Search Results: dating younger or older people

I'm dating a much younger girl who wants to get more serious. We met at a gym (I didn't realize she was so young but legal of course :) ) and we started talking. I want to take things slower (for both our sakes). She was very unsure about me at first but when she got to know me (hard working, athletic, charitable guy i. e volunteering) she started to like me a lot. She is NOT a freeloader. She has cooked me dinner and offers to pay for meals. I make decent money but I have never gotten the vibe that she was after that. I never talk about my salary. I have met PLENTY of freeloaders in the past and she is definitely not one of them. She is also VERY into me physically. We have been on four dates and fooled around a bit (no home base yet). However she keeps telling me she is looking forward to the grand finale.

I'm really struggling with this because she really is beautiful, smart, funny and independent. However she is also falling for me very quickly. She hinted around about us "being exclusive" on our last date. I laughed, kidded a bit and change the subject. I certainly don't consider her a "pump and dump" but I'm not going to lead her on either. However I've learned (from hard experiences) that fools rush in. I have dated multiple girls in their late 20s and older. Some of the girls were cool, but some weren't. However there was always some major problem (incapitible personalities, one person isn't attracted to other that much, emotional baggage, etc). So far there has been none of that with this young girl.

Should I just say F*CK other peoples moral judgement and continue on with this chic?

POLL QUESTION:
Ladies... if a man was 25, finished college, had a career, a car, perfect credit score, was financially secure... but no place (yet)... would you date him?

Okay, go ahead. Laugh at me. Call me lazy. Call me selfish. Call me a loser. I've heard it all.

I'm currently 25 years old and I finished college in the summer of 2014 with $30,000 worth of student debt. After all my friends finished college, they all got jobs, started working moved out and a majority of them are living with 2-3 roommates or living alone, paycheck by paycheck.

After college, I moved back home and it took me 7 months to find a job. I started working, started paying down my student loan debt... and now I have enough money to pay it off in full. I am debt free now. My parents told me they like having me around and they said I could stay as long as I like. I am moving out at the end of the year... but I am currently saving up for a new car before I move out.

On the dating scene, I always hear women say that if a man doesn't have his own place, they won't date him. HOWEVER... women will happily date a guy who is in a gang, has a low level job, has virtually no income, no car, etc, etc, etc... but if a guy doesn't have his own place, he is worthless.

I understand the perks of having your own place... but any idiot can move out and get their own place. All the people I have met who moved out immediately after college or way too young, are living with a lot of roommates or paycheck to paycheck.

A smart man would wait until he is ready, make sure he is financially set and then get his own place to ensure he doesn't have to live paycheck to paycheck or with 10 other people.
