liv2luvudeeply View Profile History	Okay, what about age limits? Posted : 30 Dec, 2009 07:18 PM Okay so there are NOT a lot of folks from Northeast Ohio on this site, whether you're looking for a relationship or just a friendship. So I just found someone close that I would like to at least become friends with. Problem is, her age limits prohibit me from contacting her. Now I'm not preaching about age limits because I have them too. But I'm a very young forty something, and I've dated girls a lot younger than this girl. So for those of you who have imposed age restrictions, are you really certain that your age restrictions are God's? Not being condemning, just want to open a discussion. It cracks me up to see a lady say something in her profile like "I messed up on the first choice so I'm totally leaving it up to God this time..." then place an age restriction range of about 5 years, plus other filters. :) Ain't this online dating thing COOL? lol Anthony Post Reply
View Profile History	Okay, what about age limits? Posted : 30 Dec, 2009 07:33 PM I have imposed an age limit on mine, but I think it's pretty generous. My idea is, if he could be my father (he's more than 12 years older than me) than that starts to get a little creepy. Now, in real life I'm open to a larger age bracket than I am online. But, online it's very easy to be deceptive, so more of my personal 'firewalls' come up. Is it God's? Well, my father has a saying; "who can thwart the will of God? Not you." I also believe God gave us reason, and that in many cases we can trust it. I'm sorry to hear you can't contact this girl you wish to contact, I imagine that's disappointing. Post Reply
liv2luvudeeply View Profile History	Okay, what about age limits? Posted : 30 Dec, 2009 07:49 PM Yeah not everyone is into the father figure thing. I have a friend who is 17 years younger and she asked me to her corporate Christmas party instead of the guys she was dating. We had a blast and her friends all wanted to know when we were going out again. I just ended a short relationship of 14 years younger, and I was seriously looking at marrying her. I have dated ladies in their early 20's, and I had a little more trouble relating to someone that much younger...I have a daughter who is 20! I'm also kinda casually dating someone 8 years older than me but she's a VERY young 50 something. So that's the reasoning behind my generous age limits. The problem with the gal that's older than me is that although she LOOKS 10 years younger, she's not nearly as active as I am, whereas, the younger gals are. I think that matching levels of interest and activity play a huge role in whether or not it could work. Post Reply
GraceMae View Profile History	Okay, what about age limits? Posted : 30 Dec, 2009 08:16 PM Good point Anthony! I've had to post a message to a few people that I've befriended (not potential dating- but those that I want to be friends with... women and men) asking them to change the age restrictions so I could at least send them a message.

liv2luvudeeply View Profile History	Okay, what about age limits? Posted : 31 Dec, 2009 05:20 AM So where did you post this message? I think if they contact you first, the age restriction is lifted. I was outside the initial age restriction of the girl I was just dating but she contacted me first so I could e-mail her back. Post Reply

So,did someone else.I changed my age limits for them.If the lady is on the boards ask her in a post.I have the same problem as you.I live in Ohio and can not find many ladies in Northwest Ohio. But that is changing very slowly,Dennis Post Reply
liv2luvudeeply View Profile History	Okay, what about age limits? Posted : 31 Dec, 2009 10:30 AM Ah well thanks...that would make it easy if the person were a poster, or even knew these forums existed. Wonder how it would go over if I asked someone within her age limits to forward a message for me? Post Reply
