I have been getting approached by a beautiful younger man from work who is 30 and I am 65, he is brilliant and attractive and seems to be interested in me. I am not the average 65yr old as many say I look about 40. should I give him a chance? Are many ladies here dating younger men or have you considered dating younger men before?

Yes, obviously so 😀

It's 5 months since the OP, so did anyone find out what happened, or was it just one of those "light touch-paper and retire" posts?

Well, if a young man made a play for me I would assume he had lost his glasses. And 'no' I can't imagine anything worse than dating an immature young man who probably still gets his mum to do his laundry, is bad enough being married to an immature older man who gets me to do his laundry.

Well said Babs

How lovely for you, OP. I feel quite envious.

But regretfully I have to suggest that if you feel the need to ask the advice of strangers on Gransnet before taking the proverbial plunge, then maybe such an adventure is not for you? I have to say that you come across as rather, er, gullible if you believe you look 25 years younger than your years on the sayso of others.

Maybe lock down your finances and hide your jewellery first, to be on the safe side, but then have a blast, as we oldies used to say? Who knows? Maybe a journalist might be interested in your story?

35 years difference, he could be your grandson? I think you need different glasses, he needs to get out more.

The late Alex Salmond married his wife Moira in 1980 ,”maybe 81” she was 17 years his senior and had been his boss at one time,
He got abuse for years online from eegits who called him a granny sh****r .According to Moira Alex was a wonderful husband for over 40 years .Age is just a number

Really? You might look 40 but do you have stamina of a 40 year old?

By asking if there are any others on here who date younger men or if they have considered it, it seems like you are unsure about this man, why is that?

he's trying to selfishly claim your pension! don't be fooled; younger men nowadays think it's trendy to date older women xx.

I wonder if she’ll come back BB? after all, it is half term week.

Withey Sat 26-Oct-24 22:00:29

Look for someone your own age

Freya5 Sat 19-Oct-24 11:41:39

Not on your nelly. Out for what he can get is my thinking.

Lovetopaint037 Sat 19-Oct-24 11:07:11

If this is real then I think he is just being friendly as he feels safe chatting with an older woman.

Bonnybanko Sat 19-Oct-24 07:21:27

Good luck to you have a fling see how it pans out, not everyone is as synical as some of these gnetters, some are really old fuddy duddies
it could be he really does fancy you, there are many successful relationships with older women and younger men, please just enjoy this period in time you’ll have a new lease of life I’m so happy for you❤️

BlueBelle Sat 19-Oct-24 07:16:26

Well as Millian hasn’t come back in 3 weeks I think it’s a joke ad we are just talking to ourselves 🤣🤣🤣

Angela59 Sat 19-Oct-24 05:51:12

All bar one of my dates/relationships have been with younger men since my divorce at 52 (now 63)
It can work but can be hard work if that makes sense, although that is a large age gap.
My advice go on a date and enjoy but please wait a looooooong time before the attraction becomes physical/intimate.

Silverfox99 Sat 12-Oct-24 22:34:39

I think it should be more about the connection than age because age is just a number .

hollysteers Mon 30-Sept-24 12:55:50

Admittedly that is a huge age gap, but I don’t personally think it’s impossible (if this is a genuine post).
I have a friend who is mainly attracted to older women, I’ve sometimes been surprised how old and there’s nothing strange about him.

One only has to look on the internet these days to see people have the most surprising tastes. Men who like really large women etc etc.
This world and its people have many curiosities which may seem strange to ‘normal’ folk.
