23 female and 29 year old guy dating? Is the age difference too much?

[Anonymous]

My questions would be if he’s been around a lot and number 2, would be take me seriously or would I be just a young girl for fun?

[Silvermantis]

No. I dated a man 10 years older than when I was 18. I had JUST turned 18 too, yes he was 28. Almost 30. He was 10 was I was born. When you put it that way it’s way weirder lol I was definitely to young for him. We lasted a year though but it felt kinda like dating a parent. He was frustrated with how wild and free spirited I was, he wanted to settle down and I wanted to party.

6 years is hardly anything out of the ordinary.

Also any man of any age might just use you for fun however id bet money on an older man more likely to be serious with you than a young one. Im not sure why so many women think this when its definitely opposite. All i know is when i have a daughter id push her to date a man 5 or more years older so at least he will respect her and be likely serious. Young guys specifically will not be serious! Nor will they know wtf they are doing and make lots of mistakes. But ofc every individual is different.

Sure, he could take you seriously for long term.
What matters is if you have compatible morals, compatible long term life goals, you both have a past that is acceptable to each other, and that you have some things in common that you enjoy doing together besides just sexual stuff.

My advice would be that if you want long term, make sure that he doesn't have a past of casual sex/hooking up.

It really depends on you as individuals if it would be too much of an age gap. But 23 and 29 isn't a weird age gap

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but find out if it bothers you how much experience he has. Maybe he's a virgin. A lot of us guys are.

[Asker]

It would only bother me if he’s slept around a lot, I’m not insecure or anything honestly I wouldn’t care if he’s slept with a couple of women before but like lots of girls would turn me off and I’d hope I’m not being used for just his excitement since I’m younger but I’m just trying to be open minded dating ages because I don’t wanna feel like I didn’t try in 7 years or 10 and I’d still be single..

[Opinion Owner]

I don't think a guy in that situation would be using you like you say. You can ask about the experience, but my guess is he's got less because girls nowadays have more and guys don't have opportunities really, which is why I said he could still be a virgin or maybe only with 1 girl before. It's pretty much a lot of guys like that.

independently of same age sexual relationships the older men younger women sexual pairin is actually ideal because of women maturin faster than men and lookin for guidance and maturity in men as well i definitely would refrain from datin men under 25 as most of em wouldn't be ready to commit and are very likely to cheat at that age as well

[Anonymous]

That depends on him and the type of person he is, and what he's looking for. Ask him what he hopes or wants the relationship to be, and also tell him what you want/expect.

[boggboss]

How he takes u would depend completely on what he wants

[Avicenna]

It's perfectly fine. Whether he takes you seriously usually has nothing to do with your age. It's more likely due to his maturity level or yours, or your compatibility.

[Anonymous]

That's not too much of an age difference if you feel a connection with him. See how he treats you to know if he takes you seriously. If he pressures you for sex in the first couple of dates he's likely playing you.

[wankiam]

nah... men take a little longer to mature so you should be good

[dogsteeves]

Okay, the rule of thumb to find out if it is too much or not is that you;
Take your age divide by two and add seven.

So for the guy, it is
29÷2=14.5
14.5 7=21.5

So nope, you all are just fine.

[dogsteeves]

Forget the + symbol between 14.5+7=21.5

[GlassTop]

It’s old if you aren’t ready for a true relationship. Because I can say for a fact a 23 yo guy isn’t ready for marriage or kids.

[Dchrls78104]

Yes, if you're insecure or incompatible; no, if you're compatible and truly love each other.

[SnakeBoop]

its literally nothing

[Zlantur2]

Ages are ok, if he takes you seriously it's up to him

[Gwenhwyfar]

Not too much but your questions are very important

[Staximus]

It's fine, you're not in high school anymore

[dudeinohio]

That age difference is nothing

[Anonymous]

Most likely she's just for fun.

[lrina]

i think its fine

[crmoore]

[Iron_Man]

[Hellraiser1984]
