The Age Gap
Are you a person who believes that age range is important when it comes to dating? I certainly am. It’s not that I don’t think that consenting adults of any age can’t be friends . . . or more. It’s just that I think for me, a serious relationship needs a meeting of more than the mind and body. It’s about sharing the experience of life together. That means traveling through the years in a similar orbit.
Huge age gaps mean that someone has already been through a number of life’s moments that seem like they should be experienced together. Maybe it could be the experience of finishing school, getting out into the work force, buying a home, having a child or getting married. Ideally, this is what I want my life to be about. Having said this, I know that I’ll probably end up with someone twice my age or some young temptress, but when it comes to the ideal picture in my head, age somehow seems to matter.

An extremely rewarding experience for me when I met a wonderful woman. She is 8 years older than me, though there are many age differences between us, we enjoy the age gap relationship. What I want to say is not age that matters but rather spiritual, emotional and mental compatibility between two people.The maturity of two people is important in a relationship, regardless of their age. Maturity does not always relate to age either. A young person can be more mature in attitude than an older person for that matter. It is important to share interests and values and to be on the same wavelength as each other. When two people really connect and love each other in a genuine way, age does not matter.
