Possibility with a younger guy?

Just as a general question, would you assume a 22 year old guy wants just a fling/fun than to actually date someone? I am 28 and I met this guy through some friends of friends who is 22, we really hit it off but I'm past the stage of just wanting to play around (I don't care about being married or anything anytime soon but I would like something beyond a casual fling which is what I keep finding) so I don't know if I should go ahead and file him in the "don't get your hopes up" category or not.
I usually would not have been attracted to someone younger than me but he really sparked my interest. He actually seems more mature than some of the 30 year olds I've dated (some of those idiots I've posted about here :) but I just always assume a guy that young doesn't want anything major and probably just wants to have a good time. I realize nobody can be predicted so I guess I'm just looking for opinions or even success stories if they exist?? ;)
I was planning on taking my dating-hiatus but of course I bump into him and wasn't even expecting it.

I agree.
My BF is 24 and I am 35. We've been dating a year in July, and it's the best relationship I have had - and I have one marriage under my belt. We women are often more worried about the age thing than they are. Yes, there are guys who like older women for just one thing, but there are others who like older women because girls their own age worry about things they see as irrelevant.
My BF has always preferred dating older women. At this time we are planning his moving in with me, he has his own place at the moment (no he isn't living at home! LOL)We have discussed marriage and children and all of those things. I was hesitant to date him, but I am glad I got over that.
No one is the same. Just go on a date if you want and take it from there. Best of luck.
Honestly, if I were to meet someone and know upfront he was 22, I'd probably discount him because of the maturity issue.
Hey! I remember you!
:)
Good Luck to you for I tried dating a 23 yr old and I am 31 LOL this was 6 months after I seperated from my soon to be divorced hubby anyhoo it seems to me that he was more into games and manipulating me then to really have a realtionship in other words I got my hopes up and I realized that he was a sleeze but this doesn't mean that all young boys are like that I am just dating and we had a great time but in the end I want a fun yet mature realtionship this kid would make plans and blow me off and not call for weeks at end and then call again in other words he was a playa LOL but in the end its your heart and choice don't let society tell you who to be with I have no regrets when it comes to this kid but I am very happy that at the time he helped me feel alive again now I am ready to move on and be on my own :)
