I leave youse all alone for a few hours and now look at the state of my thread....
So typical....all over the place....
In all honesty, that's why I keep coming back...you're all nutty like me....
Hey, listen....everyone....we're(NZ) way ahead of you guys in terms of hours....May you all have a wonderful New Years Eve. I've really enjoyed meeting you all online. You're a good lot to be around.
I'm just having a quiet night tonight....a couple of drinks with a neighbour. I would've loved to have been swooped up by a dashing man on a white horse(a car would've been suffice, I guess) and out for a romantic dinner followed by dancing the New Year in......but, hey...we gotta be grateful for what we have.....and I am.
Happy New Year.... <<<<<<<< sorry....had to throw my dancin Santa in. He's my favie....
BerrySmoothie: I've never dated or been involved with men younger than myself.
It has never been a preference of mine.
...but I wanted to experience time with a man much younger than myself.
It didn't work for me. He was very friendly but worlds apart in terms of how we each see the world. I've had children. He hasn't. He seemed quite self-centred and talked endlessly about himself. He was quite the gentleman, very polite but I think for him it was about being with an "older woman".
My question is: is there a line for you?....how young/older would you realistically venture in finding a suitable partner.
This isn't about judging others who have found happiness with sizable age differences. Just want to know people's thoughts on this.
I thought I was quite "hip"...."young at heart"....but my perspective of the world is much different to a man who is considerably younger than myself.
So anyways... did he have a big mickey? Your thoughts/experiences.....
Girlishgiggle: I think is about the chemistry between two people.. doesn´t matter the age gap...
I know a couple , they´re close friends.. and they married , they were supremely attracted to eachother. The chemestry was off the charts. They come from very different backgrounds, different races and come from vastly different environments, they had many challenges in the begining, ten years and two kids later, they are in love, comfy and the chemistry is still there.

No there really is not a line I draw. But someone who is self centered will be that way whether they have children or not. So I don;t make assumptions about age (whether younger or older).
I don;t find it that hard to figure out if a younfer man is in it just for the "older woman experience." If I get that vibe ...he's toast no jam, no butter.....
I will say that I am less likely to even let something with a younger guy even start up ( like more than 10 yrs younger) because I don;t want ot have to worry about his motivations
Borja22: You mature chicks need look no further than moi!! I´ll show you what´s what in this world
see this is a problem...what in heaven's name makes you think that you could "show" us anything that we do not already know along the lines of "what's in this world? what is that?...lol

Yeah, I get where you're coming from Felix.
I went on the date merely out of curiosity than anything else and because he was so persistent. I've always believed, don't knock it, if you haven't tried it.....and it was just not for me.
I like a more mature man around my own age. It's always been that way.
I'm not saying it doesn't work for others, just not my preference.
I a man but when dating someone younger I think we can both relate in the same way, you can have a romantic date with a younger person but if your looking for a lasting relationship and communication we probably better off in our same age bracket. Just my thoughts

I have dated a woman 15 years older than me (I am 43 and she was 58) a year ago. She had children, but they were all grown and on their own. It wasn't that, we were looking for a date. It just stumbled on us.
Nonetheless, we sparked a wonderful friendship/relationship (that lasted 6 months total).
She was a wonderful and beautiful woman (for her age). But she wasn't my type. She wasn't as intuitive than I first thought she'd be. She was fun-loving, but it seem she still had personal issues. She didn't have to come out and say anything. It was in her eyes, as well, as her body language. It seemed as if she wasn't really "ready to move on". JMO
