I'm guessing it is our Puritan heritage that for some reason makes some of us judge this way.<br /><br />Having been in Tom's place I can say that most people will accept it after a while... just gotta hold your ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10095069.post-1110139090061887842005-03-06T14:58:00.000-05:002005-03-06T14:58:00.000-05:00Whoever "anonymous" is should choke on his/her ton...Whoever "anonymous" is should choke on his/her tongue.

The first time I dated a man that was 12 years older than me (I've dated more than one guy that was 12 years older than me)it was a really big issue for me. But I guess my problem was the opposite of yours...he wanted to settle down and I wanted to travel and live a little more. And trust me, people (friends, family, strangers) thought it was very strange and I was constantly justifying our relationship. <br /><br />Oh, and I'm totally with you on the naughty appeal and I don't think I could go back to dating men/boys my own age (it makes me cringe just thinking about it). <br /><br />Of the three men I've dated who were 12 years older than me, all wanted completely different things. One wanted to settle down, one wanted a casual relationship and the one I'm with right now just wants to take things as they come. So I agree that age is not the issue here. <br /><br />I totally agree with everything you've said. Sorry for writing such a long comment (I could go on forever).<br /><br />Thanks, I really enjoyed this.Bryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346075637375534067noreply@blogger.com
