Ok, so it's been almost two weeks since I broke up with Nascar. A tough two weeks. At first I didn't miss him, because I was so angry, but as time goes by, I really miss him. It really sucks, because I know no matter how much I miss him, it doesn't change the fact that we just didn't fit with the whole kids thing. I could have somehow maybe have learned to deal with the other

I think you are smart not to fall for "Mr. History's" line.

He's 56 and 20 years older. I don't know........ that just seems a little too much age difference. We had lunch this week and he did ask me out casually for a glass of wine Friday night. I answered on a yes, because I kind of felt off guard. Does that make sense?

Wow you and I do seem to have a lot in common. I was wooed by a guy in his fifties once in my late twenties ( making the age difference even larger ha+yuck) and I felt this pull toward him so I figured what could it hurt. We went out a few times, and there was some sort of attraction going on but what I ended up figuring out was that I actually had a healthier relationship with my father than I thought...lol I didnt need two of them and I didnt need to be having sex with a father figure. We were in such different stages of life it was too difficult to shake the father figure thing for me. That being said, I am sure there are others where this worked out. it just REALLY didnt for me. I somehow thought it would because typically I have always dated about 7-10 years older than me so I guess I thought whats a little more??
I ended up with a guy 8 years younger. And if you had told me that was going to happen I would have smacked you on the head...Our story started out with so many random meetings and quirky funny conversations with nobody making a move for weeks but both of us talking to everyone we knew about it. I never knew his age until the first date and by then there was such massive anticipation it didnt seem like anything could really shock me. But I honestly didnt think he was going to say 24 - shocking. He is 26 now and I dont see any difference between us and never really did because we have similar experiences I guess and have faced similar challenges. Anyhow, I say go younger! The ones in their twenties dont have the same commitment problems and havent given up on the idea of having kids( in general IMO of course) - as long as they have a career plan and are striving toward something (i.e. not just playing xbox and texting their buddies all day lol) I think younger guys can be a great choice.

I work with my BF (he's 10 years older than me) and I can see your point.

You and Loonybunny are two peas in a pod with your attraction to younger men LOL!!!


Good for you for stepping outside your original comfort zone and dating a younger man.

We do tease each other still about the age difference but mostly we click so well that it only coes up with pop culture stuff or old tv shows, movies, etc.
I ALWAYS went with older men and had good relationships ( though they didnt work out, I dont think it was age related) with them - mostly like I said 7-10 years older. This one came as a huge surprise actually but I just went with the flow in the beginning and fell in love. I would have never thought I would end up with someone younger but I guess you're right - it was good of me to step outside my dating box. Thank goodness I did!!
