Personally I don't think that it should be any different then a Younger woman dating an Older man although it seems there is stereo-typing with the "Younger man----older woman" couple....but I say., Go for it!.....if it makes You Happy and Him Happy., no one is getting hurt., ( this would apply to any relationship ), Be Happy and Best Wishes!!

ya know what, its a number. Only you and him can determine if its worth it in the end. Its only a date, why limit yourself and maybe miss out on something wonderful due to jealous people that are putting their insecurities off on you?  |

I think it is perfectly fine. If ya like the guy and he likes you, why not? Anyhow, who cares about age?...unless it's underage. My hubby is younger than me. :) goood luck. I hope your date goes very well! |

I don't see any difference in an older woman dating a younger man and vice versa. Age is a number. His maturity level is important but not as important as how well you two get along when you are both just being yourselves. Too many people try to say "girls mature faster then guys so it's more natural for a younger girl to be with an older guy" I don't completely agree with this at all. As long as you share the same interests, get along well, and can be yourselves around each other it shouldn't matter.  |

I say go for it..you're both adults and it's "just" a date..go out, have some conversation and get a feel for what YOU think..that's really all that matters anyway.. if you decide to date him again or even in the future begin a relationship, those who love you will eventually get to know him and back off if they truly love you..and those that can't will lose out..for now..just enjoy yourself..  |

Someone is giving you a hard time because, there is a six year difference?? Wow, imagine that since when is it okay for a guy to date a younger girl but, not okay for a girl to date a younger guy? I say kudos to you. You deserve happiness and if, he gives it to you that is wonderful. Don't worry about what others think you both are of legal age and that is all there is needed to know of the subject. Now, if it involved saying something like what do you have in common he's not even old enough to go out then, you can laugh and say maybe, but he's old enough to be with me and that is what matters:D  |

Phew, I thought there was going to be a bigger age gap, and was ready to give you my opinion. LOL. Go for it girl. Geez, at this stage it's only a date. Not the alter. See what it feels like being with this guy. Time will tell if he is a mature 21yr old, then if you are still together, you can decide what you want to do. Go out have fun! Enjoy yourself!  |

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It depends on how well ya'll get along. Age is just a number. My ex is 6 years younger than me. We got along fine, he's just going to Iraq soon and thought it would be best for me if we broke up for now.  |

I'm 34 and my fiance is 21. Thomas treats me better than any guy I've ever known. He also had a hard life and had to grow up fast. Never in my life have I been so happy in a relationship. If you like the guy, go for it. Don't worry about what people think.  |

Go for it! Life is too short to count those little numeric differences. The real thing that matters is not a number but the quality of the relationship.  |

I believe that as long as everybody has his/her different personality, age makes no difference if you care for someone. Some people are quite mature for their age. You only live once, don't listen to other folks' opinions, do what makes YOU happy.  |

Older woman and younger men are really common around here because there are so many young GI's and not enough woman to go around. It's a little jarring to see a 50 year old woman holding hands with a 22 year old! But I don't see a problem with it.  |

Thats not so bad; my mother is 5 years older than my dad. They were set up on a blind date and the guy lied to them about the others' age, lolol! The double standard does not really apply these days; just look at Demi and Ashton! :) Go on the date and enjoy yourself, if you like him, keep on dating and if you don't, just find someone else to date! that simple! :)  |

Funny you're posting this, I've been thinking about this for sometime now. I'm about to turn 26 and I'm finding myself attracted to 20 year olds going on 21, a couple of them are huge flirts but when it comes to getting serious they act older than even some 28 and 29 year olds I know. I can sympathize with getting a hard time from friends, I haven't even gone on a date with these guys but even entertaining the idea I'm getting labeled cradle robber. What does bother me is the proverbial double standard cause I bet if we were men we'd be getting thumbs up left to right from friends either when dating a younger girl or dating an older woman, they just think it's too cool but when we women date a guy that's more than 5 years older or younger it's frowned upon. Where was my point again? If you guys like each other that's all that matters, and it's not like he's jail bait, I'll try and take that advice myself, hehe.  |

Thanks skyler, it's good to know someone else is going through the same thing! Yup we both need to listen to your advice! lol I'm not sure I'm going on the date, but it has nothing to do with his age, just not sure i'm ready, but if i do i'll keep ya updated :) |

I hate young guys is my opinion..lol Thats just a personal preference for me though, older guys. Hard to debate, but most of the time with age comes money, stability, maturity, experience, relationship experience, they know what they want out of a woman, life, etc. But thats not to say that a 20 year old cant be with someone 27...I dont think anything is wrong with that age difference.  |
