This right here. Hubby was older than me by about 20 years. We got along great. Had a great 21 year marriage. It'd be 26 years this year, if he hadn't passed away.

ETA: I prefer older guys personally.
The oranges of the island are like blazing fire
Amongst the emerald boughs
And the lemons are like the paleness of a lover
Who has spent the night crying.

I think what matters is that you can relate to one another. Age differences can be a problem for some couples but for others, not so much.

That said, I would not want to date someone old enough to be my father or young enough to be my child.

For some people being older or younger works. I personally wouldn’t go more than 2-3 yrs older and never younger.

It would ensure that I stay single if anything ever happened to him. I have zero desire to ever be with anyone else if something happened to my marriage. In all honesty, I don't know any single men to begin with so it wouldn't be an issue. Everyone I know is happily married. I certainly would not go for somone my mother's age since she is 70. No thank you.

As you said, as long as everyone is of legal age and on the same page why not?

You are really saying some odd replies today. If you suddenly found yourself in the dating world 4 months would be your limit? I mean really?

Why do you need to ensure you would stay single?? Of course a happily married woman thinks she would never date again if something happened but why do you need to ensure it?

In my lifetime I've dated much younger men and much older men (not at the same time). I agree, age is just a number and a preference.
