I've been neglecting Xanga very badly. This could mean that this won't be read. But let me throw something out there and see if anyone sees it.
How much does age matter in romantic relationships and eventually marriage? I mean in relation to the age of each other. I've always had a rather arbitrary thought in my head that I'd date someone up to 10 years older. I've never done that though. When I was 20 and thought a 30 yr old was hitting on me, it creeped me out. But what about now at 28? 38 looks old on paper, but when I relate the age to people I know, it doesn't feel so old. Thinking about dating a guy nearing 40 just reminds me how close I am to 30.
What if I started dating someone, and finally took him back home to FL, and people looked at him and said, "But he's old!"
Since I look younger then I am, I'm just imagining how I'd look with an older guy. He'd look like a cradle robber! LOL But as far as how an older man behaves, I'm all about that. Grown up, real job, some sense of who he is, maybe a house already. An older single guy has the downside of being all bachelorish and set in his ways. But he also knows how to manage all areas of his life. He can cook and clean and take care of himself. And will appreciate being taken care of instead of just expecting it since he just moved out of mom's place.
I don't know. Plus, further you get from college, the less people talk about age. Si I don't actually know how old some of the guys are that I know. So if things are all green light, then I find out he's a few years older then I thought, does it matter?

In the long run I don't think age matters. .Well I find it creepy when a 50 yr old dates an 18 year old...but that's a different situation. It's weird in high school and earlier in college but then all the it all fades. There are a lot of people who we know who have married someone much older (jeff and kathy behnke...annie and mike halenbeck). You aren't out looking for an age...you are out looking for a person. Age just comes with him. =)
