Boy,last night after such a terribly emotional day I went home and unwound.I found out my ex was dating again and it didnt hurt me,it felt more weird that he had a gf.I am glad for him cause that means he will leave me in peace I hope.I decided to take a little break and just quit worrying about men and dating.I have this friend that has been emailing me.He is younger..like 6 years younger..ok I have been seeing myself into older men lately and this is something that really made me stop and scratch my head a bit.I am just now settled in my career and getting off on my own and this younger guy that thinks the world of me is interested in me.Boy that blew my mind.While I do admit it is flattering as he is so smoking hot..it

I always dated older until I met my bf who is 8 years younger than I am. We are totally happy and living together with my 9 year old son. It works for us!! I think it just has to be someone who although they might be younger in years on the planet has had experiences in common with you and has a maturity or even a sprirituality a bit more developed than their peers. My bf and I barely notice the age difference. Just thought I would throw you my two cents!!

Thanks City. It just is something I have never considered before.I have always dated my age or a few years older and recently thought I was more attracted to older men.Maybe the attraction is being persued by a younger man.I dont know if we were to date what he could bring to my life.Its something I have never considered.It puzzles me but yet I am wondering if he really is interested in me or the ideal of me being a older career oriented woman.Maybe I will give it a try.I am talking to him.No pressure or no strings just enjoying talking and thats enough for me right now.I am glad everything is great for you and your man. It does give me something to think about.Im not sure that it would be a route I would go on but I must admit the idea of it is kinda exciting. I will play it by ear..something to think about..exciting..
