32 year old going out with a 21 year old

I'm 32 & I see absolutely nothing wrong w/ dating a 21 year old. You're both adults and should have lots in common.
 
After spending enough time with her, you will soon realize that there is a dramatic difference in personality and life position between a 32-year-old and a 21-year-old. I'm not saying don't do it, but think of how much growing up we did during our early 20s. Have fun, but don't expect anything approaching serious commitment.

At 32, socially acceptable would be 23, but it should be close enough that you wont look creepy.

Screw society, they suck.

Do what makes you happy.
 
buy yourself one of those alarm clocks that has a camera in it. date 21 year old.

enjoy footage later
 
over analysis leads to paralysis

Correct, Just go with the flow you will never know until you try if you really like the girl go for it. Even some goofy relationships end up being serious and long term commitments. Don't over think it or presume things. Some times we get into this pattern of thinking that if we want to make a relationship serious we overdue things like thinking "oh this should be a serious thing so I will do this,do that or I have to buy her that I have to prove to her this, or She has to do this or that."

That will only put pressure to both of you.

I did not improve much emotionally from my early 20s although my sense of responsibilities did increase when I turned 28, I am so stagnant from 20 to 27.
 
Stop over-thinking it and take it one day at a time.
 
Lets see...32/2=16+7=23, so she's a little young, but wtf. I'd do it.
 
That age difference isn't so bad, TS. If she's really into you like you say she is, go for it.
 
Go for it.

But I can't help but chuckle at this-
"doesn't act like other girls in their early 20s"

Everyone tells themselves this to make themselves feel better. You're seeing what you want to see IMO. But no need to overthink this, she's legal. Just keep going out, get some, and don't take it too seriously.
 
im 30 and dating a girl just turned 22, seems pretty normal to me
 
Sounds like she is the only upside to your life at the moment. Why would you want to lose that?

I was dumped not so long ago and I've been depressed for awhile. I work in a grocery store and I was seeing this girl who was 23, but she had to move out of state. There's this other girl who works in a coffee shop inside the grocery. She's 21, EXTREMELY attractive, absolutely gorgeous with a fantastic body, but she's only 21. I'm looking for a serious relationship and this girl is into me. We went out last night and watched a movie. I had a good time with her and she wants to keep going out. She has already said shes attracted to me. But like I said, I want a serious relationship. We get along great, she's not immature at all. She has been on her own since she was 17 and doesn't act like other girls in their early 20s. I've been very depressed lately. I graduated with quite a bit of student debt and couldn't find a decent job. I'm barely making over minimum wage and this girl makes me feel alright.

The age difference is quite huge. Should I pursue to keep going out with this girl?
 
I was 37 (but a week before my 38th birthday) when my wife and I got married. She was 23 at the time. Things are great.

For the haters, yes I have pics:

Just tread lightly and keep yourself in reality.

22 is fairly young, immaturity is still likely to show itself.
