Won't you want to date someone around your age group so when you both age you'll age together?

Quality of relationship over age similarity. I'm not actively seeking age difference but I'd rather have an age gap and the best relationship possible, rather than settling for an "okay" relationship just to satisfy a want for as little an age gap as possible. And yes, even if that does imply that one of us will reach later stages of life before the other. Heck, one of us might die in a car accident tomorrow and the whole "aging together" thing will be moot.
