My boyfriend (hopefully hubby someday) is 8 years older than me. I got out of a relationship with a guy who was almost 3 years older than me and he was soooo immature, when i started dating again, I tried 'boys' my age (27 - 32, I was 29 at the time) and they were all just sooo LOST in this world. Living at home still, no ambitions, had crazy emotional baggage, partyers and drinkers big time..... I just couldn't do it. I have my own home and good job and new car and take care of myself. SSSoooo I dated this guy who was 15 years older than me, but he was too old for me (mentally I think) and now Im dating a guy 8 years older than me and its working out perfect! I never even realize the age difference. We get along sooo well, we were raised the same by our parents, we are in the same place in life, he is fun to be with, can keep going long after I fall asleep. I am mature for my age but I still like to have fun and be on the go all the time, he is exactly like that with me! He is going to be 40 next month, and Im going to be 32 in Nov.
Even funnier, almost all my friends married guys younger than them from a year to like 3 years younger.
