Courting someone 10 years your junior

**_Cathy_** · January 2nd, 2009 12:27 AM

My Mom always tells me that she prefers for me to date a guy 10 years older than I am.

I do like older guys 'coz they are more patient and I learn a lot from them.

Younger or older, doesn't really matter. As long as the fruit is still fresh, why not

i had a bad experience with a May-Dec relationship. iba yung pananaw namin sa buhay e.

anyway, i read somewhere that these relationships do work, but it depends on the ages of the persons involved, lalo na yng younger.

Maybe I'm the only young guy here. And I wouldn't date a 9-year old girl or a 19-year old girl 10 years later. Personally, I laugh at my PDF friends. hehehe...
