I'm single and I think quite a bit older than you, priorities change when you meet people you like after awhile.

We're almost the same age.

I can't imagine driving 40 miles for anyone barring a celebrity or a 10 that wanted to shag, guaranteed.

The farthest I've gone is about 20 and usually I look for girls within 15 miles.

Like I said, we look for different things, like you said you don't even want a relationship.

Her and I click very well so much so that it doesn't bother me that she has kids, I doubt you'd be thinking that.

Didn't you say not that long ago you had no desire to put in the work for a relationship?

In the end what's important is this is the first woman I've really liked in quite a long time.

That's great.

Hope it goes well for you.

Also, the older you get, the harder it is to find someone you can connect with that isn't already taken. Sometimes, they're not so close. I think that's why Clay goes for the near teenagers. Probably why guys I like tend to be younger. They're what's available.

I don't remember saying that. I said I'd be a horrible boyfriend. At this point I'm willing to see just how awful a boyfriend I might be. This entire dating thing, since last August, is mostly about personal growth. I'm just in it to get the experience mostly. I have lost time to make up for. If something happens along the way, great.

I have only been out with three girls who were under 20. The rest were all 22+ and one was 30.

Oh...of course one was 39...bless that woman.

This one is the same age as me which I think is pretty good. We like the same music...she likes my hair.

I don't think she likes sports much but that isn't an issue at all to me.

I have a friend who is almost 28. He's had 3 girlfriends over the last 7 years with probably a period of about a year of being single. None of the girlfriends have been over 22.

I've always wondered if he had a case of arrested development.

Spot on. I miss how easy this was in my 20s...

Yeah, that's rough.

I'm currently in a long distance relationship. She lives about 100 miles away from me but is on a work assignment that runs through next year that has her even further away (~250 miles). We spend every weekend together either at my place, her current location or meet in the middle at her permanent place.

Sometimes getting through Monday - Thursday can be difficult and the 1 weekend a month dedicated to class is especially tough.

However, if it's the right person it'll work itself out. It's kind of strange, but I have quite a few friends who now are either in long distance relationships or were in them for 1-2 years before they moved to the same city.

Good luck.

I had a manager at a high school job who was in his mid to late 30s, and he didn't date anyone over 20 (and I heard plenty of stuff about what happened behind closed doors with the ~17 year old girls at work).... I once heard him say "she'll be gone soon, because she's gettin' too old" when talking about his gf, who I think was 18, and was living with him at the time.

In some ways I know how to handle children, Growing up I was much older than my sister and brother, when I was 20 my sister was 10 and my brother was 8.

So your sister is 19 now, that's cool.
