text: yes... I haev been the older woman, and the younger woman... as long as your maturity level is about the same and You have the similar goals, morals, and enough things in common. I dated this one guy who was 17 years older than me, it was kinda weird when he’d talk about serving in the military… cuz I would think… “I was in diapers.” He’d ask if I remembered when.. then stop because he had realized I wasn’t even born yet.
