i am curious what people think , is it ok seeing someone older/younger than you, does age make a difference?

Answer 1

Depends on the people and the age difference.

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong with age differences. There's 11 years between my husband and I. Why would you have to date someone that's around the same age as you. They always seem to be the immature ones. It's great to date older or younger people. It's helps to keep yourself feeling young. Some parents may have a problem with it but if the love and caring is being played out by both parties then they should be as happy if not happier that their child is seeing someone that can make them feel good about them self. Why worry about other people. Everyone has there own lives to live, they should just learn to stay out of other peoples business anyways.

Answer 3

It can make a difference depending on the circumstances and the persons involved. Minor/Adult relationships are a definite no-no, regardless of what Mary J. LeTourneau may think. Age gaps of 20 years or more, can be problematic but are probably less so these days. 10 - 15 years is better, and closer generationally. But again, depends on the maturity levels of the people involved. I'm in an age gap relationship of a decade which works out fine because we're in the same generation and came of age in the same era, we're also in the same place in life, which also makes a big difference. I don't think there's anything wrong with age gap relationships as long as we're talking about two consenting adults.

Answer 4

I am going through the same thing myself. Wondering if age is just a number. I think that as long as the two people have a great understanding and great relationship and compabitility, then age wouldn't even come into question for them. As long as you're not hurting anyone or breaking the law, go out with whomever you want! Just make sure the other person feels the same way.

If you find someone you can have a great connection with and get along with naturally, why let age get in the way and end it all? =)

Answer 5

Like I just answer the question about 15 minutes ago...Yes it does!
Amagine 20-40 40-60 60-80 If you want to be with a person twenty years older than it will look like that! Will that person be able to keep up with you? Do you want to take care of someone that age that will be your lover, spouse, or what have you? I think that you both should be enjoying life togather! But then it depends on the person. I would prefer 5 years under, or 5 years over.

Answer 6

I would say not to go over 11 years or so because then it is kind of wierd and don;t date a 16 year old when you are 26 that is creepy I went out with a guy when I was 15 who was 19 and then turned 20 there was no problem because of the age it was just an unhealthy relationship. . . because he was an a*shole but no I don;t think there is any problem with dating older or younger guys or girls

Answer 7

It all depends where you both are in your lives and the things that you want in the future. If there is a big difference then it might not work out in the long term but if things are similiar than the odds increase. It also depends on the people and the age difference. What people in your lives say about the relationship also may affect it. You will never know until you actually are in the situation...

Answer 8

In my opinion, theres nothing wrong with dating someon thats older or even younger.....i mean there is a cutting off point. You sure dont want no one thats under 18 (of course that is if youre over 18 yourself), and then of course if that person is old enough to be an older parent or a grand parent (again that depends on how old you are too)......I have family that is 20 years apart and they have a good marriage. I think it mostly depends on how you two feel with each other, are you two comfortable being with each other in private and in public, if so, then go for it. now dont forget, this is just my opinion!

Answer 9

Of course my dear ,an old man of 80 is different from a child of 5, and a man of sixty is different from a boy of fifteen and a man of 45 is different from a young man of 20 and a young man of 35 is a bit different than a young man of 25 and a young man of 32 MIGHT BE a bit different than a young man of 27 etc..However for people who are close to each other in age the feelings towards life play an important role in how they look.

Answer 10

As long as both parties are adults it does not matter, what matters is the connection and bond between the two of you. What matters is having the same moral standards. What matters is if you have the same wants and goals in your lives. What matters is the sexual spark that the two of you share. What matters is if your souls become as one. There is a 12 year age gap between my husband and me. People thought we were crazy and that it would NEVER work. We will be married 13 years in January. We have 3 great kids. And we are still very much in love and attracted to one another. (I am the older one)

Answer 11

i think it is okay, but it depends on how large the gap is...
(like 12 years? 24 years?)

it's not important what people think, it's due to the gap in between makes you 2 seemed to be living in 2 entirely different planet... just like things my generation do & my sister (4 years younger than me) do is already different! let alone a 12 year difference or more! they're still learning how to effectively use resources on the internet while i can't live without internet!!!

of coz, some conservative people may thing it's not good, for more of the time they protect the young & blame the old, which may not be true, but anyway, if you think it's fine, just go ahead~ it's useless to just talk, if it's not working you can't force it~
