matter in terms of what? as far as the relationship goes, as long as the two of you like each other and you're both 18 years of age or older, then there shouldn't be any problem here.
An age gap of up to 10 years is really not that big of a deal at all, but things do get trickier once the age gap gets bigger than that. Not necessarily that the relationship between the two people involved would be different, but friends and family might put a restraint on the relationship. Imagine, for example, that you are in your 40's dating someone in your 20's that is close in the same age to your own daughter/son. That is a situation that might make your children uncomfortable. The other persons parents, who are probably similar in age to you, might feel strange about the situation as well. But, when it all boils down to it, you've got to do what makes you happy in the long run. If the relationship is solid, you should be able to get over the initial awkwardness from your friends and family in just a few months I would imagine. Once everyone knows how serious you are, the concern will pass.

The age you are isn't the real issue. Physical age isn't the thing that separates or binds you together. Your mental outlook and upbringing including similar experiences of growing up are the things that make you work. I have been 10 years older than my last 2 women. One I had nothing in common with while the other is now my life partner. This matters less the older you get. 10 years would matter less to a couple at 60 and 50 than would 2 years to a couple 18 and 16. Just don't bring home someone older than your parents if you can help it. That is hard for them to handle

Not unless you want it too.?
But remember that society frowns on such relationships.
We say that a ten year gap is the max...
But the younger the couple are ,the more people frown and the age gap would need to go down to like five years.?
Younger females would go for older men men for reasons of security etc.
Older men could go for younger girls because of an ego thing.
Old men that take young girls are known as cradle snatchers.?
Older women that take younger boys could do so because of virility matters.?
There is no hard and fast rule.
Love blinds us...infatuation confuses us.
Be alert.
People will talk shite anyway.?

There are 4 distinctive perspectives in this. each physique tend to fall right into a style of four categories while asked questions like this. a million) some human beings say "intercourse is okay as long as the two individuals are over the criminal age of consent of sixteen or 17 or 18 or despite it relatively is on your section". those are those with a grip on actuality and understand the regulation. the only suitable human beings. 2) Then there are the persons who say "18. consenting adults." i could wager it relatively is the final public of persons. 3) Then there are the persons who consistently ***** approximately age gaps. They dont look to nicely known the age of consent or the age of adulthood. they are going to ***** a pair of 29 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous woman and a 40 seven 3 hundred and sixty 5 days guy with a similar anger as a 40 seven 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous guy and a 11 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. i think this group is many times older women folk who want a sparkling branch between youthful girls folk and their turf. 4) Then there are the persons who say "if there is grass on the enjoying container, PLAY BALL!". those are many times pedos. i'm in group #a million and that i'm happy that group #a million has regulations backing them up. communities 2-4 have diddly backing them up. in simple terms plug your ears while they whine.

I don't think we should allow society to dictate age restrictions in relationships. There is a 21 year age gap between my boyfriend and I (I'm 27). I have never been happier in my life. Just like with any relationship, it needs to have the essentials like trust, understanding, communication, interests, goals, etc. If those elements are in place, then nothing else matters. Love is the greatest feeling in the world, and age shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing it.

well I think a 10 year age difference is fine as long as it's legal my boyfriend is 10 years younger than me I am 37 he is 27 and he treats me better than my ex did that was older. I just think like the Ana Nicole thing was a bit much. I know allot of women that date younger men and also the other way around it's all in your heart not in your pants.

Nothing should stand in the way of true love, certainly not something like age, but there is a limit. For example, as you get older the age gap becomes less and less significant, like a 40 year old dating a 25 year old would be frowned upon, but a 65 year old married to a 50 year old would be considered normal, even tho theres still a 15 year age gap.
Also, theres the chance of being labelled a gold digger, cradle snatcher, dirty old man etc etc. But dont let it bother you if it feels right, just go for it!

It shouldn't. My partner is 29 years older than me and we are very happy together. Some issues may arise as society can be quite judgamental, they might think one is a gold digger and the other one is a moron. My advice is to not care at all about what people says as long you are happy. Family and friends may be shocked at the beginning, but believe, if they love you they will accept your decision in the end. It has happened to me and our friends are so cool about it and our families totally embraced our relationship that we no longer feel guilty and when we see people on the street looking at us, we just laugh, they don't realise how much we love each other.

I never used to think it mattered until i was seeing a guy who was 39 which made him 17 years older than me . I t was never going to work we both wanted different things out of life i am still young and still wanted to do the whole clubbing thing where he preferred to stay in. So i would say yes sometimes it does matter.

Doesn't make a blind bit of difference. As they say - 'age is just a number'. My late wife was 18 years older than me and we were together for 16 years before she passed away. My girlfriend is 16 years younger than me (wierd coincidence I know) and we're now looking for a place together and she's expecting in May.
