age difference, just wondering .. Options

[xtreme_<3]

i was just wondering, but to me, the age difference doesn't really matter, it's how much i connect with the person, but i guess if the guy was an old man, i'd have to set my limits right there.

[*Azarel*]

So far, the biggest gap for me has been 4 years. I think that's the max, also.

[shortiiex]

I never dated but several years don't matter, but when i think about it i like to date guys my own grade

[kellyannie]

i think it just depends on how mature you are.

[sammehmyst]

Guys, if you're under 16 you need to think outside the box.
If you're dating a guy that's maybe 16 and you're 13, think about it this way:
16 > 15 > 14 > 13.
That's 4 age groups.
Now pretend you're 7.

7 > 8 > 9 > 10.

This isn't always the case but it's a little thing that might change someone's perspective.

[cmgchica717]

It doesnt really matter to me. My last BF was 2 1/2 years older than me but my current bf is 10 months younger than me.

[christiee_nax]

the biggest age gap ive been in was 5 years. thats my limit i guess..

[*Azarel*]

Now pretend you're 7.

7 > 8 > 9 > 10.

Lol. Seven is smaller than eight is smaller than nine is smaller than ten, silly. :p

[Tung]

as of right now 2-3 years.. but im pretty sure when i get older, age wont seen so important, and maybe even 4-7 years?

[remini]

as of right now 2-3 years.. but im pretty sure when i get older, age wont seen so important, and maybe even 4-7 years?

Yeah, I agree with you about the getting older where age isn't so important. But the age gap shouldn't be so huge that you're going out with somebody from an entirely different generation. (Like somebody as old as your father or soemthing.)

[*stephinika*]

yeah age doesn't really matter to me too much...my mom is 5 years older than my dad. but i've always just had boyfriends my age so yeah...but if i was to go out with someone a bit older/younger then sure.

[xsweetxcandyx]

i think three to four years is best... ex.. freshie in hs and seniorin hs

[blah1234567]

4 years is max for me

[silver-rain]

yeah, i think when you're older age doesn't really matter- my mom us 7 years younger than my dad. but eh, the biggest age gap is 1 1/2 years- my boyfriend turns 18 tomorrow, and i'm 16.

[blah1234567]

but im 13 and my bf is 16

[sammi rules you]

probably 3 years or so.

[lyin_in_wait]

well i think im at that age where if i date and older person its not looked down upon, unless hes older than 20 because then i would hafta wonder what he wanted with me...but it doesnt really matter, but im not craddle robber

[you suck]

i am a sophomore rite now. i would date a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. cuz if they are cute nice and funny, who cares???????

[s0pnayish]

two years is my limit. i had an ex-boyfriend that was two years older than me, and my current boyfriend is a year older than me.

[Chii]

Lol. Seven is smaller than eight is smaller than nine is smaller than ten, silly. :p

hehe at all the sillyness


the oldest i'd date would probably 22 (i'm 15 soon to be 17) and i'm never dating a younger guy ever again, nor would i have to because i found the love of my life

the oldest guy i dated was 21, and that was when i just turned 16, the youngest was...a year and a few months younger...he started school early so i didn't know

my current boyfriend is...3 months older than me but a grade higher

[wonmin]

age makes a huge difference when you are between 1-18/19... but after that... age really doesnt matter

[*Azarel*]

(i'm 15 soon to be 17)

I'm so confused.

[giggl3s]

I use to say two but my baby is four years older so yea, four , and its not creepy or anything cause we've been together for 5 1/2 years

[expoised]

i'm in love with gerard butler. i'd date him. he's 30 something though. so i guess i'd date guys 10+ years older.

jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk.

[dani41790]

im only 14 so for now its 2 years

[rockmyx]

3 year

before you call it child abuse

[WhiteLotus*]

I'd only limit myself to four years...Yeah.

My b/f though is 3 years older than me..

[xTINAA]

well maybe for younger it would be like 2 years younger max but then older i'm not sure. maybe like up to 5-6 i guess? i don't know. i kind of care about age, but i'm sure as i get older i'll start to care less because it will mean less. rather than now when it sounds weird for a senior to be like, yeah i'm dating an 8th grader, whereas a 25 yr old says i'm dating a 21 yr old is different.

[burnoveride]

i am so confused with that whole 789 9876 ahh ok

ummm helloooo, lol sorry im not all here mine is 5 years thats it well yeah is kinda strechen it a bit....

[heyyfrankie]

it doesn't matter. if y'all love/like each other, age doesn't matter!

[heyyfrankie]

it doesn't matter. if y'all love/like each other, age doesn't matter!

[heyyfrankie]

it doesn't matter. if y'all love/like each other, age doesn't matter!

[to-devastate]

2 years, maybe? well. what is age really. its just a number. =]

[bad_girl]

um.. so far it has been 1 year. but i think my limit would be 5 years.. *wink* i would like the guys i used to have crushes on that were 5 years older.. lol. *wink*

[KissMe2408]

lol age difference...oh boy. only jeremy would know why i'm kinda laughing at this question well...i think if the guy is over 25, then i wouldn't date him. lol. there yah go. 21 is the perfect age

[lilJdawg]

Prolly 1-2 year apart is fine with me.

[chaoticchrissy]

well my boyfriend is in grade 11. and im in grade 9. so well ya! i guess thats the oldest for mee =)

[sheddingtears]

just as long as he's not too old. probably 3+ years.

[1--GIRL]

i'd date guys my age to 13 years

[whywasisostupid]

4 years. ive dated an 19 year old though. bad choice

[laugh2much]

2 years, i like em when they're in my grade but sumtimes they fail or have late b-days

[dWang]

two years apart is fair enough

[ethik dreamer]

I think two years is good, but that one certain girl didn't so I was left broken and I now hate that age gap.

[sunissed14127]

I'm 12, and I'll date a 16 or 17 year old, so i guess 4-5 years.

[novemberwind]

hmmm....the biggest age difference between me and a crush was about two years. but right now it a couple of months.

that's interesting, i would like to see someone like someone twice their age.

[*mzkandi*]

i tend to date older guys becuz they are more mature

[lilnatcat]

Mn........dating a guy 2 years younger than me is all I'm gona limit it to.......coz any younger than that, I'm gona seem like sum pedafile(sp?)......but a guy older than me...........3-4 yrs older than me~

[*Weird addiction*]

im 16 and i date guys from 20 to 35, i have no idea why! my friends think its a disease, even my parents but im soooo attracted to older guys!

[_time2fly]

for me, the year diff..maybe 3 years max?

[i_love_billie_jo...]

age, it depends im 14, ide date up to 19... i dated a 21 yo but its not good cuz being that far apart ur on different levels, if that makes any sence. even 19 is pushing it, maybe 15 or 16 wood be my preferd age for my boyfriend to be.

[simply_mystikal]

i use to think 2 was my max.. but now my babi is 5 years older... but everythingz ok when ur in love..

[xOx_aGnEs]

for now itz 2 yrz.. but it`ll prolly change maybe later on i mean im only 13..

[fameONE]

This is an issue that constantly resurfaces with me and my friends when we discuss relationships.

As a freshman, I was rather popular at my old school and, without knowing how old I was, I began dating an 18 year old senior. Eventually, I told her that Iw as a freshman at the time (14) and she was cool with it.

Now, I'm a senior, ready to graduate. Age difference is tricky at this point in my life because a girl can be stacked like a woman but have the mind of a child. Conversely, a girl can be a child and have the mind of a woman.

High school is the biggest dilemma because many people, especially girls, are caught up in the drama and nonsense of everyday social contact. Twice more, many can be smart girls but habitually make dumb-ass choices, say dumb-ass thigns and sacrifice their individuality to be dumb-asses.

Once I'm in the ladder part of my 20s, I wouldn't sneer at a girl 4 years younger than me. I'd welcome it. As for now, the older, the better.

[Ballpointpencil]

I think age is something that matters less and less the older you get.

[fameONE]

I think age is something that matters less and less the older you get.

Thats basically the point I made.

[xMayleex]

I dont think age really matters i could date someone 10+ years but thats only when i turn 16 lol. I would never go out with anyone old enough to be my dad though, it would be totally gross.

[kryzcoak47luv666]

as of right now 2-3 years.. but im pretty sure when i get older, age wont seen so important, and maybe even 4-7 years?

Thats exactly what I was gonna say
I'm 17 now, and I say I would date a guy 3 yrs older, 3 years younger, but I think when your older is doesn't matter as much, like once you hit the 25 - 30 range
have any of you guys seen that couple on Maury the boy was 13 and the woman was 40 and they got married. I could never be 13 and date someone that old, of course they broke up afterwards.

i dont think it matters as long as the two loves each other, and the difference shouldnt be TOO sarcastic..like over 20 years

[mickybeans]

i think 3-4 years is good enough. im 17 and my boyfriend is about to be 20.

[Soleil]

Meh i just want someone to care about me.

[megan_x3]

i think 4 years is the best couple year. because my mom n dad is apart by 4 yrs.. and dey had fights, but recovered fast and moved on . but i think right now for me... its 2 years. =)

[vz_danielle]

five to six years is okay.
but it just depends on how mature
you are.

[cHuNsAbAbIe012]

doesnt really matter as long as the love is real

[lilliannnn]

i voted for 1 year because
i'm in 8th grade but have gone out with my share of 7th graders.
gotta love 'em <3

[*My Cinderella.*]

I'm not interested in older guys, so I guess under a year or two or same age would be fine.

[mighty megan]

i honestly could care less
of course i draw the line at over 25-30 year age difference >_<
20 ive gotten used to though
stepmom=25
dad= 43 or older
>_<

[*chaneun*]

I think for me, it's like.. 2 years. Hahaha, but for younger people, 1 year. I think. Blahhhhhh.

Suckaaa

[AngelinaTaylor]

It really depends what you want, and how mature you are. If you're 14, and you're some "OMG I'm like SO totally upset that my mom didn't let me go to that party" kind of girl, and you're dating a 21 year old ................. uh, that would be wrong. I see it all the time too. I probably wouldn't go over 5 years, and I'm 17.. My boyfriend's 21, and we've been together for a year and a half.

Taylor``

[fathomlessdame]

right now at 14 2 years is pretty big. a 16 or 12 year old... how about no to the younger.. and 16...thats not really a good idea...

[Cupidangel81092]

2 year older than me. taht's the limited. 1 year younger than me . that's the limited.

[flc]

I dunno..3 years I guess.

[nightowl89]

2 yrs. Soooo much happens during your teenage years that anything above that I think the maturity/experince level is different no matter what.

(plus the going away to college thing is tricky...esp annoying when ur a junior and 1/2 yr older means they are either going away in the fall or are already away )

but ideally any age should work...as said above, the older u get, the less it matters. like a 22 and 28 yr old dating seems pretty ok...a 19 and 13...errr...it happens but not the healthiest thing ever.

[Sparkle09]

I think that it depends on your age. In my opinion it's okay for a 20 year old to date a 25 year old. But, it's not okay for a 10 year old to date a 15 year old. It just depends if you are comfortable with the age difference. It's all up to you.

[__PASS10NAT3]

3 to 4 years.
depends on the person though.

[xMayleex]

My biggest age gap has been 2 years I think but age doesn't bother me .. when I'm 16+ I could date someone 20 years older than me .. as long as you love the person there should be no boundaries but when it comes to people under 16 [thats the age of consent of here] I think they shouldn't date people like who are much older than them .. cause it's strange seeing a girl of 13, dating a guy of 17/18 .. thats just my opinion.

[me1issaaaa]

I had a fling with a guy who was four years older than I am, but that's the biggest difference I've had experience with. My boyfriend is now two years older than me.

[AnnahhbeL]

i guess I would limit myself to an age difference of 2-3 years, depending who that person is.

[littledreamer_x]

Hum, well for me, i'm only 14, 15 in September, but I set my limits for now. They say "You fall in love with a person for who they are,not realizing how old/young they are." That is true, but to keep myself safe, I try to go for the guys only up to the age of 18, or if their only a year older than me then it doesn't really matter much. Otherwise, I'd wait until I was of legal age to date a guy over the age of 18. Basically, because i'm a little young girl. :)

Plus, I think my dad would get a bit too suspicious if he found out I was dating someone who can drive. Hah

[angelrevelation]

right now, i'd say 2 years. but when you get older, the age gap doesn't really matter as much. when i'm an adult i'd say 6 or 7 years difference is the max

[*StanleyThePanda*]

A lot of people say "age is just a number" but my sister dated someone 7 years older than her, and she said age had a lot to do with why they broke up.
Age can play a big part, depending on if they are mature, and stable and stuff.

[sarangxai]

It depends on how old you are, but at my age group (17-18) I would say 3 or 4 years.

[x__rilind]

personally, i don't what a person much seperated from me in age, so less than three years generally. and i'd definetly want them to be older. pretty much, i'd date a person 3 years older or one grade less.

[PrincessAda]

3 years top.And if they`re someone I really really REALLY like..maybe 4.

[*Uronacid*]

yeah, age difference really isnt a big deal, but i deffinitly feel more comfortable being in a reltionship with someone who within 2 years of my age... although the girl im in a relationship with right now... she is 5 years younger than me... yeah... i know i broke my own rule, but orginally i thought she was 17... haha XD... i guess shes the one who tuaght me that age really doesnt matter.... I LOVE U SUNSHINE XD

[blurrr]

i think it makesa difference what the ages are...like 13 and 17 isnt good but like 17 and21 is ok and those r both 4 yrs

[july-eighth]

I think 3-4 years older would be the max for me. Though, I think it's most awesome to get someone close to the same age as you.

[waccoon]

yeah, age difference really isnt a big deal, but i deffinitly feel more comfortable being in a reltionship with someone who within 2 years of my age... although the girl im in a relationship with right now... she is 5 years younger than me... yeah... i know i broke my own rule, but orginally i thought she was 17... haha XD... i guess shes the one who tuaght me that age really doesnt matter....

Aren't you like, 19? o-O

[*This Confession*]

^ yea he's 19
he considers himself 20
since his birthday is this month..

[SarahxJoy]

I think two years age difference is okay.

But age isn't a factor in love.
..just in legal matters.

[*This Confession*]

^haha yea,

some states once your over 16 it doesn't matter
and others its 17 or 18..

so if your 15 and dating a guy older than 18
its illegal to have sex with them
because then its considered rape..
and like one person said
it shouldn't be anyones business if you are or not.

[emazing]

Hmm, it really just depends on if the person seems like the one, or if he just seems like the type of guy that you would want your parents to meet/go out with/be with for the rest of your life.

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

one year...
