Age difference-long post

Samantha • I’m 28, single mom. Daughter is 7❤️

I’m curious to what you ladies have to say about age difference. I am 28 almost 29 and recently divorced. I’m kinda dipping my toes in the dating scene but it seems the only men mature enough to understand what I want are 8+ years older. I’ve not dated a lot. I got pregnant by my high school sweetheart who got on drugs really bad so we split. A month after I left him (my daughter was a year old) I met my ex husband. We were together for 6 years. He was a major narcissist and had an affair with my babysitter and now lives with her and her 3 kids and never bothered to ask about my daughter whom he helped raise all that time. He’s not seen her since July. There was one guy I was sorta interested in who’s 4 years younger (2 kids of his own full time single dad) but his maturity level isn’t up to par among other red flags. One guy 8 years older, joint custody of his 2 kids, and been single for a few years. He’s stable and chill. I’m just curious what y’all think. Especially the younger women. I’m not done living yet and I’m afraid an older man wouldn’t be able to keep up with my hyper activity. I go go go all the time with work and home and play dates. Not to mention I’ve always had a high sex drive. I never cheated on my husband even when he got to where we’d have sex MAYBE once a week or every other week so it’s not that bad lol. I’m not a cheater 🙈but I’m just afraid I’d get into it and he couldn’t keep up. And having kids I worry. I know this sounds horrible and probably shallow and I’m too old to be asking this 😂 but I need opinions about the age difference. Experiences appreciated. I know everyone is different but I’ve not truly been in the dating scene in 14 years and don’t want to jump into anything. But I also don’t want either of us to put too much time and effort if one of us are gonna end up bored. Again, that probably sounds horrible 😢 but I want at least one more baby some day too! So that’s a big factor in dating issues for me.
