I am so glad I'm not a teenager anymore, I was getting so sick and tired of hearing about these damn teenage girls and their 20 some odd year old boyfriends.
Anyway, I've had a girlfriend who was a year younger then me, my friends up to 2 years younger, and one friend had a g/f the same age as him, I think she was a month older then him, so with how society is today, who really cares, everybody is all up your grill anyway. 🙄
My relationships... when i was 18, she was sixteen... we stayed together until three years ago, nearly... shortly after I was 33 I went out with an 18 year old, both of us ackowledging from the start that it would be just a fling... lasted two weeks (but what a fortnight it was !!!) then I went with a 17 year old, who admitted she was using me for my mobility, premises and money, (as well as the extra experience!!) and that lasted a month.... but as with the prior relationship, neither of us had any illusions about what we wanted... now i'm sort of with a 42 year old divorcee... and i'm 35.... but as my mate Spoon says... "seven years isn't always seven years.." By which he means that the difference between 42 and 35 is not as much as that between 16 and 23, or 17 and ten... and I must add that my 18 year old "ex" had a job and her own place, and the 17 year old approached me.... which was such a surprise I nearly keeled over and died on the spot.....
I don't think it maters that much.
Inleast acouse it is a fifty years old man dating a woman who is in her thirtys or worst twentys.There is something I think wrong with that.
But I like guys to be older then me when I date.
My boyfriend is fifteen and I am fourteen.and that is a fine age to me.I dont know but I can never go out wiht a guy younger then me for some reason.
It just feels strange somehow.JM 😕

I feel weird with guys younger than me. I'm 20 (in a month) and my brother has some hot 17 yr old buds, but there is no way I would go there! They are my brother's friends for a start, so that would be too odd, and they are my brother's age, also weird 😬
Re: Age Difference in Relationships?

What do you think about age difference in relationships? Do you think it can work out? How many years difference do you think is okay?Would you date someone, say twice your age, if you had strong feelings for them or even loved them? Or would you stay away 'cos of the age thing? 😬
I think if the two people love each other and can respect each other and their ages it could work out ✅
It could also not work out, because you may both be so different. You may not be able to hold a proper conversation about things, 'cos one is more interested in stuff long gone and your more interested in things nowadays, I dunno 😕 Hope that makes sense 😬
What do you think?
I'll make this short sweet and to the point.
If you're underage and they arent... dont have sex.
Vice versa.
Other than that... date a pedophile, it doesnt matter to me.
I've always been older than my ex-girlfriends. My first relationship I was 21 and she was 19. On my second relationship I was 25 and she was 20. It really depends on the individual and the how the relationship works. What I've learn was that communication was one of the most important things. Sure love comes first but without having in depth conversations is pointless to have a relationship. Age isn't important what's important is communication.
Age is relative, but there are some situations that are just not appropriate. An adult with someone considerably younger, like, 30, and 16...it's well, deplorable.
My br in law is 39 and dated an 19 year old. She was older than her years, and they connected. Almost ALL of my gf's have been younger than me, with the exception of one 38 year old. If you are comfortable with the person and care for them, why SHOULD it matter?

Exactly, and the fact that we are judging relationships based solely on age is a little off key also. There are so many more elements to it than that. Like whether there is a strong connection or bond, as Moose said. Who are we to say that another person's relationship is immoral just because we think the age gap is too much?

See...if I am say, 26, which I am, and I met a girl, oh, let's say she's 19, soon to be 20, I'm not going to let the fact that I am 6 years older and wiser stand in the way of going for her, if she engrosses me.
Totally! If you really have an interest in this girl, if she intrigues you that much, then why worry about such a small number? I can probably guarantee that she isn't too bothered.......

You think so? I mean, I really think she is totally cool, and it's not that many years. She's funny, articulate, deep, TOTALLY mesmerizing. I can carry on a conversation with her without a lot of "like ya know's"....I just want to make sure she feels the same.

Jeez, now you have me hooked!! 😂
I'd really love to know who this lucky chick might be, but I'll settle with telling you that she'd have to be nuts not to feel exactly the same. I'm actually getting to know this guy at the moment who popped up outta nowhere and branded my mind and soul. It's awesome, he's really smart, witty and such a sweet guy. And the convo thing, I'm finding the exact same thing with my 'new crush'.
