Okay, so I met up with a 22 year old woman last night after my baseball games. I randomly met her in town on Friday at a clothing store...After some crazy/awesome eye contact, I approached her and made small talk and things really took off from there. I liked her style, persepectives and of course her humor/humour during our small chit-chat in the store and outside of the store.
So...we had a great time last night and today. We really have great chemistry and I really like her. It's crazy, I don't for one second think about how young she is. I know it sounds crazy in my head (I'm 36 and she's 22), but at the same time I think it's awesome...especially with our chemistry.
Her zest and passion for life is totally refreshing and motivating. I've never been with anyone extremely younger than me, and it's really refreshing to be honest with you.
She lives pretty close by and we are only getting to know each other. That's all. I'm not saying she's the one or she's my future soulmate or whatever...I'm just saying we have great chemistry and we will find out where this leads to. She does have some future plans which does not involve Sweden, but I'm not worried about that right now. I'm just going to enjoy the now.
Anyways, can anyone see any problems that may arise due to our age difference?
Why does it always have to be about age? It will surely come up at some point between the two of you, but shouldn't that be just between the two of you and damn what others think? Have fun!
Not really. You're young and in good shape for your age in comparison to hers, and it's not really that big a difference. Relax, enjoy it, and see where it goes SF.

What rubbish Rio , he is hardly 80 years old and her a twelve year old
T ,if you have chemistry and like each other ,then go for it and be very happy .
If it were an online "girly" I would have a few doubts about it , but seeing that you have met in the flesh and get on so well, no problem there as far as I can see

I am happy for you. Problems can arise but if she is mature enough and committed to working on them then I see no reason not to continue the realtionship. As you well know, people change and grow up a lot between their early twenties and thirties, but that can be a good thing. People's core nature is pretty much the same throughout life so I think the rest is just a wonderful adventure.
Age difference?I don't see an age difference, well maybe a few years.But,why worry about the age thing when it's obvious that you both feel a connection, chemistry.

Life experience, how one approaches things, how they think, etc. That is the problem I encounter and have encountered in the past. But some people don't match this rule of thumb. Some people are forever young with their joy in life and some people are mature beyond their years. If it works, it works! Bravo for you!

Now usually I would never do this but I had to look at your profile. 36! You're practically a baby yourself! Well... okay maybe not quite a baby but your still a spring chicken. Its not that bad, and hey you could learn a lot from each other and that's always nice. I've dated younger and it was all good. The difference in age is only an issue if your maturity in mentality is way off. But I say enjoy it and see where it leads, you never know what may happen. People always come into our lives for a reason. So I say enjoy and you both can deal with the issues if they come up.
caspatch: age is a number youth is what you feel and i bet she made you feel 10 years younger, if it works for the two of you good, i wish you the best
I've always felt 10 years younger to be honest with you. What she did was bring smiles to my face...
The age difference does not bother me at all...we seem to be on the same vibe and that rarely happens with me and a woman in RL...
I'm just curious to see how everybody responds to this. That's why I asked. I'm not asking how I should proceed or anything lol...

OK, so 10 years would be 26, she's only 4 years younger than that. I use those year-spread things as a guide, they're not written in stone...and I don't believe that they should be.
I think it's awesome that you've found someone that you feel that strong of a connection with, SF.
I have friends that are further apart in age and it is working perfectly for them. Love eliminates all differences. Stop wandering what others thinks and start thinking about what she does and you do. Nobody else counts.

Well, I don't know if this matters, but I suspect you may be condemned to hell for such sinful behavior, T, but that's a long ways off (with any luck!), so I say go ahead and enjoy!
