What has been the biggest age difference between you and someone you have dated?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11 years.

[XemaSab]

1. 20 years

:D

[crim son]

81. Older, eighteen years.

Younger, five years.

[Kutjara]

2. 15 years younger and 17 years older.

My wife is 10.5 younger.

[blonndee]

3. 12 1/2. Now it wouldn't make much of a difference,

but at the time I was only 19 and very, very stupid. :dunce:

[Schema Thing]

4. 17 years

[Nikia]

5. 4 years

I started dating my husband when I was 19 though.

[Richard Steele]

6. Define "dated", please.

Cuz "dated" used to mean "dated"....
but these last few years, it seems to get
used as a euphemism for "had sex with".

Different.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. both, i figure if its a one night stand you probably dont remember/know the age

though i did ID a chick once.

[Richard Steele]

15. Alrighty then, I'm gonna go with "ten years".

BTW, just noticed your latest sigline. NICE! :thumbsup:

[Richard Steele]

35. Oh, P.S. : Ten years in both directions. One I dated, and one I "dated".

Both situations were, looking back, horrible mistakes.

I regret NOTHING.

[WindRavenX]

8. 6

My current relationship is the only one I've had where I've been the older one.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. 25 years.

[LostinVA]

25. She is NOT talking about me

[flvegan]

10. 10 years or so. Twice.

[hfojvt]

11. seven years younger and unknown number of years older

but I am going to guess it was more than 5.

[mockmonkey]

12. 24 years

It works for us.:-)

[S n o w b a l l]

13. In the last few years, 25 yrs younger....

...when I around 30, dated a man 25 yrs older.

[Wapsie B]

14. 20 years younger and older.

Age is merely a number to some. If the feeling's there it's there.

[LostinVA]

50. Bingo

It took me a while to realize that and get over some weird societal hang up, but you're right: if the feelings are there, that's all that matters.

[Wapsie B]

57. And for some of us

it can be hard to meet someone with whom those feelings are truly there. Or where we're open and aware and receptive to the vibes of others who may be compatible to us.

[LostinVA]

58. Yup -- I can honestly say that if we hadn't met on here

I wouldn't have given her the time of day because of her age.

Jesus. That would have been horrible.

[Wapsie B]

66. It's amazing how life can have nice suprises for us

if we're just willing to be ourselves. I look back on all the missed opportunities I've had and there are to many to count. Those are the regrets in life I've had to work hard to get over. Yes, to miss a connection like it appears that you two have would've been terrible.

I'm married to someone 14 years my senior. And I love his wisdom! My parents are very supportive, as they have 9+ years between them.

[Blue_In_AK]

[LadyoftheRabbits]

34. Only a year n/t

[idgiehkt]

but around 11 years.

younger, that is.

[S n o w b a l l]

40. lol...

dating is definitely stretching it for me too lately.

[deucemagnet]

37. 13 years younger.

I still wish that one had worked out, but there were much bigger issues than the age difference.

[Rhythm]

38. 13 years...

Oktoberain's the pretty young thing...

i'm the old geezer.

[BikeWriter]

I found myself a sugar daddy! :bounce:

[Ghost in the Machine]

43. 20 years younger (currently).... 13 years older.. (a few years ago)

Age is just a number. The biggest things you have to worry about with someone else is:

A.) Do have some common interests that you share and enjoy?

B.) Can you stand being around each other for more than a couple of hours? I.E. Do you actually like each other?

PEACE!

Ghost

[krispos42]

44. 5 years, about, either way

My ex was about 20 months behind me.

[Robeson]

45. 32 years....

...give or take a month or two.

[Nicole]

46. 12 years younger, 10 years older

Both were the perfect age for me at the time. :thumbsup:

[xchrom]

47. the same -- 11 years.

[MissHoneychurch]

48. 20 years

I was 23, he was 43.

[BlueIris]

49. 1 year (bfs were, with one exception, one year older than me). However,

I would now consider dating someone as old as 46. Mostly because there's a 46 year old I've known for a while who I could see myself with (at least once, that is).

[gmoney]

51. I'm 43, she's 27... (n/t)

[VelmaD]

52. just under 7 years...and it was a disaster

Everyone else has been within a couple of years of my age...I find if it gets more than about 5 years we don't have a lot in common in terms of cultural references and there usually just isn't that spark. :shrug:

The reallly weird part is most of the time I don't ask their age at first...but when I do, they always end up being within a couple of years of me.

[LostinVA]

54. Strangely enough, I have the most in common with the GF with the biggest age difference

As well as the biggest "spark."

And, that would be the current GF.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

56. Yep, I would have to agree.

[VelmaD]

60. everybody is different...

if we were all the same it would be boring and most of us would be redundant. :)

[LostinVA]

62. True!

[speedoo]

53. 20 years younger.

The age difference was not a problem, but other things were.

[GenDem]

55. I dated a guy that was 14 years older.

I was a teenager -- we had an art connection. It wasn't good for either one of us, but we remain friends.

My husband of 29 years today, is 6 years older.

Edit - it was actually 12 years

[ZombieNixon]

59. Nine months older,

five months younger. :P

[Omphaloskepsis]

61. If Dating == One night Stand..

10 years.. She was 19 and I was 29.

Serious relationship is like two years.

[Madrone]

63. Biggest gap was 28 years.

Almost all relationships in my life have had a gap of over 10 years. I am currently robbing the cradle with someone a mere *4 years* older than myself. :o

[ContraBass Black]

64. Six months

But then, I's a young'un.

[Downtown Hound]

65. 33 years

[Left Is Write]

67. 11 years. We met when I was 18 and he was 29.

[Crazy Dave]

68. 8 years older than me and was already a grandmother

I was 31 and she was 39. When I met her son and his wife for the first time and he asked my age, before I could even get a word out she said, "He's 35!"

[Anarcho-Socialist]

69. 14 years n/t

[Sisaruus]

[Broken_Hero]

74. 9 yrs

I was 19, she was 28.....

[BarenakedLady]

75. 9 years. Me being the elder. :) , 7 years, me being the younger. nt

[hunter]

76. 60 years or so, but really, nothing happened.

Even though I think she told her friends it did.

:blush:

I was a handsome young lad of twenty, and she needed someone's arm to hold.

She took me to some pretty amazing places.

I didn't take her money because it wouldn't be right.

She found another kid who would take money.

"Compensated dating..." is that what they call it? I always wondered...

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

77. Just a date

Me 22
Her 36

I thought she was about 10 years younger and she thought I was about 10 years older.

[Bassic]

78. I think 3 years was the most.

And it was usually two years, in either direction.

[Lowell]

79. Twenty two years

She was younger and it was strictly physical. Didn't last long. She was the aggressor.

[sniffa]

80. 86 years

it took me forever to dig her up.

[LostinVA]

85. Oh Gawd

[Ariana Celeste]

95. .

:rofl:

[av8rdave]

82. My first wife and I were 4 years apart

The old adage about getting married too young is true, btw. I was 23, she was 19.

[Phillycat]

83. 11 years - he was older. And 9 years - he was younger.

I like the young 'uns. :9

[Patiod]

84. 22 years

much older guy

Our 40 yo friend R is dating a 23 yo, and my SO asked "what does she see in him?"

I said "he's done whoring around. Guys her own age aren't into relationships (especially in NYC) and think they should be doing a different girl every night. The attractive ones treat women like shit. R was like that when he was in his 20s. At this point, though, he's not into running around, and wants a relationship, and THAT'S what she sees in him." Been there myself.

[GirlinContempt]

86. 17 years, I think.

[haf216]

87. Eight years younger

It did not work out well. It was when I was in my late twenties and we just wanted different things out of life at those ages.

[Rob H.]

88. 7 seems to be the magic number for me

I dated someone seven years younger some years back, and now I have a crush on someone seven years older.

[dropkickpa]

89. 14 years

I was 16, he was 30 (I lied and told him I was 18). It was okay, but I dumped him when he started getting weird. The youngest person I ever dated was only 2 years younger than me.

[LeftyMom]

90. THIS thread has a deleted subthread?

DUers. :eyes:

[El Fuego]

91. 20 years.

I was 25 and he was 45.

[Lumily]

We only went out twice.
