Hi,

I am 35 female dating a 21 year old guy. I'v dated lots of guys twice his age who have not had my best interests at heart like this guy has. Yes it makes me feel very alive and young, but I also bring to him the wisdom of my experience and therefore we help each other along. I kept him at bay for over a year, fearing what society and friends would think. But then I realised that I actually didn't want to be with anyone else, even when the chances came up. We should be grateful that in the 21st century we can date whoever we want....if your friends don't like it they aren't really your friends.

I don't know about you but I want to be with a man I love, not just someone to have kids with.

Good luck

The highs of a woman in there 50s having a relationship with someone 35 or younger are:-

-They can make the woman feel young

-It can make the relationship be exciting and flattering

-The man likes it as women older than them and more experienced than women their own age

The lows are:-

-Some people can disapprove of relationships where the man is younger than the woman although this attitude is becoming less common

-Your partner/boyfriend may have to become your carer as you get older rather than the other way round

-You are in different life stages to one another. Whilst he has only just got his teeth into working you might be ready to retire

-If you have children they might find it hard to accept the fact that their mother is having a relationship with someone closer to their age

-Also with the child aspect you might become a grandmother whilst your partner is young

-If you ever want to have a baby your chances are slimmer than a woman his age

Hope these have helped.

My aunt is in her 50s and she had the time of her life with a 25yr old guy that kept hitting on her on their tour of Greece. She’s never seen him again, but she glows every time she talks about those two weeks!

aunty t agony auntI know of one woman in her 50's who left her husband after twenty years of marriage. She is now dating a guy in his late twenties and couldnt be happier. He has plenty of energy that her husband didnt have and treats her like a princess. Some men prefer the older woman and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that as is there nothing wrong with an older man and younger woman, even though for some unknown reason the latter seem to be accepted more by society. My advice is to you if it feels right and makes you happy go for it you only get one chance at this life so make the most of it.

Best of luck
