All the more power to you bud. If she were a 35 yearr old also... she'd be drying out a lot sooner.

So far we have seen each other almost every day and she live 4 hour drive away.

I feel that everything is perfect, and the relationship feel more like a dream than reality. Things that I have read about in books/poetry, and thought that it doesn't happen in real life is now happening to me. I have put so much effort into this relationship than all of my previous relationships combine because I feel that this person is more than worth it.

Last week I was invited to her parent?s home and were shocked to be greeted by the entire family (it included a few extended members similar to the movie ?My Big Fat Greek Wedding?, and they are the friendliest people that I have ever met). We have only seen each other for 2.5 weeks and it seemed as if we have been dated for 2 years (her family were saying that we are so comfortable with each others that it seemed as if we have been dating for months).

This definitely spell the end of my life at ATOT, but I will be dropping in now and again to see how all of you great people are doing.

Thanks ATOT for many laughs and much trivial information.

So true, however I don't think this is a contest.

Haha..there's a point of view for you..lol
 

Looooooooooooooooooooord! Lowtech, are you okay? You hardly know someone and you're already concluding that this person is definitely worth it? I'm not saying it couldn't be true at the end, but give it space. You already declare that you have spent the most energy in this relationship? Uhmmm. . . . It's honeymoon, Lowtech! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it for a long time, for at least it's a good start. Some people don't have a good start in a relationship (e.g., family members reject them before even getting to know them), so have fun. :D Don't worry about AT folks. We all know everyone has a life to live. We too will move on when our time comes. Enjoy life, of course without too many or irreversible mistakes. :)

It's the difference in mentality. 25 year old male dating a 21 year old female doesn't sound bad at all, but when you hear about a 19 year old male going for a 15 year old girl, it bothers me. It's not only the age gap, but its the mental state or maturity of the people. As an older brother, I ache every time an older dude talks to my 16 year old sister (just turned).

Well I have dated a few women in my past & haven't met one that is anywhere as sweet a this person. She is extreamly considered and the family is the most civil, unpretentious, and nicest people that I have ever met. I have seen how concern they are toward each other and how they communicate with each others. I am usually very skeptical and reserve about people, but her family have something that I like & want to learn from, and be apart of.

I must be crazy as the girl that am dating describe, but for some reason I am drawn to her much more than others that I have dated. Physically she is not as attractive as the girls that I have dated in the past (models & actresses), but her personality is the most amazing that I have ever come across. There are minor faults that I use to dislike a lot such as procrastinate, but honestly I have met less than a handful of people that I believe to have good working ethic & time management, and they all seemed to be anal retentive (I have often being accuse of this myself).

I've always prefered men older than myself,never been into younger guys. I will tell you though that a huge gap in age can spell trouble down the road as the younger partner matures,sometimes interests change.My dude's 3 yrs older than I and he's much more compatiable with me than a dude 10 or more years my senior would be.

That is something I have though about, and I have made a few small accomodation on my part for her. Some of the changes I see it as something I need to change & others that I think it is a bit weird that I have to conform such as wear pants instead of short when I am out with her.

Dude...that is perfectly acceptable. Once girls have gotten out of their college stage (usually over by at least 23 or 24), then they know they are looking for a more mature kind of guy. As long as you guys share common interests, the age difference shouldn't be a problem at all.

Honestly, I used to care about age. And I still do care. However, I have no problem with a guy who's 10 years older, single, never married, looks young and has no kids. If he looks his age or older or has kids, then it's absolutely 'no'. If he's 15 or more years older than I, sorry but absolutely not.

Really though, personally I got tired of older men. They aren't any more mature than younger men, as you would expect. I like men my age group or slightly younger.

i think you are a 35 year old man

Yea man, I know what you mean. I'm 17, and my sister is 14. It kinda blows, cuz she looks old, so all of my friends will be like, damn that chick over there is hot. And then I tell them it's my sister....probably more embarassing for them tho!

Edit: I just realized how hard it is not to sound retarted in a thread
