You'll find your good fit someday as well. I think if that's bad, then I wonder how a 29 year old with an 18 year old looks! W ho has read the book "Women's room"? It gives a very logical explanation on which age group should date which.
First a young girl not younger than 18 anyway with an old man, then a middle aged woman like ith a young man then may be her age or a little yonger. As long as you two arent together for interest I am only thinking the guy who is so lucky.
Honestly, it all depends. I think to a lot of people, age is simply a number. But I have a different opinion and I would like to give it. I think when it comes to. I don't think it's particularly inappropriate, I just think you might find a hard time finding things in common, particularly if she's living on campus.

December 13, It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with the couple in question. December 14, 1: So, everyone has heard of a 25 year old guy marring a 19 year old girl, and thought nothing.
Or a 24 year old guy marrying a 26 year old girl. At what point do you start wondering if everything is ok? How about 28 year old guy and 19 year old girl?

And my mother is four years older than my father, too. Health — Hey, I have no objection. It really comes down to compatability and level of maturity, not age. December 14, 3: December 14, 6: I personally know Two couples where the boy was and the girl was 27 yrs. December 14, 4: December 14, 5: I wouldn't trade her for a year-old for anything, especially when I remember what I was like at Also, did you read that OkCupid article, or just the comments?
Because the article, if I'm thinking of the same one you are, was about how awesome women in their 30s are, and how dumb it is that guys don't tend to date older women. And they had data to back up something women being awesome!
Honey, five years is an age gap when you are a child. Five years doesn't rate as an age gap when you are an adult. I skipped to the end. This must worry you for some reason, but it shouldn't. I remember a ton of lady-persons who were 31 at my 26 and I didn't give a rat's patoot about our respective ages. Be glad you've found someone you care about and who feels the same. I'm a 30 year old woman. I'd have no problem dating a 25 year old. As the bard said, love the one you're with. If she's OK with you, you should be too. When I was in my early 30's, I had a short relationship with a woman in her early 20's.
We weren't a good match and one of the things that stuck out to me was the difference in maturity. If you're thoughtful and mature and your are compatible, great, have a good time. You haven't even asked her out. Cart before the horse. I hope you've worked through your previous issues.
You have to be not only compatible, but the ages should at least be close as well. I know if I were in her year-old shoes I would want to know if I was seeing someone who used the word "cougar" seriously in any non-feline context, let alone applied to how others might view our relationship, has no problem with a double standard, i. It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with the couple in question. Harm to minors, violence or threats, harassment or privacy invasion, impersonation or misrepresentation, fraud or phishing, show more. Of course this is fine. I don't have a problem with it.
I think you need a lot more confidence and grounding, but that's just me. I'm 16 years older than my husband, we have been together for 7 years both dating and married. I'm not a MILF or a Cougar and spent most of the early years of the relationship worrying about the age difference, it has never bothered him. You like who you like, ask her out and if she says yes I hope you both have fun.
If it becomes serious you won't care about the age difference, and if it's only a bit of fun for both of you, you might learn something about yourself and women. Forget about what people on OKCupid say, what people say online to make themselves look "cooler" rarely has any actually relationship to what they'd do if they had the chance in real life. Also face early thirties deosn't look that much different to late 20's its not like she's got grey hair and a walking stick, no one is going to look twice. Are you sure that they've failed at competing? I suspect that men who date older women have realized that the only way to win at "my girlfriend is younger than yours" is not to play.
Put another way, do you really want the respect of men who think this way about women?
Would it really make you feel better about yourself? This is not enough data to say anything about you. In fact, the only thing this tells me is that you are into this particular 31 year old woman. It could, maybe, suggest that you're more into 31 year olds than other women. If you really need to be older than your lady, just wait until you're 32 and start hitting on the 31 year olds.
Ta da, problem solved. Or you could realize you're being ridiculous and ask this one out now. This is only an issue if it's made into an issue. Live your life, man. I was 27, he was A week later he turned 21 and 2 weeks after that I was It didn't last, but he's still one of my favorite people in the world.
We still root for each other. And it wasn't because of our ages that it didn't work out. But even if it was, that doesn't mean it wouldn't have been worth it.
That age gap itself is fine. But the fact that it concerns you and you have to ask this question says to me, pretty strongly, that you personally shouldn't date this woman. My oldest brother is 12 years younger than his wife. They have been together for 37 years and are happy by all accounts. So yeah, it works. Whomever started that cougar and milf shit should die in a fire.
I have been described as an "old soul", so it's not surprising I get along well with older women. As a year old, I dated a year old. In all cases, it was two people being attracted to each other, not two numbers. Just be open and honest, listen to both your heart and your mind, and it is hard for things to go too wrong. Don't worry about it. My wife is 5 years older than I am.
We met and knew within 3 days that we were meant for each other, and we've been married for 30 years. Last summer I dated a woman who is nearly five years older than me. I never cared a bit about the age difference.
