am I out of my mind?
| Thu, 03-03-2005 - 10:06pm |
Being a 35 years old woman with an 8 years old son – would you even consider dating a 30 years old man or am I crazy for even thinking this?
For some strange reason the majority of people contacting me are either a) younger or b) much older. Any opinions?

No, you are not crazy to consider dating a 30 year old. The last man that I dated for 7 months (we just broke up 2 weeks ago) was 29 when we started dating (I was 35 when we started dating...by the time we broke up he was 30 and I was 36; and I have two children, ages 6 and 2 1/2). That is not that much of an age gap...all depends on how much you have in common, etc. Right now I am e-mailing/chatting with 4 men (ages 45, 43, 29 and 35). Most men who contact me are between the ages of 28 and 50...my rule is that I don't date someone younger than 28 or older than 46...but if a great guy came along who was 49 or 27 its not an iron clad rule...just that I generally prefer to date men no more than 10 years old than me or 8 years younger. Its hard enough to find someone who you click with and have a lot in common with who also doesn't mind dating a single mom (most men do not seem to like to date a girl with children...last year when I was doing the on-line thing the fact that I had two children seemed to scare off about 70% of my contacts once they found out so now I have it clearly written in my profile that I have kids and how many so that they know before they decide to write me that I have kids.
Hope that helps,
mom of 2
