Dating an older woman

Bubblehead1980 · 09-01-13, 04:07 PM

Somewhat of a dilemma and may get a few chuckles esp since not one to air my business in this manner but my friends were not much help lol.Recently met a woman who has pretty much everything I have wanted except she's a bit older, not quite a decade but close to it.

I usually date women younger than me and have no intentions of getting married etc, it's just not my thing but there is a strong mutual attraction that has been confirmed, let's just say alcohol played a role as it so often does.We have went out a few times and been casual but there is more to it on both ends, I just have reservations due to the complications.This woman is beautiful(looks 25 not 35) no children, no ex drama, successful career etc .What is the down side? Well, the cougar smack talk is already getting old plus there are some age differences that comes into play as far as attitudes etc. Nearly all of her friends are older, married etc my friends are my age or younger, mostly single or just dating so have found melding two different worlds can be complicated.

Just wondering if anyone here has been in such a situation? How you handled it. Of course, I'll make the best decision as I see it but always interesting to hear views of others.
