Do you feel awkward, if the guy is younger? Options

[Simply_unique]

um i tried searching and i dont see a topic on this one but yea.. I know everyone says age doesnt matter in love but honestly if the guy is younger then you.. do you ever feel a little weird?? i just want to know everyones opinion.. cuz i kinda feel weird.. well i guess it wouldnt matter if i really liked the guy..

[annalucky]

No, unless he's alot younger.

Like Ashton and Demi Moore. It looked a little odd to me, but they said they loved each other. then, hey, who gives.

[TYPiKALFEMME]

Um, if he was year or 2 younger than me. It wouldnt be too weird but as for me, I would like someone a year younger, same age, or 1/2 years older than me.

[_sarcastic_]

depends on how much younger 1 year is fine. but i prefer guys the same age or older than me

[Nicolatofu]

Yes I think it is weird. I wouldn't date guys younger than me.

[misoshiru]

yes i would. once i had a minor crush on a guy who was 1 month older than me, but later on, he was still too immature for me. i prefer guys who're at least 1/2 a year older.

[imm]

Not really, but it kinda depends on both of your personalities. Usually the younger guy is more naive and callow, so the girl has to take the lead. Unless you're okay with that, it is going to be weird.

[edit]
Actually it IS true about the age not being important. However, this only goes for couples that are a *bit* older than us because by then, the maturity levels of both people are pretty much equal.

[koreanballerbaby]

yeah i guess if its true love it wont matter....i use to think couples where the girl was like 1 year+ and up older than the guy that..it was super weird...but i dont know anymore.. i wouldn't go fer younger than a year though..that's just too strange fer me. xD

[mzbbc]

yea. it's awkward for me i'm usually not interested in guys my age or younger.

but for other ppl, it's fine. just go with whatever you want cause we all know age aint nothing but a number.

[jEllyBeaNs]

nope not really. it all depends on if he looks older and if he's mature then it doesn't matter.

[JustAnotherTeena...]

As long as he's mature enough, then what the heck? why not?

[ANG33ZY]

nah cause if i'm with a dude younger than me it's cause he has a level of maturity.

[blackxpearl]

psh no. I'd only go a year older or younger though. The guy I like is a year younger, I don't think it'd be awkward. My ex was a year older and that wasn't awkward either.......come to think of it, it only lasted two days but I'm fussy and he wanted me for sex so he wasn't worth it.

[islandkiss]

age shouldn't matter as long as the age difference isn't too big but I personally would feel awkward dating a younger guy,.

[WHOngos144]

if he's 1 or 2 years younger than me, no.

[mai_z]

I've always gone for older guys, so yes. But really, it's cuz of the immaturity. Younger guys can be SO freaking immature...of course you have your exceptions, so I would have no problem with "mature" younger men.

[LoST SouL]

i rather go out wit younger guys but ill only go as far as 2 yrs younger

[xxslithr0atxx]

yeah haha ... that wasn't really normal.. but now i noticed there are more couples like that. i have a guy that is my age, but i think a lil older is the best.

[xourzest]

if he's youger if months then it's ok but in years nooo way! but to me wut really matters is the height can't be shorter than me!!

[haleakala1]

hmm maybe a year younger.
i prefer older men.

[LittleLulu]

i've only dated younger men, sadly.

It wasn't such big a deal...i mean, one guy was only like 2 months younger than me, and the other was only 5 days younger than me.

I think i felt more akward when i dated a shorter guy. ...i was only taller than him by an inch, but it was still pretty obvious that i was taller, and for some reason that really bothered me.

The worst part is, he became the same height as me after the summer...and he was a whole inch taller than me when he started dating my best friend....talk about super akward.

[pinayprincess]

my boyfriend is younger than me [by about 3months june - september], as long as hes not a yr younger or w/e.. im all good... since we are born in the same yr, it doesnt matter..... it would feel werid if he was born a yr younger than me

[MasonsBaby16]

well I guess it all depends on both your ages...like me and my bf hes only like 3 months younger than me(dec-me march-him)...but say your like 14 or 15 and he is like 2 years younger and hes 12 or 13 yea thats kinda wierd. Guess it all depends on how old you are and how much younger he is...

[SirSmellie]

my boyfriend's 1 year and two, almost 3 months younger then I am. Mentaly we're on the exact same level. At first I was worried he'd have childish feautres, but defenitely not. He's been through extremely rough stuff, so he matured faster then lots of his peers.

I don't notice any difference between us when it comes to maturity and interests.

The only crap part is that when I turn 18, he'll be 16 for two months more. It's not a problem to me, but I know other people will think weird stuff. My sister's already teasing me about it, meanwhile my birthday is still a while away (march). It's simply annoying when people do that. If it was really that bad I wouldn't be with him in the first place. But we're absolutely perfect together.

If age really is such a big deal in a relationship (constantly worrying), then obviously it's not meant to be.

[x3Death.By.Knife...]

its so weird.. cause the way I see it, couples feel weird if they're a couple years apart, when they're in school. But, once they're in their 20s and 30s, age doesn't really matter =/

[ComradeRed]

When he was in his forties, Hugh Hefner asked out a girl in her early twenties. The girl said, "But I've never been with anyone older than twenty-four!" To which Hugh answered, "That's okay... neither have I."

An inspiring anecdote and one that is very applicable to this situation.

[omgah_itsmaggiex]

if i was like..40 and he was 20..then yes. very akward.

but if im 18, and hes 17, sure, why not?

[chocolateaficion...]

I don't care the age; the only thing is the maturity level, passion, love, all that jazz.

That's just me.. everyone dislikes being with someone younger, sigh. I feel like crying.

And really.. if you really cared for the person you were with (or planning to be with), you wouldn't leave (or deny) them for a number.

[m.ar.i.a]

i think that would be weird.... way. even ppl a yr younger than me seems like they r little.

[bballchick1]

if it's only by like a couple of months then i don't think i'd feel weird but if it was like by years then that'd be strange i think..although i've never been in that situation

[mouse_3k]

just a little..I dont wanna become a pedaphyle

[XqUiiSiiTxMiiSz]

IT DEPENDS WHAT YOU LIKE. GUYS MATURE ALOT SLOWER THAN GIRLS. SO A YOUNGER GUY IS MORE LIKELY TO BE LESS MATURE THAN YOU, BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE HIS HEAD IS AT AND WHERE YOURS IS,WHAT YOU BOTH WANT AND HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT EACHOTHER. IF HE IS ABLE TO SATISFY YOU AND MAKE YOU HAPPY THEN DO WHATEVER FEELS BEST.

HOPE IT HELPED

[grab-it]

no..
my boyfriends younger then me - but thats by about 2 months.. so like that would have a noticable difference..
but if its a significant age difference - well i dont know. Because guys mature at different ages, depending on what they've been through.. i mean you might not be wanting a serious thing, just a bit of fun - so you go for a younger guy who will want that to. depends what you want, and where your at. also where they are too..
this is a weird but good question..

its so weird.. cause the way I see it, couples feel weird if they're a couple years apart, when they're in school. But, once they're in their 20s and 30s, age doesn't really matter =/

yea i see that too.. my friends been going out with this 20 year old guy for almost 2 years, and shes 16.. almost 17.. the age wont matter when shes out of school, but everyone looks at her differently coz shes young and hes a little bit older.. and yea..

[xscore]

i just think it's a little weird.
there's this really really cute guy at school who likes me, but he's a YEAR younger. grrr.
and i do feel a little bit awkward. especially when i think about my best friend, whose brother is exactly a year younger than her. =x

[Smoogrish]

Well. It depends on how much younger. I'd say more than two years is too much younger, it probably would be a bit weird. But if it's only one year, I'd say it's fine, as long as you both love each other.

[sweetabandon]

well, i don't think so as long as you connect on a good level. (no pun intended)

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

i was 7 months older than my ex-boyfriend... it didn't really bother me. I won't date a guy thats a year or more younger though

[xhidethedetails]

My bf is about 10 months younger then me as long as the guy I'm dating isn’t 2 years younger then me I'm ok.

[FoxBandCutie08]

Well, I went out with a guy in the grade under me, and it was OK. Sometimes you may seem a little superior as far as experience or intelligence may go, but it really shouldn't be too akward.

[cheerbee07]

it depends on the age difference...
for example, i'm 16 and wouldn't date a guy that's 14 or below.

age isn't really anything but a number, but at the same time, from what i've read, guys mature (emotionally) slower than girls. so yea.

for some reason i usually end up liking 15 year olds though...

lol

[Stephire]

I feel extremely awkward.


Older guys pwn younger guys.

[timeflies51]

i dunno, i've never liked a guy younger than me.

i have a 14-year-old friend who likes a 12-year-old, and she doesn't seem to care at all. everyone else doesn't approve, but i don't really care much. now, if it was a 10-year-old, then i'd raise an eyebrow, of course.

my ex-b/f's best friend's parents were 20 yrs. apart. kind of creepy, if you think about it. when the husband was 20, the wife wasn't even born yet.


(EDIT)


My boyfriend is six months younger than me, and it's fine.

[funkayyfreshhh]

not unless its 2 or more years younger . but like if its ` a few months , i`m coo widdit.

[Vaness336]

If he was YOUNGER YOUNGER yeah... Depends on age. If I was 22 and he was 17 yeah.. I would feel weird.. If I was 30 and he was 25 I would feel awesome.. haha :) But I've always dated older.. so I've never delt with this first hand/

[Bobblehead425]

This may be a bit off topic but not really. I feel a bit awkward when they are skinnier.

Younger too, yes.

[love_angie]

too young is too much.
i think i would only go a year younger.

[newyork__lies]

Lmao. I think it just depends on the person. Personally, I wouldn't date younger guys because I see them more as.. "Aww, cute." Not "HEY BABY!" lmao.

I just wouldn't date younger guys. But, that's just me.

<3

[NgocQuyen]

i would prefer if the guy wasn't younger than me. i do feel weird if the guy is younger...so i just don't date younger guys lols

[lovescream]

Well, yeah. >.>
I mean, if he was a few months younger, yes. But anything beyond a year kind of scares me. I don't know why. But height matters to me too. I wouldn't care if I really really REALLY liked the guy though.

[FLIPxADDICTION]

no. unless he's super younger.
=/

[eternalyfe]

Yeah, it is a bit awkward. Mostly because of what other people would say/feel about you. I guess dating younger people to others is a bit desperate.

[mocassinsx29]

my limit right now is 1 year younger. but when i get older, the limit will get wider and wider. cause right now... i'm a freshmen and dating a 7th grader seems kinda awkward. but if i'm like 35 i won't really care if the guy is 32. (but hopefully i'll be married by then!)

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

As strange as it is, I only go for younger guys or same age BUT! Not to worry, I'm no petifile.

[thriftstoresecre...]

totally. I've dated guys a couple years younger than me, and most of the time it's not an issue (I don't date <i>immature</i> guys). But especially this year when I'm getting ready to apply to universities and stuff, and he's still in grade 11 bio. It was really more about the different crowds we hung out in. (I've only ever dated one guy who went to the same school as me)

One time I hooked up with a guy two years younger and at least a foot shorter. THAT was weird... I had to hunch to kiss him! He was practically on his tippy toes!

[priyas]

1 year is okay.
more than that. ..yeah. weird.

[mickybeans]

personally, i dont think i'd ever find attraction in a younger guy. i guess because i have a younger brother (he's only a year younger than me) and so it'll only be awkward for me to date someone that is my brother's age-- its just all too awkward. and plus, i like older guys. :)

[vintageheartx3]

not exactly, if it is one year.
otherwise, younger than that.
nope.

[sunissed14127]

I don't like dating younger guys.....I like guys my age or older. I guess it's just a maturity thing.

[lemur]

As long as he's mature enough, then what the heck? why not?

I guess so, but I never was one who reeled in the young ones. I like my men older than I am, with a side order of maturity, please.

[tokyo-rose]

If he's less than half a year younger, then it's all right. But if it's a year or more then I'd feel weird.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

im dating a uy whos one year younger
and its not that bad
but we do have our differences at times

[Laughsalot]

i prefer older guys. even if the guy was just ONE day younger than me i still wouldn't go out with him

[Babykat1992]

Well personally, well actually me and both my sisters don't date younger guys, for numerouse reasons, but yea if I were you I would go with older, that's my opinion...

[*My Cinderella.*]

I have no problem with a year younger but anything younger than that...eh.

[AMY DOOT]

No my BF is by a year

[ldyxluvable]

its whatever i guess depend i like this guy and he younger than me but that not stopping me from liking him

[RememberTheForgo...]

I used to think it would be really wierd, but my current boyfreind is a year younger htan me. Doesnt sound too bad, but I had a hard time with it at first becuase hes 2 grades under me...and I was more worried about what it looked like.

Age never really matters to you, its more if you can get past what everyone else thinks. I did...most ppl cant.

[datass]

Rofl..

Well, younger guys = immature.

[brokenxwingsx]

Honestly, it would be really weird at my age. I wouldn't date a guy younger than me because guys are on a lower maturity level than girls for the first few years of development. I'm dating someone a year older than me (I'm going to be 16 and he's 17) and I still feel like I'm more mature.

I would date a younger guy later in life, because when you're an adult, the maturity issue evens out.

[y0urelectrikk]

if he looks younger.. then yeah.. its kinda awkward.

[mickybeans]

Personally, I would never date a guy younger than me. Once, I found out that a guy that I was kind of interested in was three months younger than me and immediately ended it with him. I find it so awkward and weird, probably because I have a younger brother and I'd feel like I'm dating him.

I've always been attracted to older guys though, for as long as I could remember and so those are normally the ones that I actually pursue.

[drummergirlmarim...]

yeah. this boy thats a freshman likes me. i live in alhambra and and he lives in longbeach. and im a sophomore. it was funny how we met, cuz a 3rd grader and her mom knew that he was hitting on me and i was absolutely clueless. he winked at me, and i was like "HI!!" ^ ^;; but yup. he has a gf and hes a known player so i play it off as a little boy's crush. accept the love people :) yeah, ive never had a bf, but a number of people like me... like 8 people confessed lastyear 06? :/ also, i like a 17 yrold @^ ^@ hes very cute to be with :) i think he likes me too :D im 15 btw. hes a junior though.

Honestly, it would be really weird at my age. I wouldn't date a guy younger than me because guys are on a lower maturity level than girls for the first few years of development. I'm dating someone a year older than me (I'm going to be 16 and he's 17) and I still feel like I'm more mature.

^^ thats what i always think :D and thats what i always try to tell me dear dear friends that are in love with people older or younger than them. (i like a older guy too, but its not like i want to marry him or do him or whatnot.)

[multifaceted]

i think any normal person would feel awkward... people just have that idea that youngers are less mature... but age is just a number remember

[chibichi15]

i personally like older guys. but if he's like 6 months younger, than whatever.
