Really i just wanted peoples opinions as I couldn't think of anyone in real life that had a sensible relationship with a younger man.... then i did remember that my dad was 5 years younger than my Mum
|
my dad was 17 years older than my mom. only marriage for both and for 38 years before my dad died. i think they did pretty well too altho they weren't very romantic. that was probably partly due to my dad's generation though.

For the time being we are "dating".... which I guess is the prelude to a realtionship. I said to him that if we are just dating does it mean i can still see other people.. and he said he guessed so...but that he didn't like the fact. He is happy just dating me. I am not sure that i will still see other guys.. something I need to think about along with the age difference and if it will play on my mind.

it might give you some good perspective to date various guys. shoot, it might just be fun too.

What is the difference between dating and a relationship?
Is it just a different lable? Why do things have to be labled?

i'll be interested to hear what others think. i don't know if everyone sees it the same or not. hmm...i think i see dating as the getting to know you stage with no firm commitment to be exclusive. i think relationships are usually exclusive and more serious than dating and they tend to lead to greater commitment. dating is more casual and in the moment and focused on fun without necessarily thinking about a future with the person. this is just me, but i don't really see anything less than 3 months being more than dating even if not seeing anyone else. that's my take but i'm sure others see it differently and that's cool.
i don't think we have to label things tho. if it's healthy and you're happy then that is really what matters.
