I'm actually engaged to a guy about 16 years younger than me right now. However, before my fiance I would refuse to date anyone even a little bit younger than me. I thought they'd all be too immature, not willing to commit, he wouldn't be ready for kids, he'd be in too different of a place in life, etc. It actually took a lot for me to go on a first date with my now fiance. However, after I was willing to give it a real try it didn't take too long for me to realize that oftentimes age is just a number. I quickly found my fiance was very mature and totally willing to commit when it came time. There certainly are ways he was in a different stage of life than me (he's finishing his grad school, he has pretty different pop culture references, etc.) However, that ended up not being nearly as big of a deal as I thought it would be. When I told him I couldn't wait to have kids he was 100% on the same page with me (and now I'm pregnant by the way!).
Under most circumstances I do not think I would have ever dated a guy much younger than me, let alone be engaged to him and be pregnant with his child. However, the reason why it worked with him is because he was on the same maturity level as me. If he wasn't at a very high maturity level there is 0 chance the relationship would have gone past the first date

That is way too much of an age Gap and not out of 10 times he's only thinking about sex. But he wants it in a serious relationship because he sees that you're older and he wants to fool around more unlikely. Plus to also get bragging rights to his friends to say that he's dating an older woman. If you're not comfortable with it, as much as I don't agree with age Gap relationships like that anyway, nobody can force you to do anything you don't want to do. You hesitate, then that's all you need to focus on. Is that you're hesitant about something like that. At the end of the day let him go elsewhere. If you have to ask a questions, then you know you don't feel comfortable with it.
In my case, I was the one really getting fooled. She was 42, and I was 28. I believed in her love, it seemed genuine, and even though VERY sweet and, apparently, VERY caring, she was just a lying whore. So don't believe anyone for their words or even some of their actions. Try to look deeper
I would date someone who is minimum age gap of 10 years younger any closer to my age and i tend not to get along with them in a romantic sense...
friendships seem fine with ages around or closer even older than me but i prefer dating younger than myself due to past experiences

I think you get to know how serious someone is by dating them.
It all comes down to personal preference. If he is into older women then it's his thing. If you personally don't mind how young he is just afraid of what other people would think then go for it regardless, 10 year is not like an extreme age gap.
Though my line is at 5 years difference at max, I've known many couple with a bigger age gap.Tell me what guy can honestly answer for guys/younger guys?
Do they not all have their own individual minds? Do some not put limitations on finding
love? Do some not want a woman that is more
secured financially versus the young women
that so often demands a guy brings everything
to the table when all she brings is her looks?
Sort of balanced things out but it's a individual
basis.Could be the MILF factor, or could be you have money and assets.
Either way, you need to ensure you are not the "option" in the relationship. Don't be too strong with the kid, as it could be infatuation and you've charmed him.
Just ensure to look into the real reasons for the relationship, and whether they are compatible with your ideals and goals.Would I date a woman 10 years younger? Probably not.
Would I date a woman 10 years older? Certainly not.
But all this is my own personal opinion, and I'm just one man. Other men may have a different opinion. Every man has his taste in women, and nothing is wrong with this. At the end of the day, compatibility is more important than age.Because younger guys want sex and they just think older women are easier to get.
Older women are easier to bang, use, and can offer more things.
A lot of my friends have an older side-chick they use just for having sexI summarize it in three points:
- More experience in bed,
- increased libido,
- fewer commitments.
older women are more feminine than today's generation women with less expectation, less drama, less toxic, more experienced, they are always thankful in bed.
Because older girls are far more mature and actually know what they want out of life by their late 20s and in their 30s. I’m dating a girl 6 years older than me and it’s an amazing relationship!
If it's just dating, then yes I would.
Older women are attractive too.Stop acting that way and enjoy yourself. You have a right to happiness.
When you're both adults age really doesn't matter. If you both love eachother then go for it
He figures you are getting older and hornier. He does not want to "date" you, he just wants to fuck you. Don't kid yourself.
Because women your age are usually a lot less drama that women our age.
I wouldn't date someone that much older, but I was really into a 28 year old while I was only 20. Never went anywhere , I never said anything
Most don't and those who do is just because they have a milf fetish probably
Even 1 year :) @nonfrivolous
