age shoudl so not amtter. My best friend's last two boyfriends area year yougner than her. The only thing that matters is that you two really liek aeachother. wh ocares what anyone else thinks

[michi_love]

age is nothing, my boyfriend is also a year younger than me. I love him to death and don't care about the age difference.

[hippiehop]

one of my friends always dates guys 2-3 years younger than she is.

[IATEYOU]

i truly believe that love knows no age.
but, no offense to you or anything, i feel that a lot of people are too young to know true love (as cliche and yuck as that sounds )


anyhow
if you feel it.
GO FOR IT.
no regrets.

[secretlyjustyours]

im going out with a freshman, and i'm a sophmore
some people made a big deal but others said it was fine.
so i don't care what they think :]

[Gofishus]

Ehh, I don't find it such a big deal.
My best friend went out with a guy two years younger than us.. which
I don't think is such a bad thing, but the only weird thing was that
we were still younger back then and it seemed odd.

We were probably in 7th grade, and he was in 5th... kiiinda weird..

But who cares. As long as you like him

I always assumed that whenever primary school kids dated it was all a matter of treating each other out to ice cream or something of the sort. lmao

[Sapphire852]

there's no problem, he's only one year younger, i've dated a girl three years older and out of every single girl that i've been with, i treasure the relationship with her the most.

listen, here's my one solid advice.

if other people mind, it wouldnt affect your relationship at all, but, if ONE OF YOU mind then you're on a sinking ship already. So as long as you believe that there's no problem (age related) then there wont be any. Usually the stress comes from two sources, one from the male, the other from the female.

male side: because you are older, he'll feel the pressure to "become older", even if you dont impose anything on him; he would start feeling that if he's unable to chill if your friends, for example, because your topics are too old/sophisticated/difficult for him. this is really up to him as to whether he can overcome this barrier.

female side: you'll get this thought eventually, "am i that desperate that i have to go for a younger guy?" or "i feel like an old cougar"... DO NOT THINK THAT WAY, because you're the only one who thinks so. no one else has the right to comment on your relationship, and if he's dating you, that means he doesnt care that you're older, and just like i said before, as long as you dont care about the age gap, then no one will.


oh, and last thing... since he IS younger than you, there's a high chance that he's not as mature as you. BUT you'll pretty much have to deal with this with guys of ALL ages, so dont worry about it if it happens.

good luck!!!!

[angels.disguise]

theres really no problem with dating
younger guys. lots of people do it(:
I personally would never date a younger
guy because to me that would feel...weird.
plus i dont like being reminded that im getting older:P

[SMiLEySx3]

I don`t think theres a problem with dating younger guys,,
But i don`t accept it myself, LOL .
If you really like him then yeah . Age is nothing but a number .
You can`t control your feelings . ^___^"

[localpinoy]

i hope its not a problem haha. i tend to go for girls who are in the same year as me academically; however, im born late. oh well...figures

[hiswendy]

You can try to get to know him... but he might not be very um 'open' to getting with the girl his friend obviously liked. Mm as for age only being a number...well, are your peers okay with it? Are you okay with whatever their opinions are- whether or not they're okay with him being younger? xD Ask yourself these questions & you'll find your answer.

[joolee.]

It's not a big deal at all but I just wouldn't date a younger guy myself.

[Bombom.]

It's okay for what I think.
It just matters if you guys really like each other.
Just like do whatever you think is right.
Remember that age is just a number.

My friend's auntie married a guy that was 9 years
older. Age doesn't really matter.
The only thing that matters is people saying
stuff, but who cares. Just do what you think is
right.

I like someone who is one year younger
than me too, but I'm sure if I still like him
Lols.

[kayara<3]

dw, a year is nothing! you guys'll remember the same things from childhood and all that, so it's not like you're coming from different generations or anything O_O

just... be sure that if you go out with him, that you don't create a lot of tension between him and his friend.

[snaeha_dalis13]

I think it's probably more about maturity levels and probably experience. The younger guy-older girl thing changes as people get older, like uni age because both are seen to be much more mature. But I guess if you like each other, there is nothing wrong with it, unless he was really young or something.

[ajlee613]

hahaha middle school.

remember. dont take any relationship to seriously. chances are it wont last that long. even the ones that were supposed to be built to last. liek my friend who had the same girl since he was 12 to when he was 20.

put a few hundered miles between them and suddenly they have new ppl. why? because if u choose the chocolate chip cookie before u try the peanut butter one... u wont realize that that one is better tasting. and later on when u are forced to see a new world like say. college. then u will see that peanut butter cookie again and be like omg... it does taste better.


yes.


go out with him. doint go past kissing. it hurts to grow up to fast. i did a lot of things when i was in middle school simply bc there were a lot of ppl who didn't have much of family back then. so u found love somewhere else. anywehre else. and ppl are willing to do crazy things.

and his friend will have to find a new girl. only go out with ppl on pity if u dont like anyone. honestly i remember i went out with plenty of girls out of pity. but be4 that i thought "dude thats messed up and wrong" but i realized that a lot of girls woudl say "ur messsed up! u kno she really likes u shes pretty and popular how come u dont want her"

eventualy i realized its better to just ask and let it go later after makign thigns really boring and stuff. remember just cuz ur going out wit someone. it doesnt mean they own u or u own them. live ur own seperate lives most of the time.

[LunaDiviner]

I think it's due to maturity levels. An immature boyfriend can drive you nuts because 'stereotypically' guys are suppose to be dominant. But there are younger guys out there that can be really mature.

[Antz]

it shouldn't be the main problem. if it's a huge gap later on in life, then it's a problem (for the girl).

[sixth.]

i just had this discussion with my friend today.

her last relationship was with an older guy, and that lasted a long time. he was mature, he knew what he wanted in life and he just... knew what to do in situations. she always relied on him because she knew she could, and he was her motivation to get somewhere in life.
but now she's dating a guy nearly 2 years younger than her and she finds it strange, because he's turning 18 and just wants to have fun in his life, while she's nearly graduated from uni and about to get a proper job.

but if you really like them, go for it. you won't know until you try

[&rea]

I used to be just like you. I had this thing where I'd never date anyone younger than me, but then I met my boyfriend (who's a year younger than I am) and realized it was silly to set those kinds of standards. You like who you like. I wouldn't want someone to overlook me because I'm Korean just the same as I wouldn't want someone to overlook me because of my age.
