As you get older I think views change a bit. For me anyway. It really depends on the ages and the situation. In some cases even the country you are in.
In one case I would have no problem with a 40 year old with a 50 years old. The lower you go though it is hard to say. I have a friend who was 29 when he got married to an 19 year old. Some people had a problem at the time. I was all for it because I knew both of them well. I knew they had a good chance and they were happy. They have been married for 6 years now and are getting along great. Now the difference means nothing assuming it ever did to them.
On the other hand I can see certain situations wouldn't be health. Ultimately it is up to the people involved with each other.
As Prince said in one of his songs ‘Why is age more than a number when it comes to love?’; age should not matter if 2 people are compatible and in love; admittedly it is difficult to find someone who is compatible when the age gap is bigger but it an and it does happen. You may have in your mind that someone more than x years younger or older than yourself would be off-limits and that is your personal choice, that chances of you meeting someone of an age that you consider too old or too young would be quite slim as you will not be socialising too much with then; but as you grow older your social base expands and you will have a friend who is say 5 years older than you and you have a lot in common, if they were to have a friend 7 years older than them with a lot in common then you are likely to socialise with them more; if you have that chemistry and attraction and you think you are in love would you deny yourself the possible chance of happiness? It is not as cut and dry simple as putting an age limit on it. My sister-in-Law met someone when she was 21, he told her he was 30, she had reservations and thought he was too old but they are married and have been together for about 5 or 6 years now, he had also originally lied about his age and was actually 35 at the time, it can and does work – I would not discount someone older or younger if you have a connection.
(asian women look young for some reason)
ALL asian people look younger than they really are 🙁 i would know because im almost 16 and i look like 10....cry
anyways...i think in high school you should stick to your own grade or one below...say you're a junior, you should go out with another junior, a sophomore or a senior...
when you get out of high school though i think you're free to pretty much date anyone you want....as long as they're not like...30 years older than you.
as for me personally, i like to stay within my own age group, but if i met an older person and eventually fell in love with them i think i could live with it and make it work...

Well, the problem here is not necessarily age difference, but what age group is in discussion.You see, if somebody who was 20 was to date a 15 year old, that is wrong and gross. However if somebody who was 26 was to date a 21 year old, there is nothing wrong with that.
That is correct.
