I think that's a good point. It's pretty accepted that older men often want to date younger women. I imagine older women want the younger guys too by there is more discrimination against them. I was separated when I was 38 until 42 and dated for a while. It had been so long that it was a surprise to find how much contact I received from men in their 60's as opposed to men my own age. Apparently the 60 year old "geezers" rarely are interested in women their own age.

So I think its great that the OP is attracted to and interested in dating an older woman. Everyone has their own opinion on age differences but it doesn't matter since you two are the only ones involved. Why not just go out, have fun and see what happens?
