If you are going to feel insecure this cannot work out for you because you will always think he wants someone younger. I have a habit of dating much younger guys I have alot of 21 year olds hitting on me when i go out I think alot of the guys my age look much older and im not attracted to that really. At 24, he may be much more immature than a man your age so maturity levels are important.. Be willing to accept, unless he is uncommonly financially affluent, that expectations of him should not be that of a man who is in his 30s or older.
I am 24, recently in a relationship with a woman whom was I was 26 when I met my boyfriend who was We got pretty serious straightaway and talked about marriage for the past couple of years. I'm now 30 and he's 26 but his family objected against my age when we told them we wanted to marry and since then he's not sure how to proceed. I think I wasted my time and I wish I didn't get involved. I thought he would fight for me but all he thinks about are the negatives and 'worst case' issues we might have to face. He says I will be sacrificing too much if I married him because he's not sure he can give me the time as he's just starting a new job which involves travelling and exams.
As well as his family being against me. I waited for love and it was all for nothing. My advice don't WAIT!!! I think you should ,just take time to yourself for a couple of Days in think things out. It seems you are worry about all your friends have got married and had kids. In you seem like your getting left behind are this is what is worrying you. You don't want to just jump for someone for you fear time isn't on your side, it would not be right for you are him.
You did not say one time if you Love him,are if he Loves you. I'm thinking this needs too Happen before kids. It's fine in my opinion. Love knows no age; that sort of thing. Communication is key regardless of the age of people in any relationship. Originally Posted by Kalerender. Nothing wrong with that. If he was "too young to understand" it would be wrong.
But he is 24 so i dont see the problem.
A 30 year old woman dating a 24 year old man?
I dated a 45 year old when I was 19 for almost 2 years. Originally Posted by Ron Burgundy. All times are GMT.

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.
Would a 24 year old man dating a 32 year old women be too much of an age difference?
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. She, on the other hand, never seemed to get over the age gap. Thus, we only lasted a couple of months. But, had she been OK with the gap as I was , the relationship may have lasted a good bit longer. TLDR - Age difference is only a problem if you think it is. My male fiance is younger than me, a lady! And honestly, it's normal to freak out about this stuff even if you are super-enlightened. I consider myself super-feminist, but still had this idea in my head that women don't date younger men, because they're less mature, and make worse relationships.

- dating someone a foot taller than you.
My fiance reminded me that we share the same cultural touch points. Y craze that lasted all of about five minutes? That said, while it's normal to worry about it briefly, if you stick with these concerns, it might mean that there are some lingering insecurities. I've done it at 30 and She was a little uncomfortable with the idea for the first month, worrying that maybe she was too old for me, but it turned out to be fine.
We just enjoyed the hell out of each other. Here's a good rule of thumb: Question any assumption that requires you to judge a woman negatively for being a woman and doing the same damn thing as you. In other words, either a five year age difference between consenting adults is creepy or it isn't.
The older party being a woman doesn't somehow make it wrong, that's a sexist double standard and it's bullshit.

Think of it this way: Does that sound like any kind of healthy or happy way to approach a relationship? Women are people, just like you. You've got plenty of good advice here so this is just a little story: She was 42 and he was 30 when they met at work.
They fell in love and were partners; they had two sons and raised them.
