I recently went out on a date with a woman that was older than I was (~20 yrs) and I was curious to know what everyone's experience here was with dating older women? In particular those of you that have had long term relationship experience.

Wow lol I'm looking for other people's experience and not my own '~'
Ok, well I think the date went well. I usually gauge a date by how much I learn and connect with the other person, but in the case of this one I didn't learn what I typically do. She was a master at interrogation, very subtle. She was able to answer my questions without much depth and formulate another question for me in the same breath.
I spoke with her later and she said she enjoyed it and called it refreshing. Basically we sat down to pizza and went to a local grocery store after. Called it a night @ 8pm after meeting @ ~6pm.

Hi,
I am not going to play the old broken record about age just being an number
But I was wondering why did you go out with this lady... was it for a date with a view to it developing into a relationship? Or was it maybe that you were just trying to get an idea of the kind of interaction you could expect from an older woman?
Nothing wrong if you fancy having a relationship with an older woman.... but Im just wondering if you have really thought it through.... For instance, I notice from your profile that you say you would like to have children... You are 32 years old, and she is 20 years older, i.e.she is 52 years old...
I am thinking that it is quite likely that she has already had the quota of children that she wants, and at 52 might not contemplate going down that road again... I know I personally would not want to start having children again at her age...
Don't give your up goals in your search for that special lady, whatever her age, but do remember to think ahead for you both. Good luck
I was lucky enough to have met, dated and married a beautiful lady who was 6 years older than me. We were together for forty years before she died. Age creates some issues, but none that can't be handled by both of you. Compromises must be made and agreed to mutually and with a smile. Go for it dude.

Ok, on the matter of children. This site unfortunately does not have the variety of options in order to correctly express my position on having kids. I'm closed to having kids now since I can't provide the financial security I believe needed to have them, but would be open to discussing the matter if (as a couple) we felt we were ready for it. In other words it would depend on us and our feelings on children together.
This was actually our first discussion before we met. The reason I bring up the whole matter is because I'd like to be aware of any other considerations I should have in view of developing a long term relationship. I do like her and I feel that part of my responsibility is to think the matter through as thoroughly as possible.
I recently had a 20-some year old profess his love to me. This was not on a dating site, but someone I know in person. I have to say, while it was flattering, it was quite hard to believe & even a bit scarey. He still keeps calling & texting me. I've basically ignored him. To me, we're in different stages of our lives. He close to my daughter's age, for Pete's sake!

I'm not even going to ask how he acquired your cell number and why he has such strong feelings for you L

Well, I'll tell you... I thought he was a friend. And I do consider him one. A very nice guy. As far as his feelings... maybe to acquire his citizenship?? He's from Italy.

You two are funnnny!! Actually T, he's the Italian I had posted about quite a while back. Not sure if you remember that or not. He'd been in the states & then gone back to Italy for about a year. Well, he's back...
