I'm in highschool, going into grade 10 in September. My best friend said that she wants to set me up with a guy she's friends with - I said okay, I'm interested. The thing is, he's going into grade 12 in September.
I don't know whether or not I would want to date a guy that much older. So, my question is, how much older would you let a guy be if you were deciding whether or not to date him, or, how much older is your significant other, and is age important to you, especially if you're in high school. Oh..and if you want to let me know what you think about if I should give the guy a chance, that'd be great too.

I wouldn't go out with a guy more than two years older than me or more. I mean,I would be in a relationship with them. Haha I don't know why. I think we'd be too different. There are exceptions though. I think a year older is better though.
My boyfriend is six months older. Haha. |

Probably 1-4 years. Age ain`t nothing but a number to some people.

Well I'm in highschool, but I'm homeschooled so I don't really care what other people think and such. My boyfriend is 20, and I'm 15. I don't mind his age at all.

It's only two grades. It's very common and not a big deal.
Ive dated guys up to 5 years older than me. Sometimes it was okay, sometimes it wasn't. It doesnt depend on the age it depends on how mature or immature they are. |

Two years isn't a big deal at all. However, if you stay together, you might have some rough spots when he heads off to college the following year... because you'll still have another two years left. But hey, I'd say to give it a shot, this just might be an amazing thing that could happen to the two of you... you never know. Don't let the age difference bother you too much.

QUOTE(xbabyboo @ Jul 4 2006, 10:34 PM)  Probably 1-4 years. Age ain`t nothing but a number to some people. I agree. I dated a guy 4 years older & didnt feel any different. & my last boyfriend was 3 years apart from me. I guess it made everything easier, he got to drive to my house & see me. He got to pick to up to go to the movies hehe

Yeah, I definitely think that I agree with 1-2 years older, but, I'm going to be 15 soon.
By the time my friend would introduce us (because she's on vacation right now), I'd be 15 and he'd be 17. So I'm not sure.. |

In my opinion, 2 years, ha, no big deal. My boyfreind is 19, i'm 15. Yeah, age is no big deal to us. And i think that dating older (or younger) people in bigger chunks once you hit like...16 because yo are more mature i guess. idk, in most cases anyways.

idk some guys might want more since there older, and may have experienced more things.. they might expect the same things they would with a girl the same age |

My boyfriend's 2 years older than me. It's not that big of a deal. Age doesn't matter to me, unless he's 35. :\

2 years isn't really a big deal, I'm 14 so the my age limit is probably 16/17.
So yeah 2 years is fine. |

It's only two years.. But don't do anything you're not comfortable with. I'm 17 and my boyfriend's 22.. But I guess to each their own.

A lot of people date people older then what they are. Some women date younger men cause some men are attracted to older women because of there maturity or features. But it's mostly women dating older guys cause of there maturity or something about the guy. Age is just a number maturity shows your real age in reality.

I guess it really depends on you. Some people prefer closer to age like 2 years apart. Others say age doesn't matter. It's really up to yor taste and if the guy seems good get to know him. I mean it doesn't hurt to get to know someone and maybe once you get out of highschool and you two are still in touch well you can hook up right? Yeah haha.
I've dated a guy 4 yrs older than me? I'm 15 now and he's 19. But I guess I prefer 2 yrs apart at least. |
