A male reader, doublejack United States +, writes (30 September 2011):

I have been in relationships with nearly that much of an age gap. I'm 35 now, but before my birthday I was 34 and dated two different women who were 22, and another that was 23. It varies based on the individual of course, but I personally feel that for many women their mid-20's are the point where they stop playing so many games.

So if it were me, I would have no reason to hesitate if a woman your age showed interest. The age gap isn't an issue as long as the two of you have some common ground. You living at home and still attending school aren't issues either, or at least they should not be to a confident, secure man. The woman I'm interested in right now is in fact just about done with her grad work, so she's still working on it. I view it as a positive thing! It shows she's motivated and has ambitions in life.

Best of luck!

So_Very_Confused agony auntit doesn't matter what OTHER men think, it only matters what you and your partner think.

it's 15 years... you're both adults, neither married to other people... go for it.

FWIW, my bf is 13 years younger than I am.
