I haven't. And if for instance I'm still single and would be courted by a younger guy, I would not be interested because I don't feel comfortable with it. He will look like my younger brother. I would want a man, not a boy. Although he may be a little less than 30 years old (because that's my age) I would feel he's just a boy next to me. I was thinking of marrying a guy who was a year or two years older when I was still single. See what I got, my husband is 9 years older than me; so, when it rains, it pours.

I am not comfortable with dating (when I was single as well as now, ahhah) younger men. Though I may have found some attractive, kind, and intelligent... it was just too awkward, I always would feel like I have to mother them or something.

It is proper for the women to date men older than them and the men women younger than them

I dated two guys (not at the same time of course) who where younger than me, one was two years younger and one was three years younger. I found one of them was too over possessive and the other one just did not want to commit. He was fond of standing me up as well. So them realtionships didn't last very long. But my sister did date someone 5 years younger than her they ended up getting married and had a child together, that lasted 13 years, so sometimes it does work out.

I think I may have had a boyfriend that was younger than me when we were in grade school. I have never dated anyone younger than I am though. I have always liked older guys. I dated a few guys my age but they were too immature for me. My now husband, is 15 years older than I am and we have a great relationship.

I don't date anyone younger them me as a rule because my nephew is only 5 years younger then me and I always thought of it as dating one of his friends and to me that was just not a good thought at all. I tend to go towards men that are older then me as well.

I not only dated a man who was 5 years younger than me, I also married him and we have been together now for nearly 9 years. It is not a problem, if he was ten years younger than me then I would not have gone near him. If we were to split up and I met someone else then I would want them to be older.

It's always part of my requirement the age! LOL, I am always attracted to a man older than me and in the past I can say I never dated anyone younger! I am very mature in thinking and I love also to be with someone whose level of thinking is the same as mine!

Well, I am a year old than my boyfriend but other than that, I have never dated anyone who is really younger than me because I look at them as my brother and cousins as well since I have tons of cousins who are really younger than me.

I have dated people younger than me but not more than a year younger. Since I am born in September, I am one of the oldest in my academic year and therefore interact the most with people in that year and since I am one of the oldest most other people are younger. I have dated a few people that are older, but they have been no more than a year older.
