On dating someone younger.......or older....... I can weigh in on this, since I have been all over the board age wise.
My ex was my age. One of us grew up, the other did not.
Post D- one guy was 15 years older than me. Age was not an issue because we were in the exact same places in our lives. We both had a child, 2 years apart, both were divorced one month a part.
ANother guy- 12 years older. He had grown kids, but one 2 years younger than mine. However, he was going through a MLC.
FF- 9 years younger. While he had a great career and also owned a business, he still lived at home, and didn't have kids yet, and ultimately wanted them, and that was the deal breaker for us.
This guy right now, same age, no job, no kids, at least lives on his own, no real drive. Mentally, probably 10 years younger.
I know that PT guy who is 25, wants children. So I won't even go there.
So, as you can see, age is a number. My dad's wife is 17 years younger than him. He wsa done having kids, she was ok with not having kids. I was out of the house, it has worked for them. My dad began dating her when he was 48 I believe. He is now 68 and they are going strong.
So, to me, age IS just a number if you are in the same stages in your life. Or at least, your stages are compatible.
I wouldn't rule out another "country" unless you know for sure there are some deal breakers, like kids. If you enjoy the same things, youa re entitled to have fun and see where it goes!

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
