I don't think that you should date anyone more than 2 years older than you from the age of 16 - 19. anything before 16 should stay in the same age group.If my 16 year old daughter OR son went out with a 25 year old #h*t would hit the fan and heads would roll!!!The older a person gets, it becomes less of an issue. I wouldn't be thrilled if my 21 y.o. dated a 30 y.o., but I'd learn to live it, maybe. []Personally, if I weren't married, 10 years older and maybe 5 years younger would probably be my limit.I always love your posts Carolyn, I completely agree with you, but 10 years older, then you would be 10 years younger than them. Surely it should go both ways?Hi Jolly - What a nice thing to say, I've enjoyed your posts as well. Forgive me for not responding, sometimes I'm just not very talkative. It doesn't go both ways for me. I wouldn't have a problem dating someone 10 years older and probably would consider 15 years or more, but I couldn't see myself dating someone that much younger. Truthfully 5 years younger than me is probably too much. I know it's all mental, but I would feel like their mom. Yes, if I were single I would be more inclined to date/marry someone older, but ideally we would be within a few years of each other. I am married to a younger man.......4 months younger. []
