How Much Older is Too Old?
I'm 19 and freshly moved out of the house, living with three roommates that had all been in the same class and have known each other for quite some time. One of them is my older sister.
One of my roommates has people over pretty frequently, and I tend to be invited to join and hang out with him and his friends. Everyone in the house (excluding myself, but including visitors) averages at 8-9 years older than myself. A couple of his friends have been interested in me, so I decided to ask myself the question of whether or not I would date someone almost ten years older than me.
I was talking to a friend about it, and she gave me a bizarre look and stated that they were far too old! But I tend to appreciate their stability and maturity. What do you guys think?
As far as maturity goes, I've been mistaken for someone in their early-to-mid twenties. Not necessarily as far as looks go, but they always say that I carry myself as a mature person and they would've never guessed that I was only 19.

There are so many benefits to older guys. They are more mature. They are usually done with college or have started their careers. They are usually ready to settle down. They have already been there and done that. Many of them have really good credit scores so they can make big purchases that younger guys in debt can't. I prefer older men.

I used to think that the older guy i would be with could be until 5 years older than me. But one time i had a very special thing with a guy who was 8 years older than me, and it.was amazing, because he was so marure as you say... but that's how far i'm going, until 8 years, not more

someonegoingsomewheresomehow....
it really depends on you and YOUR choice...yeah, sure I may say hey, thats cool to date older people and all that. but, really what do you thin
I say try it but, be kind of laid back and see if it is cool for you. also be really careful about getting too wrapped up...
besides..10 years is not a really BIG age gap...but, maturity levels are severely different for dudes n girs at those ages...they are almost equal...almost.
Good luck

I think that if you're mature, and if people your own age just don't do it for you, ten years isn't a big deal.
