Age difference. Does it matter? Well i know it matters if the person is 18+ but what I mean is, does it matter when its like a 4 year difference? [ ex. 13 yr. dating a 16 yr old. ]. I'm a freshwoman in highschool and my bf is in 8th grade. I feel a bit awkward about it because the boyfriends i had was atleast 2 years older than me. He's only 4 months younger than me. Is what im feeling a bit ridiculous?

And for all the ladies, have you dated a guy younger than you?

age difference is definately not a problem for me....

i dont see anything wrong with age difference ... in most situations. ive gone out with a couple guys younger than me. when i was a freshmen my boyfriend was an 8th grader >.<

i date a 75 year old women
i dont see whats wrong with that..











juss kidding, it matters about connection i guess
if the two love each other, i dont see whats wrong with it

I wouldnt go over 10 years in age difference..cause thats gettin kinda creepy-ish, but even up to 9 or 10 years difference really shouldnt matter once their both over 18. As long as theres that connection, I dont see why age should matter.

it don't really matter unless it was like a really big age difference like 40 years and your just dating that person for what he/she got. money. house. car. etc...

My mom is about 4 years younger than my dad. So?

age shouldnt matter. as long as u love them. My bf is a yr older then me. so what..

age only matters depending how old u r..for example...if ur 20 n ur bf is 25..totally exceptable..but if ur 15 n ur bf is 20..parents dont like dat one dat much..lol..but yeah..a 4 month diff is nuthin

age difference shouldnt stop anything..
i mean.. my parents are 5 years apart.. who cares?

My friend's grandparents are 10 years part. Or that's what she said.

hhmm

It shouldn't matter.
To some, it does, but I don't think it should..

Unless you're 12 and the other is 24.. that's just.. weird..

pssh nahh juss 4 months? thats really nothing! anyways me and my boyfriend are 4 years apart... and i dont see nothing wrong with it... but yehh i always date older guys.

I prefer older guys. Well now that I think of it. MOst of my boyfriends I had were atleast 3 or 4 years difference. This is just my first time dating someone thats younger than me.

well.. this is just how i see it:
i dont think the girl should really be older than the guy. but if you're in like middle school and your just one grade older, then that's okay. but im pretty sure things'll get akward when u get into hi skool and he's jsut graduating in the year to come.
age doesnt really matter though. my mother is 3 years senior to my dad. and i always thought that was weird-- especially cause my mom sometimes refers to him as being "immature" which sometimes, he is, and its pretty odd.

it doesnt matter tho. "its about the love really"

x3 dont sweat it. 4 months-- heh. my cousin likes a dude one grade her junior, and technically, hes like 2 years younger than her.

its ok to feel like that but jus remember that age is just a number

my parents are 10 years apart and my uncle & aunt are 15 years apart and they're both happy. but then again, since this is only our teen years... i dont think it matters. just as long as you're happy =)

Thanks for the replys!

I never truly understand why people say its acceptable to be 26 and have a 21 year old bf/gf but not acceptable to be 21 and have a 16 year old bf/gf. Its the same age span...and if you guys say that age doesn't matter then it shouldn't matter in any case may it be a 26 and a 21 year old or a 21 and a 16 year old.

You shouldn't feel ashamed because most of the girls I have dated are older than me and they didn't feel ashame...or at least thats what they tell me...haha lmao...

I don't see anything wrong unless it's like a 10 year or more difference. Then, I would get a tad uncomfy.

I've never dated someone younger than me...but I liked someone a year younger than me..so it's all good. If he's only 4 months younger..don't worry about you..u guys like each other..dat's all that matters!!

doesnt matter at all. evn wit a small difference like that i mean 4 months.. wuts that. thats nothing. my friends parents are 10 years apart. wow

It's just my first time having a bf thats younger than me. I know it only 4 months but it feels more than that. And you guys, WE ARE NOT IN LOVE. WE JUST HAPPEN TO LIKE EACH OTHER ALOT

girls one year younger than me always like me.. i hate it but i trying to find a girl around my age... 16 and yeah.

its okay to date someone younger than you, it all depends on the person maturity and stuff..

what happened to "age ain't nothing but a number?"..


but no, never dated someone younger than me, actually, i never dated anyone at all.

but yeah, some younger guys are pretty cute.

age should never matter.....
actually it doesn't matter......

i don't think age really matters if you like and care about them. but, if they're too old, it may be a problem. eh, the only bf i had on like 1 week younger than me. ha.

age difference is not a matter

age difference doesnt matter just dont do anything bad...

i think age is just a number but when it comes down to reality you wouldn`t wanna date someone who`s 50 and you`re like 15... anyways... don`t feel awkward because it`s just 4 months and there`s a first time for everything right?? i`ve heard worse... right now i`m into this 19 year old guy and i`m like 14... i think i should be the one feeling awkward ...

i have alwaiz had a crush on older grlz like u know 1 or 2 years, not really into grlz my age, the ones around here are soooooo, immature....

so i dont really think its a problem...

Sometimes it does But as long you guys really love each other

no it doesnt matter, it might feel kinda weird, but if u love eachother enough, u guys will make it through

Umm, if the guys are like four years older than me that's alright (My bf is 20) and yeah..If they are like REALLY REALLY old, then yes, age does matter..

And no I have never dated someone younger than me...I like someone younger than me though....well not really like, but I think he's cute. :D He looks like his brother who graduated.. :D

you`re right about crossing the boundaries of statutory rape [18+] but in your case i think its prefectly fine .. at any age [without breaking the law] it doesn`t matter how old the person is that you "love". It shouldn`t matter what anyone else says, you`re just lucky to have met someone you really care about and who really cares about you .. screw the age difference!

4 years younger? haah no biggie.. at least its the same year.

oops.. i mean months.. n__n hehe

i dont think it matters if its only four months.. =]
