tell the age difference

I've just met a wonderful man...I'm usually attracted to older men.It's been that way most of my life..but a few weeks back I met this man. He's really sweet and kind....I'm also very shy by nature and talking with him was so easy for me...Since that first day it's been hours on the phone talking until wee hours of the morning...This is kind of a first for me....He is pretty a pretty far distance from me...But we have talked about if this keeps going like this.and time goes by.....we would find a way to shorten distance between us..It's just so amazing to me....how great we get along. And what a devoted father he is to his children..
Anyway what I want to know is what is the age difference between your SO..and does age matter?I'm 10 yrs older than him... If it came to moving it would have to probably be me....He has 3 sons at home....Then after his sons were off to college we could relocate back to where I am ....If thats what I deisred...Like I said this is my first younger man relationship..I love it!!

I am almost 13 years older, we are married and have been together for 11 years. At different stages in our lives the age difference has been a problem. I wanted a child with him when I was 38, he didn't, and now that I am 46 he does and I don't.

He is very superfical (Did I spell that right, LOL) and complained about the way I was aging at 42, so I have had cosmetic surgery- Never thought I would, but I am very happy with the results.

Of all the relationships I have had in my life, this one has been the best. I don't mind the rough patches, the baby issue has been the most stressful though.

Best wishes to you and your guy! :)

In general, a ten-year age gap is nothing to spend time worrying over at all. If you were the man and he the woman, would it even matter at all? You two are within the same generational era and I would think there would be no issues that would be solely age-gap related.

According to a recent poll here at ageless, the most couples that responded had a 15-20 year age gap, many had 20-25, and several had more than that (older women, younger men). You have what's known around here as a "baby gap". Relax and enjoy it...he sounds like a great guy :D

10 years is not bad at all. WHen two people are like minded and enjoy being together, an age difference doesn't matter too much. The chemistry is what matters.

Lucky you! 10 years is fabulous...you will learn a lot from each other! My last boyfriend was 17 years younger, I'm 42, he was 25. Best best of luck and blessings!

If you look around the site, you may see there have been a number of threads just about what gaps we have, and now we have these nifty keychains in our sigs too.

You'll see, the exact size of the gap really doesn't matter. It's who you both are that counts. 10 years...13 years...whatever...there's no magic number that's better, or worse.

where do I get one of those key chains? thats cute I like it.

Wind - have you met in person?

I want to know where to get one of those keychains, too. How do I go about it?

Just got mine.

Ten years isn't all that much :p
I'm married to a guy that is 13 years younger than me and we are both very happy. Age is only a number... what really matter is that you are on the same page as the person you chouse to be with and that you make each other happy.

The fact that you are LDR makes it a little harder, but it can be done. Joel and I was living 6000 miles from each other before we got married, him in WA and I in Norway. Now we both live in Norway.
Take a look at our LDR forum here and you will see that it can be done.

Hoe far away from each other are you two?

Trying out my new keychain and signature......

Oops...obviously did something wrong trying to change font and color of my signature. The keychain looks great though, Kristin! Thanks!

Well I'm in Florida he is in Arizona.. We have not met yet.I tend to go very slow in my realtionships.We are now talking about him flying in and staying for days..Then me to him....But we both know we want a real life relationship......In time if everything continues to go great.i would probably go to him.Then when his boys are older.......we could relocate back to florida.....Time will tell......so far so great......We probbaly talk more than most people do in 6 months...in the last few weeks...I've been greeting the sun each morning during conversations :) what a lovely sun it is...

I know what you are talking about when you say that you talk more than most people do in 6 months... Joel and I used to talk for 6 hours every day online... 'cause of the time difference he stayed up til 5 in the night, and I was up at 7 every morning, even I'm an night-person :p

:) well I'm the one staying up til 5:30 -6:00...thats ok i keep telling him I don't want to hang up..What really surprises me is I'm usually attracted to older men......My new friend is the first younger...........The thoery I kind of lived by just doesn't always ring true......"with age comes wisdom"

Joel is also my first younger... and last I hope :D
But before Joel I have only been with older guys, too.. not a lot older.. but still...
Joel is more wise than any of my ex-boyfriends, he even is more mature in many way ways... So I guess maturety and wisdom not always comes with age.
I think some, both men and women, never get mature and other are mature even before they are considered "grown ups". I wasn't very mature before I was 26-27... :o He is 20, and both mature and wise.
But as I said before; Age really doesn't matter as long as you both are one the same page in life :)
