Does anyone agree with me on this?

Question

I am a mother of a 25 year old. She has never dated or had a boyfriend. I keep telling her to look for younger guys, as she insists on searching for 26-30 year olds. I personally dont think that men at that age go for a girl that young. I think she is not mature enough and i tell her that she should look for 20 year olds. She claims that she is mature but i personally dont think a 28/29 year old would go after someone her age group. She claims that she wants someone mature, and thinks that 20 year olds are not interested in serious relationships. She is very immature, as she has no dating experience.

what are your opinions?

Answer 1

Hi Funky,



It's easy to understand both sides of this - you want to protect her and she wants to spread her wings.



I believe that 26-30 year-old guys ARE interested in 25-year olds because most guys are interested in females of just about any age unless they're extremely young or extremely old. I can understand why your daughter isn't interested in someone who's 20 because I was never interested in men younger than myself - I always preferred men who were at least 3 years older. It's just one of those personal preferences.



I also understand your concern due to her lack of experience. She has a lot to learn about men and dating and she could easily get hurt; however, she could be hurt as easily by a 20-year old as by a 30-year old. It's obvious you love her very much and want her to be safe and happy, but you also have to let her do what she feels will work for her and enrich her life. If she dates someone who's a few years older, she may find that's what she wants and needs, or she may decide to go with younger men. She won't really know that until she tries.



Be as supportive as you can and let her know you respect her choice, even if you don't agree. If she knows you're on her side, she'll be willing to tell you if things go badly.



I wish you both well and hope you and your daughter keep the lines of communication open.

Answer 2

Her dating life is her business. The 26-30 year olds that she wants to date might not be as mature as you think because everyone is different and you don't even know them! Since she's never dated or had a boyfriend before, she should go out with whichever guy that she chooses. You should stop meddling and be there to support her decision as long as it is an appropriate one.

Answer 3

At 25, I think you should encourage her to go get a job and a small apt of her own and let her experience life on her own and you butt out of her business. It's time to cut the apron strings.
