jimthzz Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I don't see the point. I mean, shouldn't they be concentrating on their inner strengths, launching and finishing a career, and buying a cat for company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermes Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 After the marathon here tonight (see other recent threads) I applaud you. You make a good point. Some should never date IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman777 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 shouldn't they be concentrating on their inner strengths, launching and finishing a career, and buying a cat for company? Some of us have already accomplished all that by 25 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermes Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The older you get the more you realise that you don't know as much as you thought you did. Problem with youth is that they think they know everything. Wrong. I waited until I was in my thirties till I got married (bad bad me!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudgie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm sure there are a LOT of fathers out there with teenage daughters that would agree with this thread wholeheartedly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willywagtail Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I agree - no dating before 50! Oh wait, have you seen the way in which many babyboomers date? Many of them are divorced by now (i know I'm one), and they are making ALL the same mistakes they made when they were free spirited hippies. Maybe we should outlaw dating until we're 70?

Hollyj Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 My ex was 53 years old. He was the most emotionally-stunted individual I have ever met. Age is not a factor, background is. Younger ones have less baggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger ones have less baggage funnily enough .... when I left emilys father I was 33 he was 23 ... and the next man I met was in his 40's , I have always gone younger , so this was new territory for me ..a man in his 40's , he must be so experienced and mature with relationships and behaviour ..that was what I had thought in my head ...dear god he turned out to be the biggest "swear word" and bully I HAD AND HAVE ever met .

Lucia Amman Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 My ex was 20 years older than me. Now 51. And he hasn't learned a thing in the ten years we were together. He sure is a sweet guy but he is very stubborn and always threw the 'I'm older than you so I should know better' card at me. Which drove me insane! And it still does.

mhowe Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I jumped the gun and started dating at 49. Glad I did!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_snapper Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I just told CJ that according to some people on the internet, it's best to wait until you're 50 to start dating and that I think we need to take a break. She agreed that it felt too soon and that be both need a couple more decades to get our lives sorted out. We're going to meet up again in 2036 on my 50th birthday and see how we feel. I'm just off to the rescue centre to pick up some cats. I'll just reverse the car in and ask them to fill it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
