If he's 29, closer to 30 and she's just into her 40s then see how it goes. Not all large gap relationships are doomed to fail. It depends on the people involved. Unfortunately, all I've seen are the creepy or crappy ones.
Just make sure he doesn't flirt with you. I hear that kind of thing can happen. :tongue: that was a joke, btw.
16 years is too much for me. 10 years is a large enough gap where maturity differences start to show. Sure, if people meet when they're older, then it's not that much of a difference. Maybe in their 30s and 40s or 50s.
On the opposite end, I wouldn't date an 18 or even 20 year old. There's hardly any age difference, but they are so immature and I don't want to date a child. Too much of a difference emotionally, life goals and maturity. People do a lot of changing and growing in their 20s.
As for the situation I know about...well, she's naive if she thinks a 21 year old, who she has only known for 3 months should be a father figure. And he sees her as nothing more than a desperate old lady. They're both pathetic for different reasons. She needs to stop thinking a boy will be like a man and he needs to stop treating her like easy action. Then again, I would think a woman closer to 40 would have more self respect and realise she's being used and referred to as 'a hump and dump'. I do not know why young guys refer to old ladies that way...it seems to be a university slang thing.
