I was briefly involved with a man who was 37 last summer. That makes him 15years older than myself. At first I was amazed that someone his age would take interest in me. The sex was good, I can't lie about that. He was more experienced in just about everything. He looked to be about 31-32, dressed nice, had a new truck, a house and a seadoo. He took me out to nice dinners and movies. Eventually that all stopped and all he wanted to do was cuddle on the couch and watch movies. I wanted to go out with my friends to the bars and stay out late.
I never wanted a relationship with him. He was fun for the time being, but I felt that we were in two very different stages in our lives and it would never work out for us. Plus, I didn't feel that I could bring home a man that was 4 years younger than my dad. He was ready for marriage and I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do after college. He would lose patience with me and my inability to understand the hurt he felt from going through his divorce and I got tired of just sitting at his house watching movies all the time. I think two people with a large difference in age can have a lasting relationship, but both people have to have a lot of patience andunderstanding to make it work.
