mmmm, i personally have never dated anyone younger than me.
and to me, i just don't think i'd want to, idk.. it's just a personal preference.
but i know a bunch of girls dating younger guys and they're so cute.
whatever makes you happy, i guess.

but older guys for me is fine.
my oldest boyfriend was... four older than me?
i don't think it's that bad.

it all just depends on the person, imho.

For me maturity and the way they act is more important than age.
I don't care whether he's younger, same age or older than me as long he's more mature than I am.
Like if he's 3 years younger but looks + acts older than me, than sure I'd like him. xD


Iono ... I have plenty of friends who are like 2 years younger than me but are way more mature than I ever am.

[pink_lotus]

if the girl is 15 and the dudes 19 then is it unacceptable? ><

[Nine]

to me age doesn't matter if it's like 1 or 2 years apart
if it's like 10 + then I don't know
as long as they're happy then it's good
ahaha

The only time I would have problem is if the age difference becomes a minor and adult, other then that, I have no issues with it.


When I was 19, I had about 18 month relationship with a 34 year woman. She was a great woman, taught me many, many things about life, relationship, sex...etc

That was a great experience for both of us.

i would want to date someone around 3-4 years my senior, if he was the same age id hope him to be mature =)

my max. would be around 8 years.

i normally dont think of guys younger than me in a romantic way.. .sooo yeah =)

[bluue]

I think age differences vary within categories.

For instance:
12-15 = 1-2 years
16-20 = 1-3
21-26 = 1-4

I'd say though, a 21 y.o shouldn't really date anyone under 17.

[mishax3]

My boyfriend is 6 years older than I am. I like it because he is mature and knows how to treat a woman. I don't think age matters, but obviously i think each person should be of age..as in an adult with another adult. But you know as long as you are with someone you can connect with, age shouldn't be a huge factor.

[Sympathetic]

Age doesn't matter.

I prefer older guys, mainly because they're mature and know how to treat a woman right.

[swo0o]

I want to know what people think of 15yr old girl, with a 21yrold guy.
Yes, this does relate to me.

We've so far been together for 1year1m. What do you guys think about this?

Just curious.

[영원한 사랑]

Age doesn't matter to me if its a small difference.
But I don't really wanna date someone who's alot older than me or alot younger.

[-One-]

in love, age is only a number ^^

[mizz_J]

Personally, i wouldn't date a guy who's younger than me.
However, when i was a senior in high school, i was with this guy who was like a year younger than me, though he was in the same grade as me.
But yea, it was a bit weird..not the age difference, but the whole thing.

Honestly, i'd rather be with someone who's the same age as me or maybe a year or two older than me. Anything below or above that is no no no. My bf is like a month older than me.

[Flicksityy]

I get paranoid with age if the guy's younger by more than a day, that's the limit for me.
That is unless I really seriously love him, then all this love thing wouldn't matter at all.

[Lilee]

I've been with my boyfriend for a couple of months now and he's like 1.5 years younger than I am. I didn't used to like the idea of dating younger guys, but I'm totally in love!! It's just going to be weird though, 'cus I'm going to legal (18) in like 2 months, and he'll still be a minor.

I think that if you're really into someone, go for it.

[ix3sk8rboiz]

I just met this one guy who's pretty unique and possesses the qualities that I do look for in a guy. Generally soft-spoken and really sweet,considerate of others, and goal-oriented, he's a 27-year-old that just came from korea to study in the US. I met him randomly on the way home on the bus, since we both lived in the same neighborhood, I didn't get any strange vibes off of him and he didn't give me the heebie jeebies or anything so I gave him my number and then we just met up yesterday at starbucks

I'm pretty attracted to him, and would not be against the idea of pursuing something more, but then this whole age gap seems to appear like a road bump or perhaps, a chasm for us :3. I didn't want to send him any mixed signals, so if we're just going to stay as friends and only as friends, I wanted to clear that up with him in an indirect way, because he seemed to be pretty into me too, and it would end all awkward if i didn't straighten out what i was feeling after what happened yesterday. :3

Would a 9 year relationship age gap too much? (me-18, him-27)

Our relationship focuses aren't too different: he's not looking to marry because he has his academic goals he wishes to accomplish, just like I do at the moment, and we'd both be good at balancing that out in our lives.

And when we had to go home, he said to call him if i got bored, and he'd call me smile.gif

What should I do....

[ohbliss]

I would say go for it. You may regret it later if you don't. If you guys stay friends & he ends up hooking up with someone else, you're always going to have that "what if" feeling. 9 years is a lot, but at least you're a legal adult. If you were any younger, I would have said no.

[ix3sk8rboiz]

Oh yes! there was another thing I wanted to ask :3

What are the pros and cons of entering a large age gap relationship, and what are some common issues that arise between large age gap couple? :3 namely, younger girls and older guys?

[Yoshi.]

^I probably say the con for this relationship is that he may want to get marry. Ever thought about it? You are still young (18 is still considered young to me even if you are almost at the legal age (21) AND you are now responsible for your own action (18)). For me, I wouldn't go for it. Don't do what your heart tells you because it gets you into trouble.

[killjadeskye]

Well, when I first read your title, I was thinking it would probably be hard for your relationship coz you may have different kind of thinking seeing your age gap. But after reading your story, I think there's no more problem.
I mean, both of you sorta know what you want in life. There's no reason why you can't be in a relationship together.
Age gap is not a problem..
