This is a question that is often asked and we have also seen a trend of many young people opting to be with a person much older, sometimes even twice their age. Though the debate continues, the most obvious and plain answer is that dating a senior is not the right way to go. There are millions of differences between people of different age groups, and with time they become problems major enough to ruin the relationship.
First comes the generation gap, and no matter what you think of it this gap does more damage to a relationship then you can ever dream of.Especially in this modern world where everything is changing so rapidly that every 5 to 10 years children grow in a completely different environment, and thus generations have different ethics, habits and different views of the world from other generations. And when people of different generations come together these things build up to put pressure on both persons in the relationship. When young people (male or female) start dating senior citizens things really start to take a nasty turn. First of all, the seniors, obviously yearning for young companions, end up losing their heads.
All the logic accumulated with years of toil and hard work takes a backseat as they dive headfirst into this very unstable and volatile relationship. They also manage to convince themselves that their younger counterpart will be totally dedicated to them as they are to them, which the younger one often is not. But this is not the young counterpart's fault. People who delve into senior dating and get together with an older person are often disturbed due to some previous relationships that didn't turn out well, so they take this route. With them not in a psychologically right state of mind they go make the commitment and then, as they come back to being their normal selves,fights break out and they feel detached from their senior partner.Physically they are not satisfied and there is no mental cohesion between them as well. The elder can't understand why the young one needs to listen to songs at such a high volume or stay outside so late, or their craze for gadgets. The younger ones are often angry at being scolded, or sometimes hate their senior partners lack of fun activities and other boring patterns they follow in life. More often then not the end is the younger one cheating on the older one and the relationship ending sourly and bitterly.
So the right thing to do is to be with the person near or around your own age group. Though there are exceptions, the majority of these relationships really don't work so that should be an enough indication. But If you are happy with it than good for you! Play safe and try not to ruin your life or that of someone else.
