Aww Aishah, yeah that does happen sometimes when there is too much of an age gap. I am not considering anyone more than 7 years older than me. And I don’t need the guy to be well-settled and steady in his career. But given his age and the opportunities he had, if I get the feeling that he is a bum or doesn’t have a good study/work ethic, that’s a turnoff for me. For example, a 33 year-old who came to North America in high school…at 33, if he is still at the bottom ladder of his chosen field and due to his own actions (not some act of God like a medical problem or accident), that to me doesn’t seem very promising…even if he is a great guy otherwise!

Of course you made the right decision here! I am talking about someone who is 26-27 and needs time to make a better career and progress. Also they should have some background at least. Can’t start from scratch. You are looking at it the right way
