Awhile back I wrote a post all worried about age, I'm dating this guy who's 11 years older then I, (I'm 24) and it't the best relationship I've had so far. I was paranoid that he was way to old for me, but he doesn't even seem that much older, which is good. God, I feel great. Age is just a number I think.

It's good that it is working for you, but age is not just a number in all cases and can at times present problems when people find they are of different generations. However, what really does matter is the maturity level of both people involved and whether or not they can connect on the right level. Good luck with your relationship.

Congratulations. Its nice to hear a success story.

I have to say though that I wonder why people always say age is just a number but no one ever says weight is just a number. Pretty much the same thing isn't it? They both are descriptives of physical characteristics that are portrayed in numeric form. Just a thought.

Perhaps, but knowing what you are attracted to is not. And that is in the terms of body type, how old someone looks, how old someone acts, etc.

The age issues come out much further down the road (if at all). A person who has said they had a problem with huge age gap/older man, didn't see anything alarming early on in the first couple months in the euphoria of infatuation.
