I know the subject of age difference has come up a few times here. However, I'm curious. What would be your response when a much younger person tells you he/she is interested in getting to know you or having a relationship with you? Much younger, can be 15 or more years younger or half your age, or whatever you would consider to be much younger than you.

When that happens to me, my first thoughts would be that I would be messing up his life if we were to have a relationship. He has so much more life potential and future left ahead of him than a middle aged woman like me. He should be with his own kind and have fun and enjoy being young. I don't look my age so on many occasions younger people think I'm actually their age. And I would think, "I'm old enough to be your mother!!!". I mean, I do enjoy people of all ages (as long as they are of legal age) but these thoughts are always at the back of my mind.

My response is incredulity and a high degree of suspicion. I try not to let my overall cynicism on the subject of men in their 30's getting with women in their 50's interfere too much with my sloppy crush on Emmanuel Macron. But in real life I am most comfortable considering someone within 5 years of my age over or under. I don't want to be someone's sexy mom or someone's nurse. I aspire to be someone's equal and go through what's left of our lives together.

That will never enters my mind, I am grateful to the older ladies who taught me how to love and the young ones that I have love and all the others in between, I never forget them, love has no age, as long as you are willing to love and sometimes say goodbye, even when it hurts, love and be loved transcend age and sexsuality.

Run for the hills. She's obviously a gold-digger.
And.. linda would undoubtedly set Zorak the Wonder Dog on her.

Sure younger women are quite appealing but if I'm old enough to be their father I just can't see anything meaningful resulting. I yearn for a meaningful relationship!
