I need advice from women 22+!!?

I am 24F and have recently tried this ';internet dating'; concept. I have recentely started chatting with this really great guy, we have been corresponding by email over the last couple of weeks, as well as chatting on MSN. I have been having such a great time chatting with him I never bothered to ask his age. Well to my great surprise he won't be 22 until January!!! I've always dated older men and this seems kind of strange to me. Is it acceptable for a 24 year old woman to date an almost 2.5 year younger man? From what I understand he is mature, knows what he wants out of life and is working towards obtaining his goals, which is more than I can say for some of the older men I know. I guess the question is...............would you date a younger man?I need advice from women 22+!!?
I dont see anything wrong with dating a younger man, as long as there are limits to the age difference(not 18 or younger)





If his maturity level is good with you, he treats you good, makes you laugh, has a job, and is an all and all decent guy I dont see anything wrong with it.





PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ALOT OF THE ONLINE DATERS DO LIE. SO PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE IN CYBERSPACE!!!!!I need advice from women 22+!!?
I am married to one 3 years later we are still going great. Although he isnt that much younger than me. Dont worry about the age difference as long as you two are both comfy with it.
I think you are foolish to believe anything a guy says on the net.Iether he wants sex or someone to boost his small ego.But i cuold be wrong, mabe he is younger not by much. But take a risk and be careful.
I've dated a guy that was almost 2 years younger than me and here's what I learned. It's ok to try anything once, we should never judge anyone by their age, and it's always better when you both can at least drink or go to bars. That does make a difference. So, you're of a mature social status and you think you might really like him so go for it.
Yeah I would. Actually I have and they've actually been as or even more mature than the one my age or older. I don't think age is a problem unless they're under the age of 18. If you and this guy are so into eachother age should NOT matter. Its ok. I dated a guy that was 4 years younger than me and that was never a problem.
age is only a number, maturity is the key here. I am almost 28 and I'm dating a guy who just turned 24. I am happier with him than with anyone I've ever been with %26amp; I like older guys too. He's very mature %26amp; it makes a difference. It will seem a little weird at first put it passes rather quickly. Go for it!
I would try it out, and see what happens. Just b/c he is younger than you doesn't mean that he isn't ready for the same things that you are. Guys that are a few years older could still not be ready for a real relationship, or even know what they want outta life. Sounds like a good catch to me. As long as he makes you smile, age shouldn't matter in this case, it's only 2.5 years.
My dear, he is still your contemporary. He is the same age my husband and I were when we got married. Like you I always dated older men(10+yrs my senior), but low and behold a man my age interested me.





Age is not so big a deal when you are an adult. People don't really start to blink at age differences until around 15-20 years plus or minus. And even if they do blink, who cares! Its your life, live it.
I'm 25, and I don't see anything wrong with that age difference at all. I'm married, but I think if I wasn't I would date a man younger than me. It's more important how he acts than the number. Go for it!
Honey unless he is jail bait (under 18) dont worry about it. My mother married a guy 22 years younger! It is old fashioned to think the man has to be older - women live longer then men and stay active longer so it just makes good sense to marry a man younger.


Sounds like it is time to have a telephone call together and see if he sounds as mature as you describe. Good luck!!


Peace
As long as he's over 18, he is legal. The next thing you'll have to worry about is if he's responsible/ his maturity.
I would go for it but just take it slow don't rush into anything. when chatting with a person on-line you never no if they are being 100% honest.
I was a bit worried about dating my bf...he is 5 years younger than me...33 and 28. We met online too and it has been great. 9 months strong. Go for it and have fun!
i'm a guy, so i'm sorry for answering here:)





I'm 26 years old, and dating a woman that's 30... we are both fine with this... we love each other...





we even want to have kids together...





it's all good...
If you match each other as well as you say, and you enjoy his company as much as you do, as long as he's ';legal';, why do you care how old he is? What's 2.5 years? It's not like you're 14 and he's 11.5. Understand? go for it.
age does not matter!
of course, you should not consider age as a factor to limit your happiness. but you should wait until you meet the person to decide their maturity. sometimes people write or talk a better game than they really have.
Relationships are about connection, not age :) I would definately date a guy who was two years younger than me-- if he was at my maturity level. Plus I know plenty of older women with younger men (my aunt and uncle, for example) who've had happy dating and married lives together. If he's a good guy and you know for sure that he is who he says he is, go for it! ;)
I don't date younger men because of their maturity level. BUT if he seems to have it all together then go for it (be advised that you can only tell so much by chatting on the Internet) Good Luck To You Honey...
below 25 is usually problem-but you have none so don't worry bout it.


plus-i quit asking age cause then i have to say, and that sux.


good deal on the internet dating-i won't try again-few friends do and i prefer old way.
I PERSONALLY FOUND THAT YOUNGER MEN WANT A MOTHER FIGURE, BUT YOU ARE A YOUNG PERSON AND IT MIGHT WORK FOR YOU. FROM THE WAY IT SOUNDS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME TALKING TO HIM AND YOU GET ALONG BUT HAVE YOU MET HIM IN PERSON? OVER THE INTERNET ALOT OF PEOPLE TELL YOU THINGS THAT ARENT TRUE JUST SO YOU WILL TALK TO THEM. MAYBE HE IS NOT AS MATURE AS YOU THINK AND DOESNT HAVE HIS GOALS SET FOR HIM I WOULD DO MORE INVESTIGATING BEFORE GETTING INTO A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP. AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL ON THE INTERNET..
Sure, I would date someone younger. Your age difference isn't that far apart...
go for it
Nothing is wrong with dating a younger man. As long as he is of legal age it is fine. Age does not matter when it comes to matters of the heart..
I dont see anything wrong with it.
You are in the same age group! Nothing wrong with dating a guy younger than yourself as long as he is legal. He can get into a club!!!! He can legally drink. Etc.....
IT IS OKAY TO DATE A YOUNGER MAN BUT I WONT HONEY MY BABY IS OLDER THAN ME AND HE KNOWS JUST WHAT TO SAY TO PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE KNOW YOUNGER MAN CAN DO THAT
absolutely. Just set your priorities straight and don't let a relationship dictate the outcome of those priorities you have set for yourself.
