What is it Like to Date Someone 18 Years Older? I’m dating a man 18 years older than me. We have a lot in common and we get along really well. We did break up after 6 months because he felt bad about the age difference and was hesitant to meet my family. I felt there was no future then but after 4 months he came back with the confidence he was missing to work it out. I told my family, but they’re not fond of the age difference (my older brothers think it’s “disgusting”). My friends, while they originally approved are now skeptical since he was acting ‘strange’ about us before. A lot of people challenge me to imagine what it will be like when I’m 42 and he’s 60? My question to 40-something women is how comfortable would you be with that age difference, especially if you get along really well? Are older men just more appealing when you’re younger or is it a matter of being a young soul or an old soul and a good connection? I can’t see myself with somebody in their 20s at the moment. I’m finishing college and have a well-paying job lined up. I actually do stuff – I’m active in my field, I don’t party, and screwing around doesn’t appeal to me. I know I can have many more chances to meet somebody, but sometimes I doubt that I’ll meet somebody that I have this many things in common with again. I don’t want to stop just please those around me, so that they can welcome me to their gatherings, and not make me feel like an outcast. A: Dear 20-something. Don’t worry about your 40s… worry about now! The age difference is more pronounced in your 20s than in your 40s. Most 40-somethings will tell you that the age difference is much less an issue in your forties. You’re strong enough to know what you want, you don’t care what other people think as much and at that point your social circle will include a wide variety of ages. Somewhere in your 30s common interests prevail over common ages, particularly with so many people having children later. But your 20’s are a life-stage of much growth, change and getting to know yourself. It’s really now that you need to worry about. You do have so much to experience and as much as you’re more mature than your peers and you think you know who you are, you don’t, at least not well enough to commit to a man regardless of his age. You have some living to do. Even 40-something women who married the love of their lives in their early 20s wish they had waited. “ Even when you think you’re an old 20-something, you’re not. I thought that I was an old soul because I had a lot of bizarre life experiences at a young age that enabled me to grow early and I had to put myself through college. I was supporting myself so I had this sense of being forty when I was twenty. I got married at 24, by today’s standards… young. The main thing I would say now as a 40 year old is that I was incorrect. I was neither old enough to be making those decisions, wise enough or as mature as I thought.” – 40-something, Detroit, MI. I know women who married older men and are happy but we are generally talking in the 10-year range and with men who seem a bit more settled than your 39 year old. Then I know men who married the younger woman who thought she was mature. Case in point, a 23-year old woman who started her own business and felt wise beyond her years and a 38-year-old man. He had his party days and was established in his career and was all excited to play house…for real. But after 6 months, her business grew and with it more opportunities to play out in the real world. She got the bug and wanted to go out, he wanted to go home. It was a constant struggle. It was just a symptom of the different places they were in their lives and what they wanted. She didn’t think she wanted it but it’s a natural progression in your 20s. It doesn’t mean she wanted to party and screw around. She just wanted to explore and do more, more, more, rather than less. So two things I see happening to other women to watch out for.
