Annie:

The thing about dating someone in their twenties is that they have not had a chance to live most of their life as an adult. You have.

I'm 26, and honestly, I would have issues dating a woman who was 29, much less 40.

Lots and lots of flings and scams happen in relationships with age differences. Here in the West, sooner or later they'll have bars themed after it. But it's all just for fun. Men his age do NOT consider relationships with women in their 40's.

I have to agree Lani, Iand I think that this isn't going to work out. Even you do look ok together, and I don't doubt you look young and are attractive, reality is reality, and they target older women who are looking for love.

Remember, annie, just about everyone on here thinks they have the real thing, that they have maybe of the few of these that works out. It just doesn't happen.

I know that's not what you want to hear, but that's how it goes. If it's messy, like you say, then it's just not worth the trouble.
