. I don't want them to worry and think that I might just be settling for younger men out of desperation.

Kewl!!! I didn't expect to get a positive response to dating younger men. I thought people would react negatively to this one. I hope people won't judge me just cuz I dated younger men. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this one.

Yes I know that babyboo23. But sometimes people can be so cruel that they will actually ruin your relationship if they don't approve of it. I just hope that my parents would be supportive of me for this one just in case we hit it off and go get married. hehehe.

I wasn't big into dating guys younger than I was but I had a boyfriend who was 3 years younger than I am. He was kind and good-looking, somehow mature for his age when he courted me. I look younger than I actually am and think like a child. We got along together since we had the same likes and dislikes but I had to end the relationship as he had a fling and I don't like that. Some say men mature later than women which means younger men are really like children compared to older women. There are always exceptions, though. My close friend is dating a guy younger than she is but they're doing really well. Working towards a year in the relationship.
