I recently turned 32 and I was fine with it, for about a week. Then I realized, that I am not where I intended my life being. Thought I would be married, or at least have some prospects, and soon be having kids. My career is finally on the correct path, and I have a beautiful home, but my personal life has been in shambles.
Most of the men my age are married, or getting their first divorce and very bitter. I don't know when I was supposed to go out and meet a guy. I spent years working day jobs and going to college at night, so my college was much different than most. There were no guys to meet there. And the ones that I did meet have moved out of state or are married.
I have also never really dated a guy close to my age. When I was 17, my first real love Jay was 23. At 22, I began a five-year relationship with someone that 36. I was actually closer to his kids age than I was to him. I often thought it was no big deal dating these older men. Besides, that was where my maturity level was at. Guys my age we acting way too young and I didn't want to waste my time on such a young guy, because I had my stuff together.
Now at 32, I'm not sure that I want to date an older guy anymore. I want to get married and have kids. Does someone in their 40's really want that. Most men in their 40's in Metro Detroit have kids that leaving that house. I also want to get married, and the men going through divorces are not looking for that either.
So where does that leave me? I've had a few young guys hitting on me, but what am I going to do with a 24 year old? At 16, someone at 23 seems to have a lot of money. Hell, at 32, I'm not broke, but I can't run out and do everything on my bucket list either. Plus, I'm beyond the club scene. I did that, 15 years ago! What do I have in common with someone younger than 25? Hell younger than 30 even.
Does age matter when you're dating someone? Are there any age limits that you won't touch?
