I am 32 and I feel that I it is most likely that I will never agree to or feel comfortable dating a man more than 8-10 years older than me or 3-4 years younger than me. Ideally, I want someone between 30-35.

I cannot recall any sriptures to back up this life choice, but I am sure, many find it difficult to date certain persons, because their church family, blood family, or friends do not agree with it. So, in reality, that is God saying, sorry, you may be allowed to do what you want, when love really is there between the couple, but the opinions, thoughts, and faith of others is going to stop it from happening.

Reality of living in a sinful, fallen world, I guess?
Or your happiness/love life is more important than someone else's objections

I didn't want to insult you by giving you a prissy little girlie toy. :D Did I swing too far the other way?
Not at all...I usually chew on my steel chain.

Well, that counts me out.

Also...I feel the need to insert the obligatory reference to Seoulsearch attracting octogenarians....

You DESERVE to chew on a steel chain after a comment like that, Nuke!! Though of course, I figured you'd say something like that!! *GRRR!!!* :)

Did I tell you about the guy in his 50's (he was white) who wrote and told me he was interested in me because he had two Chinese children?

Um... as a friend pointed out... I'm not Chinese... but anyway... I keep hoping that someday, SOMEDAY, guys around my own age (give or take 7 years in either direction? I DO try to allow for SOME leeway... just not by DECADES!!!) might possibly be interested in dating me!

No, I didn't hear about that guy. What a winner. Maybe you could make up some kimchi eggrolls or something.

AND owns a McDonalds, AND loves the National Geographic channel, AND runs marathons...even being waay too picky, there's still quite a few guys out there who'd fit your list, Nod... If you give me their contact information, I'll be sure to offer my condolences.

If I have to put papers down, they're way too young. I prefer them to be pottytrained already. :)
LOL! Totally. :)

My preferred age range is between 24ish and 35ish. I definitely don't want anyone who's immature in a major way (hey, a little immaturity can be refreshing, in moderation. :). I don't want to be with someone who can't relate to me either, though (in a "get off my lawn, you stupid kids!" sort of way).

I don't truly care but I suppose God does and like mamared said, if you are in LOVE with someone half your age, it may be all purple hearts and pink balloons and green John Deere tractors, so to speak, until OTHERS become involved, like meeting the parents.


But, the Lord leads, is my favorite phrase and what God puts together we should not tear asunder. That person half your age may be God's perfect choice for you as you both realize called to missionary in Africa, or, go to same seminary or be doing same kind of lifework.

Just follow God is my best advice, along with pursuing a commitment to purity in your life, for that too, can erase the years between you. :)

Zero, I'm surprised at you. Now that's something I'd expect from Nuke or Nod.
What if I told you that Nuke and Nod are just the other two sides of my schizophrenic personality. Mwahahahaha!!

You do not understand how hard I am laughing right now.

That would be hilarious if someone actually had several CC accounts posing as different people. I bet there are some people who have been banned who have done that to get back on. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I prefer someone who is AT LEAST a smidgen more mature than me. some immaturity can be fun, but in general a guy has to be the mature one, a leader. I might not mind a year or two younger (but then theres the maturity to question) and then prob the oldest would be...12 years?

Actually, schizophrenia doesn't have anything to do with split personalities. The "split" part (schizo) refers to a fragmentation of one's sense of reality. DID (dissociative identity disorder, once termed "MPD" or multiple personality disorder) is split personalities.

Pretty common misconception, even among some professionals.

(That's my whole "mental health worker" side coming through. ;))

There may be some truth to this... I have talked with Zero, Nuke, and Nod... BUT, NEVER at the same time. COINCIDENCE??? I think not.

As for the frightening Anna Nic pic, I was so frustrated on the Christian dating sites that I actually state this in my profiles: "I am hoping to eliminate all the contact I get from men ages 50-85. I would hope that the only reason men this age are looking at my profile is because they have a nephew, son, or grandson that they want to introduce me to.

I have many hopes and dreams in this life but becoming the next Anna Nicole Smith is not one of them."

I believe what really works is half your age MINUS seven. ;)
