writes: I'm 34, single male, no kids. Through my workplace, I met a wonderful, caring, attractive, 21 year old woman. She'd been dating her boyfriend for two years, but recently stopped their relationship after she discovered he had cheated on her. Her and I had an innocent attraction for many months, so the time was perfect for us to hang out. I had the time of my life getting to know her. She's the most complete woman I've ever had the fortune to meet and we got along wonderfully. However, after five weeks, she went back to her ex (another issue). Prior to her decision to go back, we discussed our ages several times and we both agreed that we liked each other a lot as individuals, that out life stages were still the same (no kids, no marriages), so age really didn't seem like an issue. I guess I'm just wondering if the relationship could have worked long-term, or would our 13 year difference have doomed it anyway? Personally, I wouldn't have cared if she was 31, or 41. I know for certain she has more qualities of what I've been looking for in a woman than anyone I've ever met. So is this age difference just a number? Should I have been concerned long-term? If I'd be 60, she'd be 47. I'm just a bit confused about it. It sucks because I think might have found the last woman I'd ever want to find.

the age difference isn't a big deal. you can find someone better. the problem i have is those who go back to cheaters. that's almost like giving someone direct permission to walk all over you.

hey hun i dont think age diffrence would really matter, it sounds like she just needed someone to care about her intil she worked it out with her ex who cheated on her, she needed someone to lean on and get the courage to get bac with the cheater. honestly she is not the one you wanted to spend your time with because if she just used you then she is not worth it and i wouldnt be to worried about her, she used you and thats what you have to know it had nothing to do about not the age because if it did then she would have said something to you sooner about it!
