Hey Everyone,
Okay well, in my case..Age doesnt matter. Every relationship I've had has been with someoen older, and my current is considerably older. But, I'm looking for everyone else's opinions. Even though I'm quite aware (from personal experience, too) that many people think it's wrong for a large age gap..And I'm looking for honest opinions 'please' try torespect those of us who see differently in how you word your answer. Thanks! Peace Forever, Sarah |

 reallyits a matter of opinion and if your mature enough i'm 14.. and dating a 19 yr old or well pretty much 15 and 20 but yea. we've been together for quit a while just don't care about what other people think and go for it if you feel comfortable  also the legal age isn't 4 years older. you can date anyone.. just if your under than age of 16 and their over 18 then if you have sex its consider rape although a lot of states are different. so really just check the laws before having sex.

QUOTE(mipadi @ Apr 19 2006, 10:24 AM)  It's not really about an age difference, but relative age. A 20-year-old dating a 25-year-old isn't that bad, nor is a 27-year-old dating a 37-year-old. As people age, age differences become less and less noticeable. A 14-year-old dating a 16- or 17-year-old wouldn't be that odd. Generally speaking, though, I'm a bit skeptical of a college-age student dating someone in high school. People mature a lot when they go to college, and I don't care how mature the high school kid is, he very likely has a different mindset and maturity level than someone who has been out on her own for a while. Actually Nope! When I was 14.. I dated a few 16 year olds in my day.

Really
follow what you think is right. Don't go over the top like everyone else is saying and go for someone old enough to be your dad or someone thats like 10 yrs older because it is a little odd. but do you what you think is right. |

how much older exactly is this guy?
 i mean if you're like 15-17 and dating someone over 10 years older than you, then that's wrong...not to mention illegal. "age is not a number"--that's true, but there are ALWAYS exceptions.

To me, there's a limit on older and TOO old for you. For example, I think it's alright to see a 14 year old dating a 17 year old but if I see a 14 year old dating a 34 year old...I'd be creeped out.

i think if you're older than 18, go ahead and date someone older, as long as it's not over 10 years older, that's just creepy. But I know kids who are only 13-15 who are dating 17-18 year olds. I don't think that is legal, & i think it's ridiculous.

 maybe it's just a dream Group: Member Posts: 117 Joined: Apr 2006 Member No: 394,421 |
I've dated people a year younger then me, someone who was almost a year older than me.
 I've almost dated someone who, at the moment, is 3 years older than me. I think it shouldn't get more than 4 years if you're under 18 because it'd be a little creepy just in general. course, that's just how I'd view it. but hey... if you've got someone that loves you and you love them back & they're way older than you, good luck to you two!

where I live... the whole age difference thing only seems to affect high school students. I know plenty of college kids dating people that are 3 or more years different in age... and especially in society today, the age gaps are HUGE... I feel bad for the younger person that has to live alone when their spouse dies...
but personally, for me... it seems that the older a girl gets the more bitchy they get so I like someone a bit younger 16-17 (I'm 18) ... but that's just a huge generalization and I hope no one takes offense =) |
