ok so i have nothing against age difference really.....well there are exceptions......and i'm probably going to come off sounding like a hypocrite to most of you, because my boyfriend is two years _younger_ than me.....
okay so what do i have a problem with then? the people who are my age (18) dating people who are my parents' age (40-ish). that's like dating your parents! GROSS!
even worse are the ones that date people as old as their grandparents just so they can get their money once they die! that's totally cold-hearted and disgusting. imagine the damage you're doing to the older person if they actually care for you, yet you just care about them dying. and what if they suddenly make a recovery and aren't going to die anymore like you thought, but live for several more years? then what? you're stuck pretending you love them, or you get a divorce and hurt the poor old person. Now, if you actually care about _them_ and not their money, that's a different story.
also, if you're both older, but there's an age difference, that's fine. you're adults (by far moreso than kids my age) . you know what you want, and you're mature enough to handle that difference at your age. example? my grandma and step-grandpa. they've been married for 18 years as of monday and are 15 years apart......and it's the second marriage for both of them.....
and i have a theory....i think dating younger people runs in my family......grandma and grandpa were several years apart (my grandpa died in february this year), grandma and step-grandpa (on my dad's side) are 15 years apart, my aunts and uncles (those that are married) are with people younger than them.....if only by a few months like my parents (my mom is two months older than my dad). My brother is "engaged" to a girl 3 years younger than him.....my sister was dating someone a couple of months younger than her, and as i said in the first bit, my boyfriend is two years younger than me.....
interesting how that happened too......i had a bad break up about two or three months before and didn't want to date anyone and at the time was planning on going out-of-state for college......i liked this younger guy, but didn't want to get into a relationship when i was going to be leaving at the end of the school year. We were talking online one night and he suddenly says to me something like "it's too bad you don't want to date, cuz you're definitely hot". it caught me off gaurd since he had never made it known that he had feelings for me. we talked more and he eventually convinced me that i should give him a try.....and we've been together ever since! lol and i'm only going to be about an hour away from where he lives, instead of halfway across the country....
okay so i got totally off subject there....sorry......but i think i've made my point.....someone my age dating someone as old as my parents is WRONG! that's all have on that subject, but i could definitely get into the whole gold-diggers and ambulance chasers! maybe in my next one......
