Dating : Is age important?
I’m a 35F and chatting to a 30M who seems quite keen. I’m not sure why, but I am thinking I might be too old for him… Is that a stupid thing to think? Pretty sure you’ll all say it depends on how mature he is. He owns his house, which is a good sign. He’s only lived in one area his whole life though and I’ve lived in many and travelled a bit. Am I just overthinking this? We haven’t even met yet?! 🤦🏻♀️
Meet up and talk. You’ll find out if there’s a connection to be made there, but I wouldn’t think that 30 and 35 are so far apart in terms of goals and ambitions.
Yes you are attempting to analyze with insufficient facts. Go spend time with him, get facts and decide 🙂
Fwiw that age gap isn’t a big deal on its face but i agree with your points on relative maturity.
The older you get the less noticeable an age gap is. When you’re young, say in the 20-25 range a 5 year age gap is huge. There’s so much life that your partner will have either lived or not lived depending on who’s older. Later on, hitting towards mid thirties it’s not nearly so major. You guys have both hit the same life events, you’re past the majority of when growth occurs, I’d say go on a date and see what’s what.
I’m 46 and was dating a 36/37 year old. Don’t worry about age, just see if there is a connection 🙂 I think that’s more important than arbitrary numbers.
It is good to be aware of red flags but don’t look to create them. Five years isn’t a big deal.
You’re both in you’re 30s, his brain is most likely matured by now. You guys should be closer in maturity at this point.
You are.
I don’t think five years is a big deal…all that matters is the connection between you two and his level of maturity.
Just set up a first date to see if you guys even have chemistry.
