It wouldn’t work for me but I know long term couples with a 10 year gap
I’ve dated a guy 10 years older than me for a while. That was many moons ago, and one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made. I still cringe today whenever it should cross my mind. He was the most childish man I’ve ever met. I just feel sick thinking about him. ‘Nauseating’. He came from money and he was no good for anyone. Just yuck! 🤢

I'm more concerned about what you call the "push-pull thing". And what do you mean that you get along well enough?
My husband is 10 years older than me. Before him I've dated men that were twice my age. I have yet to have a healthy relationship, but the age factor might not have any connection to it.
Back to the "push-pull thing"- are you sure she's into you? Sometimes women are just being polite and like you as person, but don't feel anything romantic in that way.

@Unefilletrescurieuse I think it matters on where you are in age. Looking back at age difference between me and the guys I dated does make me a bit ill to think about it. I met my husband when I was 29 years old and he was 38 so I guess it wasn't the 10 years I thought it was, but close enough

It depends on the person. Women tend to have a maturity level 5 years senior to a man of the same age. So a 25 year old woman is equivalent to a 30 year old man maturity-wise.
As long as her maturity level is acceptable and she is older than 21, there's a possibility it can be successful.

I think the bigger issue is her doing the push pull thing and living far

Depends on the ages. 20 and 30 is a little sus. 30 and 40 really isn't. In the middle can be a bit iffy. Take it slow, if she's the younger one don't try to stop her from building her independence as things progress. A lot of what makes it questionable is the power imbalances. The younger person often isn't as established and doesn't have much to fall back on if things don't work which often leaves them feeling trapped

No, 10 years difference is not a big deal however, it also depends on your ages. an 18 yo girl with a 28 yo guy might raise a few eyebrows. A 25 yo girl and a 35 yo guy, not so much. Seems the older you two get, the more acceptable it will be.
My wife and I have an 8 year age difference and have never had a problem.

@IM5688 I believe that’s true as well.

Her age mostly matters for level of purity and lifetime of health viability

I would think you’d need to live together to see if it would work. I was in a relationship with a larger age gap, and it worked for a year. It was nice too, but we never discussed marriage.
The push-pull would be a "No" from me... I'm not into playing games.
18 and 28 nope but 24 and 34 is fine so depends but the oh shes mature for her age 21 and under is BS no matter what and that guy is a creep
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
It sort of depends on who is older. In which case, the main issue may be more the distance more than the age gap.
Also depends on how serious you want to take things, but my pair bonding ability is really messed up at this point, so... I dunno.
Oh, I just read the push-pull part again. I wouldn't get attached at all because of that. Definitely don't go out of your way.
Don't want to be wasting much time, sanity and energy on someone who can take you or leave you on a whim. Life is very short these days.

Not really an issue for the most part, but some may present themselves down the line if things progress in terms of where you are mentally, emotionally etc
My partner and I have a gap like that but thankfully also have quite a lot in common as well so it depends 🤷🏾

idk how old is the younger person? the older one is the less ten years matters imo as long as they are over 30 who cares?
GohantheThird · M
@GoFish late twenties, so close enough that it would be appropriate.
