Kelli, it’s arguable that the only point of our existance here is to connect (in a healthy, loving way) with other people. You’re not old and he’s not young. If you two can connect, enjoy it, relish it, praise it, and savor it.
videotape it, if possible
Bassguy… You do have a way with words!!!
(Blush)
Hmm. I’ve dated guys up to 14 years older than me, starting with the 29 year old I dated when I was 16. I don’t see a problem here.
And he doesn’t live in a trailer and drive a 20 year old car? This could be an improvement…
No, keli, no. Don’t make such a terrible mistake.
What you actually need is a nice older man. Say about 55 or so, slightly overweight but cuddly…
Oh hell,
have fun.
Peace,
mangeorge (I blush too. 
)
He’s an adult…
He’s not spoken for…
Sounds like fair game to me. <grin>

(from the tone in your post, Kelli, I’d dare say he may be succeeding) <big grin>

I’ll have you know my car is only 15 years old!
Mangeorge - how you doin’?
Dewt - wouldnt that be something? If he was seducing me? If he is trying, its working - I have been thinking about him all weekend. 
After having just read the OP:
Go for it girl!! Don’t get hung up on the age factor. At the risk of sounding like a pretentious college student, it’s an arbitrary system and hardly indicative of the person in question.
After all, we’ve all met very mature 20 yo’s and absolutely moronic 30 somethings.
Trust your instincts and see him as a person not an age.
Have fun.
one more vote for go for it… and no DONTS yet I see…
when I was his age I was more attracted to older women too… my current ex/gf is 5 years older then me then again she is also much more immature then me… hence the ex fact.
((yeah I KNOW thats hard to believe but really… this is my immature escape, not my reality))
15? Well, that’s better, but I think cars should go about 10-12 years, to be still reliable, since its your only wheels. But hey, TWO 15 year old cars would be a good deal.
where as 2 15yr olds in a car would be both Immoral and Illegal…
D & R… 
You go for it Kells. I wouldn’t think twice about it.
kelli, kelli, kelli
DO IT!!
As many have said before, if the genders were switched, you think the man would care if the girl was only 20 or 21? Why should that matter to you? And just to boost you a little more, one of my best (ahem) experiences was when I was 21 in the AF and had a fling with the female bartender at the enlisted club who was 34. At the very least, he’ll have a great memory for later in life.
Oh, the things I learned from her . . .
Kelli, my husband is 11-1/2 years older than I am. We realized that we “clicked” not too long after we met (at work, BTW) – I was 21 and he was 32. We got married 2 years later and just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.
Don’t let age stand in your way! And don’t let other people’s comments get to you. When I told my mom about my new boyfriend, she asked if he was “cute.” (He’s closer to her age than to mine – but not by much.) And when hubby announced to his family that we were engaged, his niece (who, like most of his nieces & nephews, is older than me) made a “robbing the cradle” comment. I told him to tell her to be quiet, or I’d make her call me “Auntie.”
Go for it!
You’re 31 (so am I BTW) -gosh what a dilemma. Don’t kid us, you’re not asking, you’re e-salivating.
I am seven years older than my s.o., and I was ten years younger than both my ex-husbands. (not a good track record, huh, so if I ever offer any advice besides) Have fun! (ignore me)
Go for it. Absolutely. Without a doubt and without a second thought.
To hell with letting him think he’s seducing you. You could end up waiting till hell freezes over while he agonizes over the propriety of seducing you and worries whether he is dishonoring you in some manner by letting you know that he wants to sleep with you.
In seduction, timing is everything. Strike while the iron is hot. Move fast and make sure your intentions are crystal clear to him. Many potential affairs between older women and younger men go awry and turn into platonic friendships because the two people won’t move quickly. They’re afraid of compromising the honor or delicacy or social standing of the other person, so they talk around the issue until it’s too late and they’re locked into a friendship.
Move fast and push him hard. He’s an adult, he’s free and available, and he’s fair game. Don’t take “no” for an answer until you’ve made it absolutely clear what you want and you know that he has considered it fully. And even then, give him a chance or two to change his mind.
Don’t just sit around merely sending out signals that you would be interested. Signals are bad. Set up a situation that will clearly and unequivocally lead both of you to the bedroom. Or sit him down and tell him in as few words as possible exactly what you want. But in any case don’t toy with him or give him room to misinterpret your intent or whatever. You have an artificial obstacle in your way in the form of the age difference, and it’s potentially enough to derail the relationship if you let it get in the way. So you have to move that much more aggressively to make absolutely sure you get what you want.
I won’t get into the potential and possibilities for LTRs versus quick flings between a younger man and an older woman–that’s for you and him to work out. But the first thing you may want to openly discuss after you’ve had sex the first time is whether you both want the world to know that you’re in a relationship. Either of you might have some initial qualms about broadcasting the relationship to the world, families, and acquaintances. It’s silly, but that’s the way it is. Get the question out in the open, discuss it, and agree on how you want to handle it. That’s probably the best single thing you can do to give the relationship room to grow beyond that first seduction.
I’ve been to bed and in relationships with older women and younger woman. And a couple of them had way more than a ten year age difference. Both younger women and older women have their special delights. But the relationships with the older women were always much better and much more memorable.
Oh yeah, and in the bedroom, put that 10-year age disparity to work. By all means, use the opportunity to take the lead and do a few things with him that you might have felt uncomfortable doing with an older man. I’m sure it will be fine with your young fellow–he will likely be looking for a little help and guidance anyway.
But in any case, go for it. You will be doing the both of you a big, big favor.
I am 42. I broke up with my ex-wife about a year and a half ago. I began searching the internet for women shortly thereafter.
At that time, at least, there seemed to be a high percentage of late twenties divorced women. It was quite a turn on to me to meet a woman 10-15 years younger than me. I justified this to myself by saying that 27 is still a grown woman. I wouldn’t exactly be a child molester.
However, when I met my current wife, three years younger than me, I realized how much more satisfying a relationship is when you’re on the same page as your partner.
There are plenty of happy couples with great age differences, but when I read your message, it sounded like you thought he was “cute.” It didn’t sound like you would be equals. If you really think you could be a couple, go for it. If you are looking to prove you haven’t lost your looks, don’t even go there.
My experience? (Which doesn’t at all mean it would end up being your experience, mind you.)
You would notice the age difference if you ended up in a serious, committed, long-term relationship with the guy. A lot of growing up seems to occur between about 20 and 26, and it can be a hassle when one partner has already gone through that and the other one hasn’t.
HOWEVER … it doesn’t sound like a long-term relationship is what’s in the works here. In that case, I imagine it would be a blast for both of you.
So … coo-coo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson.
