Have you ever fallen for someone much older than you?

It's not at all uncommon, Katran. I have spent a lot of time on dating sites (of a special interest type) over the past eight years, and although I don't seek out much younger women, a large number of them have approached me through those sites. I actually connected with three of them under 30, the youngest a 26 yo when I was 60, and she was with me and my primary girl (who is only 12 years my junior and still with me) for almost 12 months. I could give you a lot of justifications for the September/May relationship, which goes both ways: it's not just the older partner who gets benefit from it, the younger does too, but the benefits are just add-ons - the important point is that a significant proportion of people, not just women, are seriously attracted to older partners. If you do ever follow through, you will find that social pressure is the main difficulty, followed by generational interest differences. But if you're strong-minded enough to ignore the disapproval, and you can find enough common ground to be able to relate to your older partner (and vice versa), there's no reason why such a relationship cannot work long-term.

That has not happened to me yet. I had an ex-boyfriend who is one year younger than me and my current one is just 27 days younger than me. So far, I am always the older one. Crushes, maybe but it's only up to that level, nothing much. I just don't have interest or maybe it will not pass my way. I think what you are feeling is not weird. It may be just because they always get your attention.

hello katran, In my own opinion, it's okey to fall in love with someone much older than you for as long as he/she is not married. And that it's just fine for me to fall in love if the guy is much older than the woman. It's better to see than the other way around. So, as for your case it's just okey and perfect for as long as you're both in love to each other.

I have never fallen for someone who is older than me more than 5 years. In fact,five years gap for me is considered a big generation gap. I just cannot accept someone who is older than me more than five years. I always think that I will have huge communication problem with him. Now I am having a boyfriend who is elder than me 2 years,I think it's just nice for both of us. Lol. But in this case,you are not weird,I think just everyone has their own personal preference in choosing partner. Have a nice day!

Yup,my wife is older than me and our gap is 6 yrs,but it is not big deal my friend as long as you love each other "AGE DOESN'T MATTER".Hope you would agree with that.

i have fallen for someone much older than me before and the same has happend to me a 14 year old girl wouldnt leave me be no matter what i told her she just would get the message that i was to old for her it took a few months for me to be able to get her to get the message that she needed to be with someone her own age and the older women i fell for she was 45 and i was 20 at the time so it was only a few years ago and we was going to be with each other and then all of the sudden she just stoped talking with me so i went on and found the woman im with today but the older women did start talking with me again saying she was sorry for not saying anything to me for a year and that she wanted me and her to be with each other but i had to tell her she lost her chance with me

Fallen in love with someone older than me, never. The usual I got attracted to are those of my same age or younger than me. My wife for example is 4 years younger than me and we met at the office where we both got hired.

I think so, although I guess it was only an eight-year difference and that was back when I was in college. I was a college freshman and only 17 years old and I had a crush with my 25-year old history professor. That time, the eight-year difference seems to be so huge and I feel so young. The infatuation is quite strong that I think I even cried a little when the semester ended, I really thought I had fallen in love with him. I also think he is already too old then. Anyway, nothing happen between us since he is not the type who courts his students ( though he would flirt sometimes) and besides almost the whole class has a crush on him…too many competition I may say (lol). The infatuation fades shortly after the semester and i find it funny when I remember those days.

For myself the men I dated just got older and older. Now my partner of 12 years is 10 years older than I. So when we met I was 19 and he was 29. I am the youngest person in my circle of friends. I kinda like it as I can always be the young one and laugh at them. LOL Just kidding. I think it is because I got along with that age group more than my own or younger, however, I don't plan on it, it just happened that way.

i fell in love with a guy who was 8 years older than me although it ultimately didnt work out it wasnt the age difference that caused the problems

i have never been attracted to guys younger or same age as me. i dont know why but i have always been attracted to guys way older than me coz i think that they're more mature, more sexy, and more responsible. also, they know how to handle a relationship.

Hi buddies, I have fallen in college days two years older than me. When i will talk to my older one, i will think that iam feeling a crush with her she is so beautiful,fair looking and freely nature.When i feel talk to her i likes her talking,she is a more talkative.So, you?

Yes i have been.I have seen many of my friends saying the same.I think guys always get attracted to people who is older than himself.May be guys find them more mature and outgoing.

Hi friend, i personally was never attracted or have falled for someone who is older than me. Usually i fall for people who are younger or of same age as me. As for you, falling for someone who is 10, 20 or 30 years older than you is definitely a serious problem. I would suggest you not to fall in love with someone who is so much older than you, although they say age is not a problem in love, but it certainly will create many problems. happy lotting!

Can't say I have, no. I had one boyfriend that was 2 year younger than me. Most have been right at my age maybe a year older. Not that I would have anything against it. It just didn't happen. My hubby is a little over 4 months older than me. I don't think its weird.

No you are not weird and yes I have fallen for an older man. My partner is 12 years older than I am and I love him very much. I do not think that age is an issue as it is the person that matters, who they are and what they mean to you. I fell in love with a person, with his mind and his age did not concern me.

Hi there katran. I have had a crush when i was 18 with a woman that had a child and was 27 years old (turned 28 that year). It was intense and we kissed and hugged but in the end we broke up because we had other things that we had to concentrate on (in my case getting into college) and in her case finding a suitable daddy for her kid.

I was never atracted to someone older, in fact I was always saying that 5y tollerance is the highest I go. But as life usually turns totally different I fell in love with a man 12y older. And he's the best. You know what they say, soul has no age, the bodies age but the soul is always young and we do fall in love with the energy. I dont see anything wrong with that as long as you feel ok about this.

Oh yeah, one chick in particular has about a 2o+ year difference on me! She's fine though, man! We talked for awhile, but I don't think she could handle the fact that her son was older than me, he's about 7 years older than me! This was about 2 years ago. Wow, she's a nice one, xtra sexy at that age, unbelieveable!!!:) Ok, I'm done.... Taripre$

NO, i ever have a boyfriend about 10 years older than me! well, the gap seem a bit too much cos that time i was younger. In the end, I dump that OLD man! haha. now my hubby is just 4 yrs older than me, Anyway there is nothing wrong with him older than you as long you all get along in communicating.
