Would you date a girl 10 years older than you?

I'm 28 and she's 38. She's freakin' gorgeous, but what about as the years go by? She made it quite clear that she is not looking for a fling, so I'd have to be serious if I made the jump, unless I wanted to be an asshole and totally screw her over by leading her on (I'm not a guy who would do that, at least not on purpose). Damn...what to do.

Well, if she is beautiful at 38 and looks young then she probably takes good care of herself, and will continue to look younger than her age.

Plus once you really love someone that person looks better and better to you.

go for it bro

10 isn't a prob. Consideinr most husbands are 3-5 years older - you're only 5 years older than the norm.

and when she's 52 and you're 62 - it won't matter. Your both old farts.

razor, u read it backwards... she's older.

I'd still go for it. Does she have money or is she a leech. also, if you don't want kids this is primo.

I'm just not sure if I'm ready to quit messin with all the hot little 21-25 year olds. Giving that up is probably my main concern. The thing with this woman though is that the maturity is there and I can actually stand to be with her all the time.

If you commit to anyone long-term you need to love the person that they are and not how they look because looks always go. And that's not to say that when you hit you could develop a nice big fat middle-aged gut. At 38, it sounds like she's already aware of what it takes to "age well" --- that's to her advantage. You haven't even encountered that aspect of life yet. (If I look at my graduating class at my 20 yr reunion, I was by FAR one of the best looking people there and I never considered myself a "looker" in HS.. but jeezus... gravity was not good to most of my graduating class...)

But if you feel like there's enough of an emotional attraction and you feel like you are both in the "same place" in life, then you have a foundation to build a relationship on.

I've dated guys 13 yrs older than me & 13 yrs younger -- the older guy was the better match of the two by far. But in both cases we were at different places in our lives and it probably woudl've failed miserably.

LMAO Also consider that men have a shorter life expectancy and I was in generally better shape than the older guy -- so my question to a relationship w/ him was who the hell is going to push me around when I'm old & gray???

Does she ask you to call her mommy??
