Personally, I think if a women hasn't met the right man by the time she's 24, she may be lucky.
I think you should not limit yourself to dating somebody older or younger.
I date older men, and I date younger men. I have no rules about that.
My dad wouldn't let me date until I was 16.
I started dating at 16.
My parents never said I had to be 16 to date, but that has been the rule for all my friends.
Let's put it this way: The older you get, the easier it is to date younger men. There are more of them.
I never get asked out by men my own age, as they all want to go out with 20-year-olds, and the men that do ask me out are too young.
I don't mind dating younger men now.
Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].
When you leave L.A. and go to another city, guys are normal again. They like girls their own age.
