I have a plate right now that I’ve been vetting for a bit, but I am 26 and she is about to be 29. She’s mentioned more serious desires in life before, having kids, buying a house, settling down, etc...

These are all things I want, but timelines may be different.

Anyone have any experience dating up 2-3 years, especially around our age ranges?

My immediate concerns are she will want this all too quickly and also the potential for her to monkey branch down the road to a guy more close or older to her. I have a lot going for me but I’m on the fence with this situation. I guess I could always just assume it’s only my turn and go from there.

Any insight would be appreciated.
