3 years is not too big of a gap. You want your man to be mature, after all, and men mature at a slower rate than women do.

Look at it this way, when he's 40 you will be 37...and such an age difference is irrelevant. Age differences are only important if you make them so. Otherwise, what is far more important is the feelings each has for the other, the relative maturity of the couple and their mutual interests and common goals. As a rule of thumb, usually the man is older than the woman when they begin dating in their 20s and the age differences seem to be greater the older the couple is when they first meet.

Last time I checked, a man who is three years older than you are isn't old enough to be your daddy. In fact, you two are both legally consenting adults in the eyes of the law. You are free to get with anyone over the age of 18 that can put a smile on your face and there is nothing anyone can say nor do to stop the two of you. Once you are 18, there is no such thing as too old in the legal sense.

Three years is nothing. I am a 42 year old man who is dating a 27 year old woman. I am biologically old enough to be her father. I will admit that when my own mother introduce me to her, I was apprehensive about dating someone that significantly younger than I am. Not that I am afraid of what others think. Once again, me and her are legally consenting adults. My biggest concern is whether the two of us would have anything in common given our age differences. After all, once there are more than an 8-10 year age difference between both partners, potential generational issues could arise.

So far so good, me and her are still together and we have plenty in common given our age differences. Who knows what the future holds for us, but we still put smiles on each others faces. When we run into people who ***** about me dating someone so young and she dates someone so old, we tell them that they don't have to go home with us. We dig each other so the world can mind their own business.

Honestly the older you get the less it matters.

I'm 32 so my range is 25-38. I wouldn't turn anyone away that was 24 or 39 of course. It just depends on the person. At 21 my range was 18-26.

That's just me though. Love really doesn't know age.

My range is 2 years younger to 2 years older but I would make an exception if nessesary.

Age is not really an issue when it comes to dating. i find it wierd when the gap is too wide like 10..20!date him n see where it goes, if only you are up to it.
