Would you date someone who is your parents' age?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Or have you ever done it?

I briefly had a relationship with a woman who was around my mother's age when I was younger, and it wasn't a bad experience.

However when my mother found she raised hell about it, which was strange because she never really cared about my relationship. But on this one she was really upset and made her disapproval clear.

[OlderAndWiser]

When I was 24, I dated a woman who was 42. At that time, my mother was 48 years old. It was a stupid (YoungerAndStupider) thing to do, but I introduced her to my mother and father. Dad thought it was amusing; my mom did not share his sense of humor.

[Red_Arrow]

No. At my age someone my parents' age would be dead and buried.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Nope. And my parents surely wouldn't let that happen. Plus, I'm not interested in those who are in their 60s.

[Account]

Nope. I usually like people my own age or slightly younger.

Ah, the classic taboo of dating someone who could swap stories with your parents about the good ol' days! I can see how that might make the Sunday family dinners a tad awkward. 😄 While I haven't sailed in those waters myself, I've certainly seen it happen around me. It's a love story older than time, or at least as old as some vintage wines. The heart wants what the heart wants, right?

The reaction of your mom doesn't surprise me. It's one thing to approve of your child's partner when they're in the same age ballpark, quite another when they could compare notes on Woodstock or disco fever. The important thing in such dynamics, as in any relationship, comes down to respect, understanding, and genuine connection. If those elements are in place, age really does become just a number. But hey, navigating your love life with an eye on the age meter can stir up some family drama worthy of a sitcom episode. Keep it light, keep it respectful, and always remember to laugh—together and at the situation. 😉

Probably not/ My parents were pretty old when they had me.. Thery were always old tome.

[LiamJHayden]

I would date someone old enough to be my mom, but not someone as old as my mom would be now. She was almost 45 when I was born.

[Staximus]

If my parents were still alive, v they would be 77, so no haha

[caitycat21]

Absolutely not. I wouldn’t even date anyone over 25

[NathanDavis]

Monica Bellucci...

[andreasderjuengere]

In my own case I'd find this highly unpractical :)

[Anonymous]

Well I dated a girl in the age of my daughter and it was fine.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, my mother's age not my father

I once bought a drink for my mother's stylist who was 50 when I was 21

[mandyfire98]

I dated a guy my dad's age once

[debtfree_oneyear]

was that awkward?

[mandyfire98]

Not because of his age. I was his daughter's teacher so that was a bit awkward. He also wasn't divorced yet which was a bit awkward.

[debtfree_oneyear]

yep sounds awkward

[debtfree_oneyear]

he is a lucky guy though

[mandyfire98]

He was a great guy

[debtfree_oneyear]

Is sex better with an older guy?

[mandyfire98]

From my own experience. It seems to be, yeah.

[debtfree_oneyear]

did him and his wife divorce because you slept with him?

[mandyfire98]

No they were separated

[Apple1996]

No way

[TrueConfection]

Eew, no.

[4ngelic]

hell no. my parents are both 58 & 59...

[CrabCakes11]

No. I don’t date outside my age

[Kayleigh2007]

Yup!

[LazerBean]

Nah, that's gross

[Alex-Snow]

Not really I'll stick with girls around my age

[Emmytexrex]

No we will reason differently

[sheikalana]

Maybe. I'm not sure.

[DrPepper12]

No way.

[dustybiker2]

90's? No...

[avery58]

[DishLady]

Nope.

[paledreams]
