New Years Eve date
Yes I did go out on my New Years Eve date, and it was wonderful. I said before that I didn't think this guy would be one that I would be interested in dating, but I don't know now. We went out and talked for hours. I felt so comfortable being with him. Before I had only briefly talked with him at church so I didn't know him that well. I didn't know much about him before we went out on our new years eve date. So who knows we could end up being more than friends. He's a little older than me, but not by much. I'm 24 and he's 29, but its not a huge difference.

That's great!
I am so glad you went. My husband is 5 years older than me. The only problem with that age difference is that he feels bad when I rib him about it.
Kidding. I hope that things will work out for you. You never know. Keep us posted on this possible budding romance.

Ya never know!
I was also wondering about that "date" You just never know and I'm glad you are giving this a chance. Maybe the good ones aren't all taken.
As far as age, it WOULD matter if he were 20 and you were 15, but I think that age stops mattering into adulthood. Don't let age be a factor.
Enjoy!

age
I think age was the main reason I didn't think I should give this guy a chance. I haven't dated much at all, and the few dates I have gone on, I have only dated guys my age or maybe 1 year older. I guess I thought because of being 5 years younger and still being in college that he and I are just in different stages of life. He has been out of college for several years and working, but this guy seems like a nice guy and seems interested in me. He called me again tonight and we're going for a 2nd date on Saturday. So who knows where this could lead. Even if it doesn't lead to something romantic its always good to have guy friends.

5 years isn't much
I agree that 5 years is not that much. My husband is 4 years older and really we are of the same "generation" so except for perhaps our taste in music, we are pretty similar in our experiences. I think it is almost better to be with an older man. When I was younger and dated, I sometimes felt the men my age were rather immature. Now that might be more due to who I dated, than men in their late teens and early twenties in general, mind you!
I hope it goes well for you!

college guys
I agree its better to date older guys. I've found that I really do like guys in their late 20's. They just seem a lot more mature and ready for a serious relationship. I'm in college and my college has people of all ages. But the younger college guys who are younger than I am just seem so immature. They talk about going out and partying and drinking to get drunk(and binge drinking), and never seem to want to commit to a relationship. I may still be young, but I just really don't like the guys in their early 20's.
