I’m a 35 year old woman falling in love with a 23 year old guy. We are so similar in our ways of thinking, our core values, what we want from life, everything really and we seem to have a deep soul connection. At the moment we remain just friends and I have stated so many times that we can’t date as he is waaayyyy too young for me. But he won’t quit! I am very young in looks and personality for my age and he is wise and mature beyond his years. Yet, I still worry about what everyone would think of me and whether it has any hope of working out.

grow older. This post will argue why women are the main reason men enjoy staying single. The year old man is dating the under 35 year old woman.

I had a game I liked to play with this younger guy, a hilarious invention of my own called “Is He Dead? What, after all, had he done? A lot of us have found ourselves attracted to somebody younger or older, and have been reluctant to act on it because of some perceived weirdness or taboo. This kind of culling is even easier now that dating sites let us whittle our options down to the year. I contend that as long as nobody is being willfully creepy I see you, guys in Ferrari hats , this kind of limitation is mega lame.

I know many smoking-hot middle-aged people who are emotional teenagers. True, another factor is judgment from other people, who may see a year-old going to dinner with a year-old and make judgments about which one of them is drowning in student loan debt. Given the opportunity, your friends and strangers will judge you for being out with somebody who is too fat, too thin, to short, too Asian, too a stripper, whatever. It is up to you to be mutually happy with the person you date.

I learned this from experience, but also from Ludacris.
