Dating Younger or What's age got to do with it?

So I know it's been a while. Anyway. I went on a date Saturday. His name is Alex and I met him on Grindr. I know meeting guys online. "Not worth it. Blah. Blah. Blah." Let me counter you with this: even in progressive cities such as Atlanta, meeting guys online is safer for gays, and queers.

So let's get back to the dating part. I knew he was 10 years younger than me but I didn't know he was 10 years younger than me. What I mean is the level of maturity displayed on the phone didn't match up, as much, in real life. The date went well but the over sharing of youth, the know it all--seen it all attitude (not strong with him but still there), owning a wallet with a chain, and the small things that being in your late thirties affords you that you still lack in your twenties, such as knowing yourself politically without the influence of family, began to add up.

I've dated guys in their 20's as a man in my 30's and I usually find myself sliding into a big brother role. Not something I want in a romantic relationship: Sibcest is not appealing to me. Also I usually have to take the lead in a relationship with a younger guy and as someone whose job for many years meant taking the lead and managing others, whether that be in a retail environment or in the classroom, I prefer in my romantic relationships to be more passive. Not submissive. I don't like anyone to be in control over me essentially, but in matters such as where to eat and what to see, as long as I have a veto for the things I really don't care to participate in, I don't mind a guy or even a friend making the mundane decisions. I digress.

Beyond the youthful grating, I had fun on the date. He was nice. Funny, Cute with light, blue eyes.
He paid the bill, which I was surprised because I am older than him and I initiated the meeting. We were circling a date but he wouldn't act and I found myself being the reluctant leader (it's something I realized I was in Leadership class--a required class for one of my school scholarships). We then went to a movie (I paid) and chatted while waiting for the movie. We saw Minions. Yes I know, here I am complaining about his immaturity and we see Minions. I conceded to watching it because other than Sinister 2, it was the only other movie I hadn't see yet. We ended up back at my place and shared an awkward kiss.

I've still been talking to him since Saturday but I am not sure about where this is going. Or I should say I am not sure where I want to go with this. Unlike the Youth Minister I know Alex is really interested in me but like the Youth Minister I want someone near my age or older. I see the irony of this dating cycle with the last one. the irony of age in both cases. HMMMM!

So: Would you date someone 10 years younger?
