I'm 26 and all my life, I seem to get along best with people younger than me or older. And what I mean by young, when I was like 8-12, I would play regularly with a young neighbor of mine who's like 6 years younger and old meaning that the person can qualify as a senior citizen or at middle age. And if I do get along with someone around my age, there's usually a 2-3 year age difference. And it's difficult because I know when I'm looking for a boyfriend these days, I don't mind younger, still not "too young", and dating someone old enough to be an uncle or my dad is out of the question. And when I recently tried to date someone my age, he turned out to be an immature jerk.

Anyone else can relate?

Children tend to be very accepting and non-judgmental, and seniors tend to be wise and at a reflective stage of life, so its not surprising you get along with both groups.

I also have a very special connection to these groups. I have actually worked both with children and seniors. Partly because I knew I'd enjoy working with them. My appreciation for both children and seniors is really high. I think people generally don't give enough credit to how smart small children are. Often we are condescending to them, we speak down to them, but they are so smart. And often we don't appreciate the lessons seniors have to teach us based on their experience.

I am a better person for having worked with both groups.

This reflection came out of me today because my sister who was visiting due to Christmas this afternoon was talking about her 26 year old nephew from her husband's family and she was talking about how he was single now and my mom mentioned something about us going out (we don't know each other) but my sister seemed a bit against the idea. In her opinion he was a 10 in looks and nicer than me and out of my league. I don't know I saw a picture and didn't think he was a 10 and she's not either but anyway, it kind of hurt me like. Am I not good enough for someone my age? I know I'm not a 10 but I don't think I would be that bad looking for someone who was different. I don't know, it's just made me feel bad. I seem to not be able to attract the men I want and most of the men I attract (especially lately) are not good enough and sometimes really on a low spectrum. The last guy who tried to hit on me didn't even have all his teeth (possibly due to drugs) and told a contradictory story about his life and pretended to be single and he wasn't even my age supposedly. He was older.

I was like you when I was younger, I played with kids a lot younger than me and in my early 20's most of my friends were in the mid 30's and 40's.
In my 20's all the guys I dated were 5 to 10 yrs older than me.
My husband is the same age as I am. I met him 12 years ago when I was 38. My first husband was 3 yrs younger. He was VERY immature.

Age is just a number. Looks fade with time.

I have learned the hard way that after dating many many losers and guys that were nothing but jerks and thinking that they were the only guys I could get that it is all how think that attracts what things to you.
When I thought about going being able to attract losers that is all I got. When I finally decided to listen to my guides and start thinking positively and thinking I could attract a really wonderful man who will treat me like a queen is when I would attract that in my life.
I met my husband over ten years ago and he is 9 years older than me. He is wonderful.
It is all how you look at things.

That's a good idea. Ever since I was young, I wanted who looked and was perfect and that doesn't seem to exist and it does, they most likely wouldn't like me. But I think my bad self-esteem is getting to me because I've recently been attracting really bad guys inside and out. And I think maybe I need a middle ground person but then again I need believe I'm worthy of better and that there's a good man in my area.

Cathy's right, its all about The Law Of Attraction - LOA I was attracting men that were losers, not guys that were unemployed or drank and did drugs, men who I allowed to treat me like crap. All the guys I had relationship with were real sh**s and treated me like a doormat. The Universe thought that was who I wanted to be with so they kept sending me those losers.
