Concerning age difference, my ex and all boyfriends were about 8-9 years older and this was a mistake from me. When person is younger such age difference maybe doesn't matter, as young people don't think much. Right now I think that age difference of not more than 3 years would be the best for me. When I was younger in my 20's I had a couple of dates with men who were 18-20 years older and understood it was not for me because first such men don't treat a woman seriously because they think they are much older and wiser and start teaching me life so to say or think I should follow their directions and live the way they think I should. This happened also with men who were about 8-9 years older as well. I don't need that, really.
