I know I mean actually that I judge it on base of the place I was and the stories from other people. I can imagine Paris being like that.
Yes I understand, I do date only people I like :) but it is hard to get a nice talk and so on with guys younger. If I would date a 20 year he is probably still exciting about partying all the time, going to first year of study. While I feel I want more in life :)
you know what I mean.
I do :) For me the partying wasn't a problem, it was the lack of a job and lack of a motivation to get one. I was working full-time in a very stressful position, and having to pay for everything while he stayed home and played video games. So I left him. The other just thought he was some sort of international playboy and left me for a much younger (and uglier) girl.

I think they can be quite closed, especially in Paris, but not always. But then I have an unnatural love of them ;)



It certainly opened up my eyes to things I can't handle in a relationship.
This might sound sexist, but I find it true of both sexes. When I have interacted with/observed relationships between younger people it seems to be driven more towards power control and playing mind games. Its something that happened a lot with my ex that i was with for four years - she didn't realise i had no respect for her and just ignored her bullshit, appologized when i was meant to and carried on - made no difference to me. When I have been with girls older than me it seemed to be a lot simpler - we were more honest with eachother. With Ania she is like me - honest without question and thats one of the reasons i became attracted to her. I can tell she does keep some stuff back from me, but this is the first time she's been in a long distance relationship so its understandable, but when she's here over the sumer we should be good.

Not sexist, it's true of many people. Some will never grow out of the games, some will never have participated in the first place. There's nothing wrong with going through it as a phase, I think, but you can't build a happy relationship on that sort of shit. But then some people don't want those kinds of relationships.

I can't say that I dated much, since I have been in my current relationship since I was 16, but going out with younger girls must suck. At least I remember it that way. :D

There's this relationship that I can't tear apart and it lasts for 2 years, it was so hard and I think I failed... bah, she loves him too much. I feel weak and powerless. And I feel like I'll explode with the first thing I find annoying, so I'll terrorize that person who does that to me.
