Would you consider dating someone far younger if they were mature?

I considered it once. I wouldn’t consider it again. Maturity has nothing to do with it. It's more about an imbalance with regard to life experience. On the surface a relationship with a person who's far younger can be enjoyable for a short time. Though when it comes to a deep meaningful connection, which is what I strive for in a relationship, I like us to be more equal. This is just my own sentiment.

As indicated in my 18 - 170 age range answer to a recent and similar question, age is not an issue for me. I am far more concerned with how we connect. Connection tends to be easier with someone you have a lot in common with, and often that will be someone of similar age. But that doesn't mean that it can't happen with someone of any age, and if I was single I wouldn't disregard a possibility with someone just because of their age

My husband and I are just a shade under 2 years apart, but if we were 20 years apart and he was still the same person, I would still love him.

I have before and would again. I've also dated someone 6 years older than me which is just above my limit but I made an exception.

Honestly, I'd like to meet someone my own age or within five years older to seven years younger.

Sometimes I feel so alone... I'll take anyone who wants me.

I'm not that old but 20 is as young as I would date.

Do you consider 42 years 'far' younger?
