Being together with someone who is older

[StayTuned]

Just feels incredibly awesome.

Seriously, it's just great. I am 24, she just turned 31.

I met her on an airplane and she was lovely to talk to. Open, funny, smart and witty.

We don't live too far away from each other, so dating wasn't an issue. On top of that she's very sport active, which means she has a great body and is open for all kind of funny things. She's also Russian and loves paintball. How awesome is that?

No teeny drama and no trivial issues. I can talk to her about anything from stupid things to politics and economics. She already has a masters degree and a bachelors degree.

My friends tell me I am weird for dating someone who is 6, almost 7 years older than I am. But I don't care. Actually I ask myself why the hell didn't I try dating older women before.

I'll never go back to some 19-25 years old, ever. No wonder I couldn't be in a relationship for longer than 3 months before I had enough of her. I feel like she's the first woman who is able to handle me and my expectations.

Who else is in the same situation?

I would say it all depends on the maturity of the person, there is mature people in all ages, and immature people in all ages aswell. I'm perfect where I am with my girlfriend atm, I'm 19 and she is 18. We've been together for 4 years now. However I could list several people that are older than me but far less mature. Also culture would have a role in it too I would guess. Just gotta find your match =). Happiest wishes to you two forward.

I had a lot of trouble finding guys my age who were compatible with me. I was a fairly mature teenager and was pretty much completely uninterested in everyone available.

When I met my boyfriend (I was 17 and he was 24) we became very fast friends, and then we started dating, and now, 3 years later, I couldn't be happier. It's really about finding your match... even if that means looking upwards on the age scale just to skip to people more emotionally stable. You know, as long as you're old enough... >.>

Different stages of life I guess. I'll be done with my university soon and enter the job hunt... I can't even talk to 18/19 years old anymore who sometimes didn't even finish school and their biggest issue is how much allowance they get from their parents.

People can enter those stages of life at different ages, though. Basically forcing them to mature faster than their peers.

Thanks a lot for the nice wishes

You found someone that fit you, i don't think that has anything to do with her age though. So if and when your relationship ends, don't write off people your own age only because you hit the "lottery" once with a woman who was older than you^^

I have been with someone who was 18years older than me, we were in a "relationship" for ~6months, and she brought me nothing but problems.

So age doesn't have anything to say, and ignore your friends, 6-7years is nothing.

Welcome on board :-)

My fiancé is 49. I'm 26. Great personality, we don't want kids, our lifestyle is kick ass. Our living expenses are so low we have all the time in the world on the weekends to go to the casino and go out all night. No she's not a desperate clingy older woman, none of us wanted relationship when we first met but hey as cheesy as it sounds, that's love!
Being with someone older as you state OP, is great. Apart from kick ass sex, just being around one another is great company.

Mhh, the sex, yes. She knows things, not even the sluttiest girl I've been with knows them Experience is king, I guess.

well you know they dont say that "women are like a fine wine and only become better with age" for nothing.

not that i think 7 years is really much of an age gap at 24

i think thats something most people tend to be edgy about with children just becoming recognized by the law as adults.

[solvexx]

I'm 22 and my GF is 23.. Does that count?

[Pull My Finger]

Older is always better. They'll probably die sooner than you, which either means that a) they're not gonna scavenge your money when you're gone or b) you're getting their money when they're gone.

so far most of the guys i've dated have been younger with the exception of 1 who was a year older than me so I can't really comment on the older guy thing since 1 year is close enough to consider us the same age lol

The youngest i've dated was 4 years younger. He was 20 and I was 24. I suppose it was cool... mind you that age difference is marginal too. For my next partner I don't think i'd want to go too much younger than me as guys in their early 20's can be a little immature. Then again maybe it's just the ones i've known lol

Mmm I like older women but unlike a lot of younger guys, the lure of experience doesn't entice me. We haven't taught each other anything lol

No offense but I thought the quote was "Men age like fine wine and women age like milk"

I was way more mature and had higher expectations from my partners than most of my friends.

I always ended up being disappointed by girls who had other priorities and/or found someone "whom they suddenly liked more", even tho our relationship just started.

Being a complicated person who shouldn't be pushed into anything isn't the guarantee for successful relationships. She's giving me the time I need and I'm positive that the only reason is her greater experience and emotional stability. She simply knows how to keep me

Im 25 and my GFs 31, we've been together for 6 years and it's been pretty good. I think the maturity is definitely noticeable and something real nice, makes it easier to keep the relationship steady.

Nice to see that this age gap seems to be working quite good The stereotype is usually older men dating younger women. Works the other way around just as well.

[Blueobelisk]

Why does her having a masters and bachelors at 31 seem like an accomplishment? I'll have my masters by age 23 or 24.

No teeny drama and no trivial issues. I can talk to her about anything from stupid things to politics and economics. She already has a masters degree and a bachelors degree.

Wow, you are so mature for your age!
What a bunch of crap. Everything you just said has aboslutely nothing to do with age.
Also, a masters AND a bachelors? Well ill be darn!.. Incredible since you start with the bachelor and then you upgrade to a masters degree...So..

Also, shes better in bed than the sluttiest girls you've been with... And then you conclude EXPERIENCE is key? Wouldnt that mean your girlfriend has been with more guys (=exerience) than the sluttiest girl you've veer been with? Thus making your girlfriend the sluttiest...

Because it shows commitment and endurance. You also need some certain level of smartness to accomplish that. Considering the fact that she moved to Germany just 7 years ago and mastered the language to an incredible level. Good enough to study and finish architecture on German. She's smart, and smart is sexy.

And you show zero maturity with your shitposting. Good job on that.
