Dating Younger Men?

[Muppet74]

Hi ALL...

I'm a lady in her mid to late 20's....and dating someone who is 19....What do you think? We have great chemistry and he likes me for me...but man...*shaking head*...I guess you can just say he's still a teen....What do you think?

Hmm... mid to late 20's? That could mean 25, it could mean 27, or it could mean about to turn 30... that sort of plays a crucial part in this. For instance, 6 years is no near as big a deal as say 10.
Now, we should consider the difference in life situations. His being 19 probably puts him in college? (my guess, please correct me if I'm wrong). If this is so, and you are in your mid to late 20's, you two may be at very different stages of your life. He is probably at the stage where he is figuring out his life and what he wants to do with it. You could still be doing the same thing, or you may be decided in your life path. All these things play a crucial role in any relationship, especially one with an age gap. If you are planning on getting serious with this guy, you need to consider these things. But if you're in it for good clean fun, then enjoy. Just think of what you want from this guy. Hope that helped...

I dont think theres a problem with it at all. im between 19-23 and my Significant other is...well lets just say hes older than 47 and i dont think i could ask for a better partner in and out of the bedroom. Alot of people try to find a freudian answer to such relationships, but i can honestly say that its just two people born at two different times in history whom have alot more in common than people would think. Im just getting started with my life and hes almost ready to settle down yet none of this matters. I just hope that if you get along great with this guy then go for it if you see a bright future together than the age issue wont matter one single bit and im guessing hes a mature young man, so all the better for you!
Good Luck with the relationship

well, i'm 23 and the person i am/was "seeing" is well, like 41.

as long as you are both over the consent age (which you are) then age is really nothing but a number.
as long as you and your partner don't find anything "wrong" with it, then forget what other people think.
and if both of you are willing to make it work, whatever "it" may be, then go for it.

Just to make sure things are clear, I am not against this situation at all. Just wanted to give you some things to consider. Hope it works out for ya one way or another.

Consider: Males reach their sexual peak in their late teens and, as I remember, can go forever. Women reach their maximum sexual desire (appetite) in their late twenties. Is this relationship based upon sex? When you each peak or get a little older, is there still enough in common?

No criticism. I am quite a bit older than you and in a stable relationship with another bi- woman. One guy on our äpproved" list is in his early twenties. The older you get, it seems, the less age difference matters. Just recognize why you might be interested.

i think it would be intriguing to have a temporary relationship with an older woman (myself being 19). wondering how i might meet someone and let them know i'm interested in such.

I'm 26 he's 19.
he's grad. college and has adult responsibilites.
I work and like to have fun. I know I dated someone who was 25 and I was 19 at that time...but stigma is problematic at times regarding women...cougars...hehehe you know what I mean?

I think we're just looking at it like...fun right now...

anyway...just wondering what you guys think...and I should clarify....we actually aren't going out...yet... just starting something...nothing is set in stone....just fun times....

As long as it's legal and if he's not underage, then there's nothing wrong with it. Age makes no difference.
