Why is hard to date someone younger than you?

Why don't you date someone older than you? Probably the same reason people younger than you aren't dating you.

Because, depending on the person, they either aren't interested in the same thing. Or they aren't mature enough to handle a relationship with an age difference?

I think it depends on the maturity level of the person. You can date someone your own age who also isn't about anything in life.

Sometimes it's the case where the generation that gets you considers you too old and the generation older too young.

Unfortunately, some people are slow to realise age is just a number. It doesn't reflect your interests or maturity. If someone younger rejects you they still have to learn some life lessons and don't deserve your companionship. Sucks to be them.

"Dating" should have nothing to do with age difference ...

Sadly, it is not just my collegues said about maturity, in some cases, everything is blured out by finances (pretty much any relationship no mater we agree with it or not)

Lets face it, what it should really count is:
- beauty
- inteligence
- money

In that order...

Now of course, some people wont agree with differences more than 10-15 years, but there are plenty cases with age difference more than 25... Usually, women younger than the man... And even more, the man is some kind of entrepreneur of some kind...

So the difference in age can be more or less, (either case it surely exist), but people get more confortable with his partner being closer to his/her age ... Just my opinion...

Age difference is no problem for me. I am happy to date younger by a good decade and also older by a decade. I do however have my boundaries. Not because of maturity, but because too bigger difference just doesn't feel right. You've got to be comfortable in the relationship.

don't see a problem with dating someone younger or then yourself. I personally know a lot of couple with five to ten years difference. It usually goes the younger you are the shorter the age difference. As you get older the more it broaden out. I can't say I dated anyone the same age as me. Usually older.

Your different views have enlightened me a lot, it is true age is just but a number, thought maturity goes hand in hand with it.

I didn't introduce myself, I am new looking for honest lover.

I would not date anyone over a 10 year age difference. I will sum it up they are immature and nothing but users. Not into being used by someone for sex, a place to stay, or for money.

Now this is a brilliant answer. Can we have this come up automatically every time someone asks this age question?

Many young man here looking for a mature woman.

I don't have a problem dating younger guys if we share the same values and hopes for the future. To me, age is nothing but a number.,

I will give you the absolute, most positive, most definitely correct answer you can get:

It's a matter of personal preference. When two people's preferences match, no matter what age, and they're mutually attracted to one another in whatever way they consider relevant, then everything else makes no difference. And it really shouldn't, no matter what others say.

Asking people on here about it will only give answers (and judgments) pertaining to their own view. You should take all that with a grain of salt... mine included lol.

Welcome to the forum btw.

leave us alone... joke..

welcome to the forum. .

Thank you

nothing is hard unless we are doing it the wrong way.

that fact must be recognized, and accepted, to learn any new easy way.

Its true Desh, age doesn't matter. Personal preference does.
Its the other way around for me. I like older men and they seem to be attractive for me but most of my suitors are younger. Nothing wrong with them though, just want matured men.
