AlexMG Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I am talking dating a younger man next year or in December.Giving me time since my husband of 13 years passed away 2 weeks ago.I also turned 40 on the 2nd as well.Been doing my research and have done this in the past which didn't go well.I dated a 17 year old for a month that lied to me when I was 22,said he was 19 and told him it was over when he confessed that he was really 17.I know the cons and pros.I know there are good younger men out there that will be honest and treat me right.Taking my time and been getting advice from my friend Nicole as well whom turned 40 yesterday.She has a boyfriend that is 27 whom she started dating in August.Theirs is going well and he has been great to her so far.

snowboy91 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I'm sorry for your loss. I am getting the feeling that 2 weeks is way too soon, but hey, if you think you're ready then you do you. Do you mean you've got someone in mind and you want to ask him out? I'm curious as to why you specifically want to date a younger guy. Younger guys don't typically find older women attractive but it definitely does happen, so give it a shot and see how things go. If attraction is there, then the bigger problem a lot of couples with age gaps have is compatibility - you have very different levels of life experience and as a result your values and interests are likely to be different, and thus likely to be incompatible. This is why a lot, but definitely not all, relationships with large age gaps ultimately fail. Is there a reason why you don't want to date closer to your own age? Link to post Share on other sites

Chilli Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Lost your H 2wks ago and your on here talking younger guys already for December , wow is all l can say. And 27 is wayyyyy too young in a male for someone in their 40s in anything real or long term, give it time watch them implode. Link to post Share on other sites
snowcones Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Just in case you don't know, people are not going to take it well if you get into a relationship so soon after your husband passes. They won't be able to handle it for about a year. As for younger men, there are pros and cons. Link to post Share on other sites
Mysterio Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Why can't some of us, who have been in LTR wait and not be in such a rush to recouple themselves. Is it that hard. Link to post Share on other sites
