Dating younger men

I'm a guy (35). A very close female friend (57) of mine has been hinting that she wants a relationship with me.

PS. Office relationships are a definite no no!

Some younger men do find older women attractive. I think k many feel the older woman will be more sexually confident and not make the same demands as a young woman. It’s highly unlikely that this could lead to a long term relationship. I’m not as cynical as some here but most younger men want children at some point. It feels like he would have the fun and ultimately you would get hurt. Look after yourself.

Why should the sex be better because he's younger?.

Lasts longer but less skills.

But ends in tears.

I am not the average 65yr old as many say I look about 40

Goodness! Fancy posting that on a site aimed at older women and expecting them to be supportive 😯

What is the average 65yr old supposed to look like?
An old crone?

They say that one is born every day, that accounts for one day in 1960.

The romantic in me believes that true love doesn't see age, but I don't know what you're looking for or what you want and need out of this. Are you looking for someone to boost your ego or an actual relationship?
I haven't dated a younger man before and don't have any experience of this situation, but good luck and please look after yourself.

Well I m guessing this was a txxxx and so many are investing time and trouble to answer

really?

I suspect Mummy issues.

Don't be surprised if his bedroom needs involve a story, nappy, dummy.

Some quite judgemental comments on this one. Society doesn't like women dating younger men, but they are fine with older men dating much younger women. If you had a relationship with this man though it could prove difficult as you are both in the same workplace.
I once worked in a female dominated organisation and witnessed the fallout of one such relationship. Women collectively can be extremely unkind and jealous. Interestingly we did have a couple of gay men working there who talked a lot about their many partners, but no one gossiped about them. There are actually a lot of issues with dating older men in my experience, they are often looking for a 'nurse or a purse'. Live and let live I say and in these days of equality let's get rid of this taboo.

TBH I’d rather have a dog, but then I’m a Very Old Bag.

Absolutely... age is just one part of the story, not the whole picture. If he’s respectful, mature, and genuinely interested in you for who you are, then why not stay open to it? There are plenty of women who date younger men and have amazing, fulfilling relationships. The key is how you feel around him - seen, valued, comfortable. If the connection is real and mutual, age becomes just a number. Trust your gut and enjoy the attention - you clearly still have it!

Agree with Grannynannywanny. No big deal, it may be a wonderful experience for you. I had dated man about 10 years younger than me, but now I only date man in my own age group on www.singlesover60.org.

Girl that man will take your money when you die.
I ain't saying he a gold digger...but do some serious re-evaluation mhmmmm.

If the poster is genuine, and I doubt it since she/he hasn't come back, I suspect she is reading something into office banter that really isn't there.

When I think I don't look my age, I go and get my reading glasses, and look again....

Why would a 19 year old be on Gransnet?

Bored, half term.

Go for it. At least you will have good sex. Don’t expect it to last, but who knows?

Lori, that is 13 years age difference not 35 years. Poster has obviously found out whether it works or not. It must get worrying when you date someone who is the same age as your grandson.

I'm 19 and my boyfriend is soon to be 32.
