fireliter: sometimes getting the first "NO", is merely a test to see your strength of feelings/conviction over the issue at hand.

Believe it or not "instant approval/agreement" is not always the best path for either considering becomoing involved with one another.


Of course it depends what your "intentions"are with the womangrin

SatelliteServer: ... ... ...

So what ya folks thing should I stay of should I go? Midnight run or just behave and mind your own age?

... ...


You must be temporarily insane doubting it! Definitely go for it. From what you're saying looks like there is a mutual attraction. 13 years difference is nothing between 2 mature adults. The outcome is unpredictable NOT because of the age difference, but just because... it will depend on BOTH of you.

From my experience: For 7 years I was in a relationship with a man who was 12 years my senior and he was all I could look for in a man (including being a much better lover then my ex-husband who was the same age as me)

It won't be long before you 2 know if you are good for each other... But to know, you have try so NO REGRETS afterwords

P.S. I also try to leave by the rule +- 5 years, but there are no rules without exceptions when you come across a strong mutual attraction and potentially a beautiful life-long relationship

ooby_dooby: Are you crazy?
Do you want to spend the rest of your life wondering what if?
Trust me on this, 20 years from now you'll still be wondering what you could have had but didn't because you came up with all kinds of reasons why it wouldn't work instead of just throwing caution to the wind.

BTW that 5 year rule is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. People are not numbers!


thumbs up

WHAT--in Heaven's name--are you waiting for??? I see from your profile that you have religious beliefs. If you can benefit from my experience, then you'd realize that age makes NO difference!! When I was 28 (many moons ago!), I definitely would have considered someone 13 years older! I've always been more interested in finding my soulmate than to giving age a second thought!

I have had relationships with men my own age (which did not work out!), with older men (which did not work out), and with much younger men (including my husband, my soulmate!!). Regardless, there were life lessons to learn from each of these relationships professor. I believe that any romance that I have ever had made me the person I am, and while it took 52 years, each of those relationships prepared me to meet, love, and appreciate the one whom God intended me to be with!! smitten

Someone I respect once said to me: "Well, one of you has to be older!" In other words, GO FOR ITI!!!! applause What, pray tell, do you have to lose?? (JMO, of course!)

BTW, nice to meet you handshake , and best of luck to you! Keep us posted, okay?

age doesn't bother me when it's in a respectable range , not something like 15 yr going out with someone that 30-34 people are too busy i like this about her or i like that, i hate this, i hate that ect amplify that way of thinking on a thousandth scale humanity in gonna be the next thing the endangered list LOL
advice: love the things at that different, strange and ain't normal <within a limit> called being unique

Well, I have no clue what your criteria is. As for me, I really have no expectations. When I have expectations, I set myself up for disappointment..wink

Hugz_n_Kissez: Age has nothing to do with maturity....I know people older than me who are immature and I wouldn't date...so it all depends on the person...I can see age being a factor when the person is wayyyyyyy young...BUT not at 28 and 41.....one bad experience doesn't mean everyone younger is the same....

I would have to say this is true..no rules are without exceptions and I myself don't mind a 10 or 12 yeas age difference either way if real love is in the picture,it's too hard to come byheart beating I think Laura is one of the greatest women I met online..she is a real sweetheart.
