would you date people much older or younger than yourself?

My hubby is 5 years younger than me doesn't bother me. Usually an age gap doesn't bother me but when I was single I had a one night stand with a guy who was 14 years older than me. After he began comparing me to his ex girlfriend then wanted to date me long term. I thought we were on the same page - it was just the one night thing. When I turned him down for any sort of dating he began crying! Some may say I am mean but I was being honest with him, no point stringing him on. I was shocked at his immaturity. Age does not equal maturity
