Dating And Age Differences

[Cena's Little Helper]

When dating/seeing someone, is age an issue for you (I'm assuming that, when you answer this question, you're an adult and dating someone that is 18 or older)? Personally, I don't think I would date someone that is more than five years my junior or senior. I want to be with someone who is at the same stage in life, and who has the same goals/aspirations and who faces the same problems.

I do I am one year younger than everyone in my grade because I skipped as year so I can only go out with under and above classman.

 

[Lil Wes]

Never been higher than 8 years which was my last "relationship". MILF's own though, I recommend it, not long term obviously but just for a fuck or 10.

I've now got two lady friends! I feel dirty but still, SHAZAM!

 

[Mr. TM]

Tdigle, you know my situation. People attack me, and have threatened me for my love of a younger person. Not Tim, but my dearest Robyn, who is just a little over 5. I wish more people like you understood the joke. Or perhaps I could quit saying it. But then, what would be the point in dating a leap year baby?

Well, all I can say is, "They didn't make 'em like that when I was 5."

Yeah its an issue, I'm probably the same way, 5 years each way would be the most I'd go. My current girlfriend that I've been with for about a year is 3 years older than me, it's the first time I've dated an older girl. I usually date girls that are younger than me. But the age issue comes into play for me at my age because say a girl is 7 or 8 years younger than me, in 5 years when I'm past the party and club stage and want to settle down a bit she might still be in that phase. Same thing if you're 8 years younger, my girl may want to take it easy where as I might want to go out. I'm sure there's exceptions to this but this is my mentality so I normally only go for girls that are somewhere around my age just incase this would end up happening.

I wouldn't date someone younger than me at the moment, when I get older I'm sure I won't mind. Older doesn't really bother me.

 

[Richard]

At the moment, I'd probably only date 2 years younger, or a year older.

 

[Murfish]

Age difference acceptablity depends a lot on the age they are at. If the younger one is 18, then date whoever you want. I happen to know a 17(going on 18) year old that is dating a 14 year old. I get massively skeeved out when I think about it.

Couple things...

1. How the hell did you skip ahead a year?
2. Can't you go out with people in a different grade than you?
3. You're 13, you go on dates to the park, so this really doesn't need your input.

By the way, I know I'm 14, but I think kids my age who say stuff like "Oh, I love him/her, I'm going to marry him/her" are idiots.

It get's easier as you get older. I'm dating a 20 year old... nothing wrong with that, but if I were 19 she'd be 15, and there is a lot fucking wrong with that.

 

[Lee]

I always go for around my age, whilst girls of 18/19 may look very attractive, they just don't seem to have the personality as a whole and I'd much rather sit and chat then go out and get hammered.

 

[Tastycles]

I believe the socially acceptable rule for younger is "half your age, plus seven", and for older it is "your age minus seven, doubled". This only works if you are 14+, obviously.

 

[Ms. TM Canada]

I wouldn't go any younger than myself, unless it was just a few months.
I'd be willing to go up to 5 years older, but no younger (partially because it would be illegal, but this would hold true if I were 10 years older).
I think my reasoning is that if a guy is younger than me, he would be less advanced in his education and/or career than me, and therefore I wouldn't be able to hold intelligent conversations with him. That would be a deal breaker.

I've been on both sides of this "ball".

When I was 15-18 yrs. old, I never wanted to date anyone younger than me. I didn't even want to date anyone remotely near my age. I wanted older, because as a 15-18 yr old, I wanted something that was going to last.. and most people between those ages, don't.

Once I reached 18, and had a considerable relationship with a 23 yr old Mother of 2, that ended anything but well.. I decided that it was time for a difference of opinion. That's when I really met Desiree, who by all rights is the closest to my age as anyone has come.. that I've been interested in.

Once I got older, around 20, I questioned dating younger, but also questioned the dangers in it. My 1st fiance' was a 16 yr. old, when I was 20.

That worked okay, but had a terrible ending and mainly because she was too young to get into a serious relationship. Which leads me to my firm belief, NOW, and that's NOONE under the age of 18, is going to look for a serious-enough relationship. I don't give a shit what you say, it's not there.

So on conclusion, my thoughts on the subject are like this..

10 yrs. + or - are not horrible. I was 19, in lust with a 30 yr. old. Anything beyond that though, is pretty much overkill. You risk not having anything in common, and a decade of differences.

It's better to stick to those near your age grouping, but 5 yrs is just like 5 months.

I don't know about anyone else, but I NEVER expected Will to have an opinion on this.

 

[Father:_Polley]

I'm engaged to a 20 year old. Started going out with her when she was 16 and I was nearly 20. Big deal. It's different when you're younger, once you hit 20's a few years aren't really a big deal.

 

[BooCocky]

But that four year age difference is illegal.. Well, it is here.. At least

 

[Father:_Polley]

But I ain't 'here'.

 

[BooCocky]

I know that. Which is why you aren't locked up in a jail cell labeled as a child molester.

God bless Britain

What the hell were you doing dating a chick that wasn't in University while you were?

I was 20, engaged with a 16 yr. old living with me. (ie. not locked up, or a child molester)

The difference is, I had her Mother's blessing. And she stayed with me throughout the Summer, then moved back to where she was living once School began. (which still would've been with me, had I lived in the same town she went to school at, and not roughly an hour away)

I dated someone that was 6 years younger than me, the lack of maturity in her compared to me was very noticable, and ultimately led to the downfall of the relationship.
