Dear Matt,
I am currently dating a younger man. He is 24 and I am 31. Do you think our relationship stands a chance?
If this guy has any brains, he has already realized that your age difference doesn’t mean anything. Girls his age are exactly that...GIRLS! Your age may actually be benefiting you in this situation. A 31-year old woman understands what she wants; undergoing her sexual prime; and possesses enough relationship experience to realize what it takes to be a great girlfriend. The most important thing to remember is to enjoy each other and not interupt the momentum of the relationship for the sake of labeling it. He may freak out once he hears you trying to categorize your interaction with him. Be careful, try not to come off as the ‘older woman’ needing clarity. This is just the thing that a 24-year old guy doesn’t want in his life.
For more advice on this sometime crazy and confusing world of dating, check out: Why Hasn’t He Called? This book will be out January 13, 2008. It in, my wife and I answer that age-old question, Why Hasn’t He Called? and provide all the answers you will ever need to navigate the crazy and confusing world of dating!
I am 16 years older than my man and who cares? My Swedish
grandmother told me at an early age that:
“Age doesn’t matter…as long as your matter doesn’t age”
