age difference in a relationship Options

[*This Confession*]

really
its 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.

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.

[*My Cinderella.*]

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.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

I don't know really. As long both are mature . But if they're pulling an Anna Nicole Smith thing...omg

What do you mean, "Actually Nope"? You just agreed with what I posted.

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!

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.

yeah… it'd be like dating one of your parent's friends.

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 =)
