38. Out and about.

Working on our condo, planning a vacation (first one in 5 years), working out, and pretty much loving life.

Congrats on your grade, smartypants.

Say "hi" to your baby for me.

6. Seven years.

I was a minor, though, so those 7 years were problematic.

15. OK. Speaking in terms of romantic relationships (not flings), the greatest age disparity

was 11 years. We met when I was 18 and he was 29. We split for good when I was 22 and he was 33.

I am now married to a man who is eight years younger than I am.

11. She was 11 years older. I was 19 at the time....

And she was a hairdresser and part-time aerobics instructor.

My mom had a fit. Not because I was shtupping an older woman. Rather, because this woman was my MOM'S hairdresser!

Oh, I learned a LOT that summer!

Not a big difference.

25. Dunno,

never asked my last SO, or checked her driver's license, etc (past a point...). (She wasn't much younger than me; that's for sure.)

Where I knew, it was like maybe 2 or 3 years.

26. I think 14 years younger is about right. Could be 15

When I was 33, I dated a woman that was 19. I probably had a bunch that were close to that around that time frame as well - meaning when I was 32-33, I dated a lot of women in the 19-21 year old range. Not sure, though, I may have dated an 18 year old in there somewhere.

I dated one woman that was 6-7 years older, but most women were younger.

If he were still alive and we had remained married, today would have been our 27th anniversary.

and we've been married for 12 years. It only seems strange when I think about the fact that he started first grade the year I graduated from high school!

49. He was 20 years older

I was 25 and he was 45. The biggest problem for me was that he kept talking about his plan to retire while I continued to work and bring home the bacon. Like, "wouldn't it be great honey if I had dinner ready when you got home everyday?"

Are you kidding me? NO WAY!!!!

55. He was 17 yrs older.

He was a Vietnam Vet and had experienced some pretty rough shit. We were together about 3 yrs. We were very different in many key ways, the age difference wasn't that big of deal, at first, but it became more of an issue as time went on.

56. My prom date was 4 years older

My friend set me up with him, but we did not date after the prom, although he did send me a card for high school graduation.
As far as having an actual so, the greatest age difference was 2 years older. I met my husband who is 27 days younger when I was 19 so I did not have a lot of time to be dating people much younger or older than me.

60. When I was 22 I slept with a 50 year old woman.

But I really fucked up bad during sex and said something that makes me feel like absolute shit to this day: I was in her and we were going at it when suddenly I had regrets and said "maybe I don't want to do this...I think I was having a mother fixation."

There is nothing in my life since that I have felt worse about saying.
