Age Barriers in Romance

I've never really had a set age range. Arbitrary age limits just seem silly to me (besides, of course, legality). The oldest person I dated was 8 and a half years older than me. The youngest was a year and a half younger.

More important than age, I think, is the sort of space you're in at that point in your life. If I were looking, I wouldn't be opposed to dating someone younger than me because they were younger, but more because they'd probably be still in a college mentality, and I've moved beyond that at this point. Hell, there are people older than me still in that mentality, and I would eliminate them for that reason as well.

As far as the upper limit goes...I've never been opposed to the idea of dating someone older, even significantly. As long as they're still reasonably attractive and able, I don't see the problem. But then I've not ever been in that sort of May-December relationship, so I don't know how it actually works out.

All that said, I've always had the best luck with someone right around my age.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
