EDIT BY MOD:

This is the only thread to discuss EVERYTHING about age differences in relationships. I don't care if you have a problem about big age gaps or just want to voice your opinion on age differences, you are to post EVERYTHING about age differences IN THIS THREAD.

You start a new thread about age differences, it gets closed or merged.

I'm a guy, and I wouldn't mind going out with someone older than me. I mean, people mature at a faster rate than others.

I liked a junior guy when I was a senior in high school. Whatever, I didn't think it was a big deal. The one-year difference only mattered because I knew I was going off to college the next year and he wasn't. Sophomores were more like my little brothers, but there were some pretty hot junior guys.

Anyway, don't let that one year get to you. You're closer in age and maturity level than the girls who go out with guys seven years older than them. If you like him, you like him.

i dated a guy who was a year younger than me when i was in highschool.
we still met each other when i was away for school and he was in highschool.
whocares how other people see it. if you guys really like each other
the age difference wouldn't be important...
Velocitii
nothing wrong with it, its only a year
but you are going to college in a year and he'll still be in hs
college does change people so you never know

hey chill, it's alright. i'm currently dating a guy who's a year younger than me and it's really no big deal. he's a lot more mature and caring than most of the senior guys at my school (i'm a senior). the case might be different though, because my boyfriend skipped a grade. but still, nevertheless, his friends tease him all the time about how it feels like to be dating an older female. it's ok, as long as you guys like each other. nothing really gets in our way, except when we talk about like how he might get caught driving me around illegally... when i won't get caught doing that because i'd be legal by next year. just minor problems. those never ever come up, though. like age difference only happened like twice. we've been dating for almost a year now.

I just find it funny. I know of this one chick who dates a guy a year younger than her, and he's not the lovi dovi type, and she is. After they went out, he totally turned into a lovi dovi type of girl, it's cute and funny sometimes.

But I personally wouldn't date a guy younger than me, even if it's just .5 -1 year. I think it's just stereotypical I guess, that it's ok for guys to date younger girls, but not around. I just don't like the idea of depending on a guy younger than me.. I don't know.. it feels .. weird.

=) I'm currently dating someone whose 11 months younger. And honestly, I find no problem with it. I guess people point it out because they might worry about a "maturity" level that comes with a person's age. But honestly, if you two click, then don't worry about it.

i wouldn't want to go out with a older girl either
sockrahtease
i think dating younger guys is fine... once everyone involved is over eighteen.
poopiness
plain and simple. Date him.
Hikuuu
Dating isn't such a big deal I think. The age difference isn't that big either. I think you should consider when you're nearing the edge of being a pedophile lol.

i think it's cute.
i'd rather see a girl who's a year older with a guy a year younger
than a tiny girl in seventh grade going out with a huge senior.
xt1naaa
Personally, I would'nt date a guy younger than me. But if you like him, and he likes you, then you don't have to care what other people think or say. As long as your happy with it, its all good. cool.gif
cand33clouds
personally, i wouldn't date a guy younger than me unless he's in the same grade level...

but my friend is dating a guy a year younger, and they're really happy together =]

i say go for it. if you like him you like him
koneee
He's only 1 year younger than you, it's not a big deal at all. As long as he shows his mature side it should be ok. Younger guys can me more mature than older guys. It just really depends who the person is. All age groups have their mature and immature people.
YOURS2ENVY
personally i`m not a big fan of going out with someone younger
i don`t want people looking at me weirdly
and i definitely don`t want to deal with the immaturity.........................

but i guess if you fall, you fall right?
roguechinadoll
I wouldn't mind dating a guy that's a year or two younger
as long as he's mature enough for a relationship.
Go for it~
masala_chai_tea
I think views on this usually change as you get older. Age becomes a lot less of an issue. If you really like the guy, then go for it.
Ewwitsher
if u have guts
i think u should go for it.
right now i like someone younger
but im a scarycat >_<
so i got no guts to tell him i like him...
mojomunkeez
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. My last relationship was like that, she was older than me. Well, I guess it was one of the reasons it didn't work out in the end...but that's not the point.
b o m i
It shouldn't matter what his age is if he's a great guy right?
And a year shouldn't bother you too much. ^^;;
Hah, as for me I prefer the older ones.
TimmyYayo
love and age have nothing in common and they really should'nt be put together. age is just a number. but love is a feeling.
xolove
I dont think 1 year age difference is a big deal, for both sides. And I guess, girls feel they have more security when an older man is around? Not to be sexist or anything, but girls tend to be more mature than boys? o_O thats my point of view =P
HEROsarleh
i think its okay for an older girl to date a younger guy .. as long as the age gap isnt too big.
a year is fine, but personally it comes down to how you two get along.
age shouldnt really matter too much when you like someone.
hked
most my my friends (female) will never date a guy younger.... but im sure as , you get older, that 1 yr becomes nothing...
ladee_bug
I find it perfectly ok.
There's no wrong in it.
xSimplySweet
Age is just a number smile.gif
As long as you like each other for who you are then it doesn't matter.
Romancer.
One year is not a big deal. You should go for it if you like him.
<3 Kim
At first I was saying to myself that I wouldn't

but I dont think I would have a problem with it as i get older
ayis1185

i second that. age isn't really an issue, its more about maturity
cathy the dork
^ i agree.
but not just the guy's maturity but yours too.

my friends going out with someone 11 months younger, but like three grades younger.
he's pretty mature; and
she's a little immature too so it works out perfectly for them smile.gif
영원한 사랑
This is just a curious question.


For me, I would! Because I look young and am immature for my age, I think I would match well with someone younger (not too much younger but a few years younger, i think would be ok).


Jaejin from FT Island is 3 years younger than me and I just think he's SO CUTE and hot <3 lol,



So how about u guys?
Would you? If he's mature, good looking, etc..?
chocolate*
I wouldn't.
It would feel too much like a little brother.
No matter how much taller/bigger/mature.. good looking, I can't get past it psychologically that he's younger than me.
It's just personal preference. I know a lot of people would, but I won't.
I wouldn't even go 1 year younger.
ANJEE<3
^- same..
i probably not even a month younger.. or a day for that matter..
he HAS to be older than me..
it's just one of those things that i can't help.. i don't mean to offend anyone
제 프
aww..is being a nuna that bad..
SOCKBUNNY
For the time being, no. A 3 year gap means a lot especially when it comes to maturity in the teen years :/
So in a few years, maybe.
addickshun
i'd never do that T__T
but that's just me.
j'adoreAZNpop
as a friend it's okay. but i wouldnt date someone younger ...or same age as me :S
Xiaoba1tu
I'm pretty sure no guy 3 years younger than me is mature.

Even if there was a mature one. No way.. I would see them as a little bro only.

I wouldn't go a year younger either..
Dulce de Leche
I think since Jaejin's still like what, 17? It's still a bit weird.
But if he was like 20 and you're 23, I find nothing weird about that =)!
stoner beans
honestly.. who cares?
like someone once said "there are no hot grandparents"
love is ageless happy.gif
ipingu
i wouldnt lol even though i look young as well, it would just feel weird =/
SweetnSour012
3 years younger is too much for me..1 year younger is tolerable. I prefer older guys though.
honeylove
I'm 16 right now, so no i wouldn't.
But even if i was older, i still wouldn't. I would feel really weird. ):
The youngest i'd go is a year younger.
My boyfriend right now is 15, he's like 5 months younger than me, haha.
& it felt weird at first already. -___-
Faded Aura
It depends on the guy... But most likely not... Unless the guy is quite mature for his age and doesn't look like he's younger than me... Then again, if he's three years younger than me, for him to be more mature wouldn't really be a good thing for him (a 15 years old acting like an 18 or 19 years old isn't psychologically healthy in my opinion...)

So yeah... most likely not... I can't give a definite answer since there are always exceptions to things...
Antz
depends on what age i am at. i would give it a go if i was older.
but i probably wouldn't. my parents would absolutely forbid my relationship.
they even said my bf wasn't good enough because he was young (he's only four months younger than me, but same year O_O).
<3 Kim
probably not. I would only date older guys, i dunno, it's just me :/
